There are a number of authentic duas/prayers for astaghfar, both from Quran and hadith. Repenting to God should be our regular prayer and one should never put off turning to Him for their mistakes.
Even when we think we haven't done anything wrong, we are still making mistakes in one form or another. For example, humans waste their precious time and energies by not thanking Allah and acknowledging Him for His countless favors upon them.
So these short duas must become part of our everyday supplications. Spend five to ten minutes after every Salah reciting them while focusing on how fallible and negligent you are, and how Merciful, Loving and Forgiving God is.

These are some of the most popular duas (prayers) for astaghfar (repentance) mentioned in Quran and hadith. You must make them part of your daily recitation as we need to be on guard all the time, making sure Allah is not angry with us due to our intentional or unintentional mistakes/sins.
I have added English transliteration for those of you whose first language is not Arabic. Although arabic text is important as we have to memorise these prayers in the original language, but understanding the real meaning of these duas are all about is even more important as Allah wants us to repent with all our heart - not just some empty words with no real feelings of guilt and shame.
Stay blessed and thanks for dropping by. Please share these duas with as many people as you can.
