"Allah-humma gufraanak-Alhamdu-lilahi-ladhee adh-haba a'nil-adha wa a'faani"

O Allah, i seek your forgiveness. Praised is Allah who delivered me from filth and granted relief to me.

* Firstly we are asking for forgiveness as we were not able to be in remembrance of Allah in that room and also because we are not able to thank him the way we should.
* Then we thank him for removing the filth from our body, by praising the almighty.

Or say:

"Al-hamdu lilahi ladhee adhaa-qanee ladha-dha tahu wa abqaa-a'lay-ya qu-watahu-wa da-fa' a'n-nee adhaa-hu"

Praised is Allah who blessed me with the taste of food and let energy from it be absorbed in my body and the filthy part of it be removed from me.

* Firstly we praise him for giving us the ability to taste the food.

* Then for removing the filth from our body.
