Invocation for the withholding of the rain

1. ((اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلاَ عَلَيْنَا، اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الآكَامِ وَالظِّرَابِ، وَبُطُونِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ، وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ)).

   Allahumma hawalayna wala 'alayna, Allahumma 'alal-akami waz-zirab, wabutoonil-awdiyah, wamanabitish-shajar.

   (O Allah, let the rain fall around us and not upon us, O Allah, (let it fall) on the pastures, hills, valleys and the roots of trees.)
