We do not find anything in these words that prevents one from supplicating with them. It is permissible for a Muslim to choose the supplication most appealing to him, even if its wording is not established in the , due to the general saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Let one of you choose the supplication most appealing to him, and then let him supplicate to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."
