“O Allah, separate me from my sins as You have separated the East from the West.
O Allah, cleanse me of my transgressions as the white garment is cleansed of stains.
O Allah, wash away my sins with ice and water and frost”

Allaahumma baa’id baynee wa bayna khataayaaya kamaa baa’adta baynal-mashriqi walmaghribi,
Allaahumma naqqinee min khataayaaya kamaa yunaqqath-thawbul-‘abyadhu
Allaahum-maghsilnee min khataayaaya, bith-thalji walmaa’i walbarad.
