The first part thanks Allah for letting us see a new day. We praise Allah as the creator of this universe and the only God to be worshiped. He has all the powers, and all the praise belongs to him. Here is the dua to thank Allah for everything.
Note: In Islam, the new day starts in the evening after offering Magribh Salah, which is why we break fast at Magribh with the dua for breaking fast, ‘Zahabaz Zamau Wabtallatil.’
In the seocnd part, the reciter is asking Allah to bless this new day. Furthermore, the reciter seeks Allah’s refuge from evil to this day and the next. Here is the dua for protection from everything.
In the third part, the reciter sees Allah’s refuge from laziness, difficulties faced in old age, and tournaments of the grave.

Amsayna Wa Amsal Mulku Lillah in Hadiths
Muslims recite Amsayna Wa Amsal Mulku Lillah to stay protected from evil. Here are the Hadiths transmitting the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) message about this supplication.
Hadith: ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When it was evening, the Prophet (PBUH) used to supplicate: “Amsaina wa amsal-mulku lillah, wal-hamdu lillah. La ‘ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu. —Riyad as-Salihin 1455
Hadith: `Abdullah said: “When he reached the evening, the Prophet (PBUH) used to say, ‘We have reached the evening, and the Dominion has reached the evening, while belonging to Allah. And all praise belongs to Allah. None has the right to be worshiped but Allah, alone, without partner. (Amsaina wa amsal-mulku lillāh, wal-ḥamdullilāh, wa lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu). —Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3390
