اَللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَ مَا اَخَّرْتُ وَ مَا اَسْرَرْتُ وَ مَا اَعْلَنْتُ

aalllhuma aghfir li ma qadamt w ma aakhart w ma aasrart w ma aaelant

O Allah! Forgive me for my actions of the past and future, those done in secret and in the open;

In al-Kaafi: Narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Faraj who said: Abu Ja’far ibn al-Reza (a.s.) wrote to me:
...And when the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had completed his prayer, he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

وَ اِسْرَافِيْ عَلٰى اَمْرِيْ (نَفْسِيْ) وَ مَا اَنْتَ اَعْلَمُ بِهٖ مِنِّيْ

w aisrafi eala aamri (nafsi) w ma aant aaelam bih miniy.

and my extravagance in my affairs and that which You are more aware of than me.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَالْمُؤَخِّرُ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ

aalllhuma aant almuqadim walmuakhir la ailh 'iilaa aant

O Allah! You are the Beginning and the End, there is no god but You;

بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ

bieilmik alghayb w biqudratik ealaa alkhalq aajmaein

by Your Knowledge of the unseen and by Your Power over all the creatures,

مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِيْ فَاَحْيِنِيْ وَ

ma ealimt alhayat khayrana li faahyini w

if You know that life is better for me then make me live

تَوَفَّنِيْ اِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِيْ

tawafani aidha ealimt alwafat khayrana li

and if death is better for me cause me to die.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْاَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي السِّرِّ وَ

aalllhuma ainiy aasaaluk khashyatak fi alsiri w

O Allah! I ask for the ability to fear You in private

and in public, and to speak the truth in anger

and the longing for seeing You and meeting You,

without any difficult trials and misguiding temptations. O Allah! Adorn us with the embellishment of faith

O Lord, for an untainted heart and a truthful tongue and I seek forgiveness for what

the evil of what You know, for surely You know and we do not know and You are the Knower of the unseen.
