Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayyum
يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ، أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ
Transliteration
Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayyum, bi rahmatika astaghith, aslih li sha'ni kullah, wa la takilni ila nafsi tarfata 'ayn.
Translation
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer of all — by Your mercy I cry for help. Set all my affairs right, and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.
What this dua means
You call Allah by the two names that mean He never dies and everything depends on Him — then admit you can't manage even a blink without Him.
When to read it
In distress, or as a daily morning-and-evening anchor.
Virtue
The Prophet ﷺ told his daughter Fatimah: never abandon saying it morning and evening. (Tirmidhi 3524)
