Supplications after finishing a meal

Dua 1

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَطْعَمَنِيْ هٰذَا وَرَزَقَنِيْهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِّنِّيْ وَلَا قُوَّةٍ

All praise is for Allah, who fed me this food and provided it (this food) for me without any power or strength of my own.

Dua 2

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيْرًا طَيِّبًا مُّبَارَكًا فِيْهِ غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ وَّلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَّلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبَّنَا

All praise is for Allah, praise that is abundant, pure and blessed. (This food) is not something to be content with (that is, what we have eaten is not enough for what is to come; rather Your blessings keep coming and will never end so that no more would be needed), nor is it bidden farewell (this wada' is from “sending off, leaving”, that is, this is not our last meal; rather we will keep eating as long as we live), nor can it be done without, O our Lord.
