Translation

O Allah, surely (mention her name, daughter of so-and-so) is under Your protection and within the rope of Your security. So protect her from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the Fire. You are the One who fulfills promises and grants rights. O Allah, forgive her and have mercy on her. Indeed, You alone are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful. Abu Hurairah narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered a funeral prayer and said: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا، اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ، اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلاَ تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ “O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and those absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whomever You keep alive from among us, keep him alive upon Islam, and whomever You cause to die from among us, cause him to die in faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us go astray after him.” (Abu Dawood 3202, graded Sahih by Al-Albani)
