اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدتُ وَبِكَ آمَنتُ، وَلَكَ أَسلَمتُ، سَجَدَ وَجهِيَ لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ، وَصَوَّرَهُ، وَشَقَّ سَمعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ، تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحسنُ الخَالِقينَ

Pronunciation

Allahumma laka sajadt, wabika amant, walaka aslamt, sajada wajhee lillathee khalaqahu wasawwarahu washaqqa sam'ahu wabasarahu, tabarakal-lahu ahsanul-khaliqeen

English meaning

O Allah, unto You I have prostrated and in You I have believed, and unto You I have submitted. My face has prostrated before He Who created it and fashioned it, and brought forth its faculties of hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators.

Explanation (Tafseer)

This supplication expresses prostration, faith, and submission to Allah. It then reflects on the face as something He created and fashioned, including its hearing and sight, and closes by blessing Allah as the best of creators.
