Allāhumma ʾīniy ʾasʾaluk alʿafw walʿafiata, walyaqin fi alakhirat walʾuwlā
O God, with Your knowledge of the unseen and Your ability to create, keep me alive as long as You know life is good for me, and cause me to die when You know death is good for me.
Entrust your lifespan to Allah: life while it is good, and death when it is better.
