Answer:
The concise formula is "I seek forgiveness from Allah," or "I seek forgiveness from Allah and I turn to You in repentance." And the master of seeking forgiveness, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, is:
O Allah, You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship except You. You have created me, and I am Your servant, and I am faithful to Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I admit my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.
اللهم أنت ربي لا إله إلا أنت خلقتني وأنا عبدك وأنا على عهدك ووعدك ما استطعت أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت أبوء لك بنعمتك علي وأبوء بذنوبي فاغفر لي إنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت
