When Unable to Sleep
Sleep Duas · Reported by Ibn al-Sunni
Arabic
اللَّهُمَّ غَارَتِ النُّجُومُ وَهَدَأَتِ الْعُيُونُ وَأَنْتَ حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ لَا تَأْخُذُكَ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ أَهْدِئْ لَيْلِي وَأَنِمْ عَيْنِي
Transliteration
Allahumma gharatin-nujumu wa hada'atil-'uyunu wa anta Hayyun Qayyum, la ta'khudhuka sinatun wa la nawm. Ya Hayyu ya Qayyumu ahdi' layli wa anim 'ayni.
Translation
O Allah, the stars have set and eyes have rested, yet You are the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes You. O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining, grant my night calm and let my eyes sleep.
