The dua when leaving the bathroom is: 'Ghufranaka' — I seek Your forgiveness. Exit with the right foot. Some scholars explain this seeking of forgiveness is for the inability to remember Allah while inside the bathroom, or gratitude for Allah removing harmful waste from the body.

Ghufranaka.
Meaning: I seek Your forgiveness.
