Meaning
We have entered the evening and all dominion belongs to Allah; praise is for Allah. None is worthy of worship but Allah alone without partner — His is the dominion and His the praise, and He is over all things Powerful. My Lord, I ask You the good of this night and the good after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the evil of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.
