I seek forgiveness from god
I can’t believe I’ve done that, Astaghfirullah
Astaghfirullah literally translates to "I seek forgiveness in Allah". In a religious way, people can recite it during meditation or say it to others to show humility- to say that Allah is greater or that goodness comes from Allah. In popular culture, people can say this if they see something wrong or shameful (context applies).

Hatija- Astaghfirullah, Allah gives us the knowledge.
