اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ، وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ، وَالْعَمَلَ الَّذِي يُبَلِّغُنِي حُبَّكَ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ حُبَّكَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَمِنَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ.
"Allaahumma innee as'aluka hubbak, wa hubba may-yuhibbuk, wal-'amalal-ladhee yuballighunee hubbak. Allaahummaj'al hubbaka ahabba ilayya min nafsee wa ahlee wa minal-maaa'il-baarid."
Ewe Mwenyezi Mungu, hakika mimi nakuomba mapenzi Yako, na mapenzi ya yule anayekupenda Wewe, na amali itakayonifikisha kwenye kupata mapenzi Yako. Ewe Mwenyezi Mungu, yafanye mapenzi Yako yawe yenye kupendeza zaidi kwangu kuliko nafsi yangu, familia yangu, na kuliko maji baridi (wakati wa kiu kikali).
O Allah, I ask You for Your love, the love of those who love You, and the deed that will bring me to Your love. O Allah, make Your love dearer to me than myself, my family, and cold water.
Dua ya Nabii Dawud aliyokuwa akiifanya mara kwa mara; huleta upendo wa dhati wa kimungu moyoni.
