Answer

Transliteration of Sayyidul Istighfaar:
Allaahumma anta rabbiy laa ilaaha illaa anta khalaqtaniy wa ana abduka. Wa ana alaa ahdika wa wadika mastatatu. Aoodhu bika min sharri maa sanatu, aboo-u bi nimatika alayya wa aboo-u bi dhanbiy, faghfir liy fa innahuu laa yaghfiru dhunooba illaa anta.

Translation:
O Allah! You are my Lord. There is none worthy of worship but You, You have created me and I am your slave and I abide by your covenant and promise to the best that I can. I take refuge in you from the evil that I have committed. I acknowledge your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily, none can forgive sin except You.

And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best
