"Sayidu Al Istighfar" Best Dua for Forgivness

Sahih Al-Bukhari - Volume 8, Book 75, Number 318:

Narrated Shaddad bin Aus:

The Prophet said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Anta Khalaqtani wa ana abduka, wa ana 'ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, A'udhu bika min Sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u Laka bini'matika 'alaiya, wa Abu Laka bidhanbi faghfirli innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta." The Prophet added. "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no God except You

Al-Lahumma 'Anta Rabb? L? 'Il?ha 'Ill? 'Anta

You created me and I am Your slave.

Khalaqtan? Wa 'An? `Abduka

 To the best of my ability I will abide by my covenant and pledge to You

Wa 'An? `Alaá `Ahdika Wa Wa`dika M? Asta?a`tu

I seek Your protection from the evil of my own creation.

'A`?dhu Bika MinSharri M? ?ana`tu 

I acknowledge Your favors to me and I admit my sins.

'Ab?'u Laka Bini`matika `Alayya Wa 'Ab?'u Laka Bidhanb? 

So please forgive me for no one can forgive sins except You.

F?ghfir L? 'Innahu L? Yaghfiru Adh-Dhun?ba 'Ill? 'Anta
