Arabic term or phrase: inaal din
The man – Moroccan – is mad at his wife, who practically doesn’t let him have his noontime sleep because their baby is crying and she’s at the moment busy with something else. He says, “Inaal din---” under his breath. (can you please add the Arabic writing of it?)

God damn....
Explanation:
The full expression would be "inaal din..." followed by the name of the person or the thing to be damned. The word is actually "yelaan" but is often pronounced "yenaal/inaal"
In Arabic: يلعن دين...
