اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنَسْتَهْدِيكَ، وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ، وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ، وَنُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ الْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ، نَشْكُرُكَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ، وَنَخْلَعُ وَنَتْرُكُ مَنْ يَفْجُرُكَ
Transliteration
Allahumma inna nasta'inuka wa nastaghfiruka wa nastahdika, wa nu'minu bika wa natubu ilayka, wa natawakkalu 'alayka, wa nuthni 'alaykal-khayra kullahu, nashkuruka wa la nakfuruka, wa nakhla'u wa natruku man yafjuruk
English meaning
O Allah, we ask You for help, for forgiveness and for guidance. We believe in You, turn to You in repentance and rely on You. We praise You with every good. We thank You and do not deny You, and we cast off and abandon whoever disobeys You.
When is it recited?
Recited in the third rak'ah of the Witr prayer in the Hanafi school. Taking the qunut takbir and making a supplication in that rak'ah is wajib, and reciting these two qunut duas is sunnah. Someone who has not memorised them recites "Rabbana atina" or says "Allahummaghfir li" three times until they do.
