اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ جَهْدِ البَلاَءِ، وَدَرْكِ الشَقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ القَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةَ الأَعْدَاءِ.

Allahumma inni authu bika min jahdi al-bala’i wa darki ash-shaqa’i wa su’i al-qada’i wa shamatati al-ada’

“O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the turmoils, attacks of misfortunes, and evil of judgement and joys of the enemies.”

[Reference]

Another translation:

“O Allah! I seek refuge with You from severe calamity, a bad end, a bad fate, and gloating of enemies.”

One can say “daraki” or “darki”. This du’a can be recited during the recommended times to make du’a such between the time period between adhaan and the iqaamah or during sujood and some have included it from the daily adkhaar that are to be read. Allah knows best.
