I beg forgiveness of Allah, Who is my Creator and Cherisher, for each and every sin which I  committed consciously or unconsciously, secretly or openly; I also seek His forgiveness for sins  which I know or do not know; O' Allah! Undoubtedly, You are the best Knower of all the  unseen, the best Coverer of (our) failings and the best Forgiver of (our) sins and it is only the  blessing of Allah, which helps (us) to avoid sins and do good; He is indeed the Most High, the  Most Great.

O' Allah! I seek refuge with You to save myself from associating any partner with You, which I  know; and I beg Your forgiveness for sins which I do not know; I solemnly repent and  disdainfully cast off infidelity, polytheism, lie, back-biting, (bad innovations), sneaking (tale bearing), all shameful deeds and slanders and every sort of disobedience and I sincerely  embraced Islaam and declare from the core of my heart that there is none worthy of worship but  Allah alone; (Hadrat) Muhammad is the (choicest) Messenger of Allah.
