Seeking protection from hardships and harm
The phrase you are referring to is a du'a (supplication) for seeking protection from hardships and harm. In Roman transliteration, it would be:
"Allaahumma innee a'oodhu bika min jahdi al-balaa', wa darki ash-shaqaa', wa soo'i al-qadaa', wa shamaatati al-a'daa'."
"O Allaah, I seek refuge in You from the anguish of tribulation, the lowest depths of misery, the bad of what is decreed and the malice of enemies."
This supplication asks Allah for refuge from the difficulty of trials, the depth of misery, the evil of what is decreed, and the gloating of enemies. It is a powerful du'a for protection and relief from hardships.
