After the first sajdah, go to the sitting posture, proclaiming:

Allähu akbar.
Allah is the Greatest.

Recite the following prayer during this short sitting between the two sajdahs:

allähummaghfirlï warhamnï wahdinï wa ‘äfinï warfa‘nï wajburnï warzuqnï

O Allah, forgive me, and have mercy on me, and guide me, and grant me security, and raise me up, and make good for me my shortcoming, and provide for me.

 Listen to the prayer during Jilsa in mp3 format.

Go to the posture of sajdah again to perform the second sajdah while reciting:

allähu akbar.
Allah is the Greatest.

Repeat again three or more odd times during the second sajdah:

subbana rabbiyal-a‘lä.

allähu akbar.
Allah is the Greatest.
