اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا وَلَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Al-lahumma ʾinnī ẓalamtu nafsī ẓulman kathīran wa-lā yaghfiru adh-dhunūba ʾillā ʾanta fa-ghfir lī maghfiratan min ʿindika wa-rḥamnī ʾinnaka ʾanta al-ghafūru ar-raḥīmu
