رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي.
My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me.
Rabbi inni dhalamtu nafsi faghfirli.
Prophet Musa spoke these words immediately after accidentally killing the Coptic man who was fighting with a man from the Children of Israel. Hence, he wasted no time seeking Allah’s forgiveness, and so, on account of his genuine regret, Allah forgave him for what he had done. -Tafseer As-Sa’di and others.
