O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin that my body, empowered by the good health that You had granted, was able to commit; every sin that came within the reaches of my power only due to the grace of Your bounties; every sin to which my hand, nourished by Your ample sustenance, extended. And while sinning, I hid myself behind Your veil from the people; and when fearing You, while engrossed in my sin, I relied on Your assurance of safety and forgiveness; and I took refuge in You, with your clemency, not to smite me, and I depended on You, withYour noble countenance and pardon, to forgive me.

So send blessings and peace, O my Lord, upon our Master Muhammad, and upon the family of our Master Muhammad, and forgive my sin, O Best of those who forgive!

Allahuma inni astaghfiruka li kulli dhambin yad'u ila ghadabik(a), aw yudni min sakhatik(a), aw yamilu bi ila ma nahaytani 'anh(u), aw yuba'iduni 'amma da'awtani ilayh(i).

O Allah, I seek your forgiveness for every sin that invites me toward Your anger, or draws me near to Your displeasure, or makes me inclined to that which You have prohibited, or distances me from [the bliss and success] to which You have invited me.

Allahuma inni astaghfiruka li kulli dhambin aslamtu ilayhi ahadan min khalqika bi ghawayati, aw khada'tuhu bi hilati, fa 'allamtuhu minhu ma jahil(a), wa zayyantu lahu ma qad 'alim(a), wa laqituka ghadam bi awzari wa awzarin ma'a awzari.

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin into which I, out of my deviance, lured one of Your creation; or which I, with my cunning, deceived him into doing; hence, teaching him such wicked deeds that he was previously unaware of, and making attractive to him those that he was aware of. Now, I am to meet You tomorrow, with my burden of sins along with the burdens of others' sins.

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin that calls toward deviance; for every sin that leads away from the path of guidance; for every sin that diminishes abundant wealth; for every sin that obliterates long-possessed property and inherited family wealth; for every sin that deprives me of honorable repute; and for every sin that drives away my friends and family.

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin in which I exhausted my limbs, by day and by night - all the while keeping myself hidden, out of shame from Your servants, with Your covering over me; and indeed, there is nothing to cover my sins except what You cover me with.

Allahuma inni astaghfiruka li kulli dhambin qasadani bihi a'da'i li hatki, fa sarafta kaydahum 'anni, wa lam tu'inhum 'ala fadihati ka'anni laka muti'(un), wa nasartani hatta ka'anni laka waliyy(un). Wa ila mata, ya rabbi, a'si fa tumhiluni? Wa talama 'asaytuka fa lam tu'akhidhni, wa sa'altuka 'ala su'i fi'li fa a'taytani, fa ayyu shukrin yaqumu 'indaka bi ni'matin min ni'amika 'alayy(a).

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin with which my enemies intended to disgrace me, but You turned their plotting away from me and did not assist them in disgracing me, as though I were Your obedient servant; and You sustained me until it seemed as though I were Your friend. Until when, O my Lord, will I disobey You and You continue giving me respite? Long indeed have I disobeyed You and You have not punished me; and long indeed have I, with all my evil deeds, beseeched You and You have granted me my requests. What meager thanks of mine can measure up, in Your sight, to even one of Your many blessings upon me?

Allahuma inni astaghfiruka li kulli dhambin qaddamtu ilayka tawbati minh(u), wa wajahtuka bi qasami bik(a), wa ash-hattu 'ala nafsi bi dhalika awliya'aka min 'ibadika anni ghayru a'idin ila ma siyatik(a), fa lamma qasadani ilayhi bi kaydihi sh-shatan(u), wa mala bi ilayhi l-khudhlan(u), wa da'atni nafsi ila l-isyan(i), istatartu haya'an min 'ibadika jara'atan minni 'alayk(a), wa ana a'lamu annahu la yukinnuni minka sitrun wa la bab(un), wa la yahjubu nazaraka hijab(un), fa khalaftuka fi l-ma 'siyati ila ma nahaytani 'anhu, thumma ma kashafta s-sitr(a), wa sawaytani bi awliya'ik(a), ka'anni la azalu laka muti'an, wa ila amrika musri'an, wa min wa'idika fazi'an, fa labistu 'ala 'ibadik(a), wa la ya'lamu sarirati ghayruk(a), fa lam tasimni bi ghayri simatihim, bal asbaghta 'alayya mithla ni'matihim, thumma faddaltani bi dhalika 'alayhim ka'anni 'indaka fi darajatihim, wa ma dhaka illa li hilmika wa fadli ni'matika fadlan minka 'alayy(a). Fa laka l-hamdu ya Mawlay(a). Fa as'aluka ya Allahu kama satartahu 'alayya fi d-dunya, alla tafdahani bihi yawma l-qiyamati, ya Arhama r-rahimin(a).

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin for which I presented my repentance before You; and regarding which I stood before You swearing an Oath in Your name and called Your friends among Your servants to be my witnesses - that I would never return to disobeying You. But when Satan with his cunning tempted me to return to it; and Your foresaking me [ due to Your anger over my impiety] caused me to [despairingly] waver toward it; and my lower self invited me to disobey You once more; I hid myself in shame from Your servants, but openly and daringly committed sins before You, though I knew full well that no covering nor any closed door could conceal me from You and no veil could hide me from Your sight. I still defied You by disobentiently doing what You had prohibited to me; but [despite my iniquity], You did not remove Your covering from me, but rather treated me equal to Your pious servants, as though I had always been an obedient servant and swift to fulfill Your every command and fearful of Your warnings. I remained obscure in front of Your servants, and none besides You knew my secret. You did not single me out from Your servants with a mark of disgrace, but instead showered upon me blessings like theirs; and with this You distinguished me over them as I were, in Your sight, of a status like theirs. All this was owing only of Your forbearance and abundant blessings - generous grace from You to me. For You then, O my Lord, belongs all praise. I ask from You, O Allah, just as You have covered my evil deeds in this world, that You do not humiliate me with them on the Day of Judgement. [Forgive my sins,] O Most Merciful of the merciful!

Allahuma inni astaghfiruka li kulli dhambin sahirtu fihi laylati fi ladh-dhati, fi t-ta'anni li ityanihi wa t-takhallusi ila wujudihi wa tahsilih(i), hatta idha asbahtu hadartu ilayka bi hilyati s-salihan(a), wa ana mudmirun khalifa ridaka, ya Rabba l-'alamin(a).

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin for which I spent the night in sleeplessness, savoring the pleasure of soon committing it and waiting in eager anticipation of its realization and fulfillment - until when morning came, I presented myself before You in the guise of the pious, while concealing in my heart what was against Your pleasure. [Forgive me,] O Lord of the Worlds!
