سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى، اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ

Sübhâne rabbiyel a'lâ. Allâhümme leke secedtü ve bike âmentü ve leke eslemtü, secede vechiye lillezî halakahû ve savverahû ve şakka sem'ahû ve basarahû.
