Darood E Tanjeena at the Graveyard
Darood E Tanjeena is a blessing on the Prophet that is widely read in South Asia. Here it is:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاةً تُنْجِينَا بِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْأَهْوَالِ وَالْآفَاتِ، وَتَقْضِي لَنَا بِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْحَاجَاتِ، وَتُطَهِّرُنَا بِهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ السَّيِّئَاتِ، وَتَرْفَعُنَا بِهَا عِنْدَكَ أَعْلَى الدَّرَجَاتِ، وَتُبَلِّغُنَا بِهَا أَقْصَى الْغَايَاتِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَيْرَاتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ وَبَعْدَ الْمَمَاتِ
Meaning: O Allah, send blessings on our master Muhammad, blessings that save us from fears and troubles, fulfil our needs, clean us from sins, raise our ranks, and take us to the best goals in life and after death.
An honest note: some scholars say the exact wording of Darood E Tanjeena is not found in authentic hadith. Treat it as a general blessing on the Prophet, not as part of the dua taught for graves (verify).
Shab E Barat Me Kabristan Ki Dua
Many families visit graves on the 15th of Sha’ban. People search Shab E Barat Me Kabristan Ki Dua, Shab E Barat Ko Kabristan Ki Dua, and even Sabe a Barat Me Kabristan Ki Dua.

A report that the Prophet visited the Baqi graveyard that night is graded weak by many scholars, and views on the night differ (verify). Keep the visit calm. Skip loud crowds and fireworks near graves.
Eid Ke Din Kabristan Ki Dua
Eid Ke Din Kabristan Ki Dua is also the same prayer. Many families visit after Eid prayer to remember loved ones. Eid is a happy day, but a graveyard asks for quiet respect.
