اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Allahumma rahmataka arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata 'ayn, wa aslih li sha'ni kullahu, la ilaha illa Ant
O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for, so do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye, and set right all of my affairs. There is no deity except You.
"Not even for the blink of an eye" — tarfata 'ayn. This is the ultimate admission of human fragility. In the time it takes to blink, you could make a decision that ruins your life, speak a word that destroys a relationship, or take a step that leads you astray. This du'a asks Allah to never let go of you, not even for a fraction of a second.
