The traveler's invocation for the one he leaves behind
The dua in its Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with its English meaning.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem
Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.
((أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لاَ تَضِيعُ وَدَائِعُهُ)).
Astawdi'ukumullahalladhee la tadee'u wada'i'uh.
(I place you in the trust of Allah, whose trust is never misplaced.)
