((اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ، وَالفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ)) (ثلاثَ مرَّاتٍ).
allahumma 'afini fi badani, allahumma 'afini fi sam'i, allahumma 'afini fi basari, la ilaha illa anta. allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-kufri wal-faqr, allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabr, la ilaha illa anta
O Allah, protect my body (from illness and from what I do not want). O Allah, protect my hearing (from illness and disobedience or from what I do not want). O Allah, protect my sight, there is no deity worthy of worship except You. O Allah, indeed I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, there is no deity worthy of worship except You.

Context & meaning
Rather than asking for well-being in general, this supplication names parts of the body one at a time. Protection is requested for the body, then for the hearing, then for the sight, each as its own separate request rather than folded into a single one. Between these requests the declaration that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him returns as a refrain. Two refuges close the supplication: one from disbelief and poverty named together, and one from the punishment of the grave.
When & how to recite
These words are for morning and for evening, per the chapter. The Arabic text marks it to be said three times.
Reflection
Disbelief and poverty are placed inside a single request, one a loss of faith and the other a loss of means. The declaration of tawhid then returns once more, ending the supplication exactly as it had punctuated the middle.
