يَا شَدِيْدَ الْقُوٰى وَ يَا شَدِيْدَ الْمِحَالِ يَا عَزِيْزُ يَا عَزِيْزُ يَا عَزِيْزُ ذَلَّتْ بِعَظَمَتِكَ جَمِيْعُ خَلْقِكَ فَاكْفِنِيْ شَرَّ خَلْقِكَ يَا مُحْسِنُ يَا مُجْمِلُ يَا مُنْعِمُ يَا مُفْضِلُ يَا لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّيْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِيْنَ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَ نَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُنْخِي الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِهِ الطَّيِّبِيْنَ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ

Translation:

O Mighty in Power, O Mighty in Prowess,

O Powerful, O Powerful, O Powerful,

Submissive to Your Greatness are all of Your creatures

So (please) protect me from the evil of all Your created beings (may direct at me)

O All Kindly, O All Gracious, O All Bountiful, O Doer of all favours. 

O He whom "There is no god save You.

All Glory be to You. Verily I have been a wrongdoer.

So We heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus do We save believers",

O Allah send blessings on Muhammad and on his Pure and Pious descendants.

(Reference : Dua from Mafatihul Jinan)

Shukran.
