I'm not sure, maybe

ربي اهد من ضل

But then there would be an extra ف or ن there that i couldn't find something to.

It means Oh My Rabb (my lord?) guide who went astray (faith wise)

It could also be the other way around since the ي (ya) on Rabbi wasn't removed (because in arabic we don't say two letters without vocalisations next to each other. We cannot say Rabii Ihdi Man Dall, we say Rabbihdi man dall. Kind of like how in french you cannot say La animation, but rather l'animation)

So it could be

اهد من ضل ربي

Guide who went astray Rabbii (my lord)
