Supplication of the journey

Arabic text

الله أكبر، الله أكبر، الله أكبر،{سُبْحانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ * وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ} اللهم إنا نسألُكَ في سفرنا هذا البرَّ والتقوى، ومن العمل ما ترضى، اللهم هون علينا سفرنا هذا واطو عنا بعده، اللهم أنت الصاحب في السفر، والخليفة في الأهل، اللهم إني أعوذ بك من وعْثاءِ السفر، وكآبة المنظر وسوء المنقلب في المال والأهل وإذا رجع قالهن وزاد فيهن آيبون، تائبون، عابدون، لربنا حامدون

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, {Subhana-lladhi sakhkhara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila Rabbina la-munqalibun}. Allahumma inna nas'aluka fi safarina hadha-l-birra wa-t-taqwa, wa mina-l-'amali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin 'alayna safarana hadha wa-tw 'anna ba'dah. Allahumma Anta-s-sahibu fi-s-safar, wa-l-khalifatu fi-l-ahl. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min wa'tha'i-s-safar, wa ka'abati-l-manzari wa su'i-l-munqalabi fi-l-mali wa-l-ahl. Wa idha raja'a qalahuma wa zada fihim: a'ibuna, ta'ibuna, 'abiduna, li-Rabbina hamidun.

Translation

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. {Glory to Him who subjected this to us, and we could not have subdued it; and to our Lord we shall return.} O Allah, in this journey we ask You for righteousness and piety, and deeds that please You. O Allah, make easy for us this journey and fold for us its distance. O Allah, You are the companion of the journey and the caretaker of the family. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the hardships of the journey, the gloom of the sight and the bad return — in wealth and family. And on return, he says them and adds: "Returning repentant, worshipping, praising our Lord."
