Translation of the Meaning:

O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this life and the next.

O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religious and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth. O Allah, veil my weaknesses and set at ease my dismay.

O Allah, preserve me from the front and from behind and on my right and on my left and from above, and I take refuge with You lest I be swallowed up by the earth.
[Abu Dawood, Ibn Maajah, Saheeh Ibn Maajah 2/332.]
