Istikhara Ki Dua (Arabic)
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ،
وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِن فَضْلِكَ العَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ،
وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنتَ عَلَّامُ الغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِن كُنتَ تَعلَمُ
أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمرَ (یہاں پر اپنا (yahan kaam ka zikr karein) خَيرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي،
فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي، ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِن كُنتَ تَعلَمُ
أَنَّهُ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي، فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنهُ،
وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الخَيرَ حَيثُ كَانَ، ثُمَّ أَرضِنِي.

Meaning
Ae Allah! Main aapke ilm (knowledge) se mashwara maangta hoon, aur aapki qudrat (power) se madad chahta hoon, aur aapki azeem rehmat se darkhwast karta hoon.
Beshak aap qudrat rakhte hain aur main kuch nahi rakh sakta, aap jaante hain aur main nahi jaanta, aur aap ghayb (unseen) ke jaankar hain.Ae Allah! Agar aap jaante hain ke yeh kaam (yahan apna kaam ka zikr karein) mere deen, meri rozi, aur mere aakhirat ke liye behtareen hai, to ise mere liye muqarrar kar dein, ise mere liye aasan kar dein, aur isme barkat ata farma dein.
Aur agar aap jaante hain ke yeh kaam mere deen, meri rozi, aur mere aakhirat ke liye bura hai, to ise mujhse door kar dein aur mujhe is se door kar dein, aur jahan bhi behtari ho mere liye muqarrar kar dein, aur mujhe us par raazi kar dein.
