Translation
O Allah, place within my heart light, and upon my tongue light, and within my hearing light, and within my sight light. Place light above me and beneath me, and on my right and on my left, and before me and behind me. Place light within my soul, and make light great for me. Grant me light and make me light. O Allah, bestow upon me light, and place light in my nerves, my flesh, my blood, my hair, and my skin. [O Allah, place light for me in my grave and light in my bones]. [And increase me with light, increase me with light, increase me with light]. [And grant me light upon light].
