The meaning of rabbana Zalamna Dua is Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will certainly be among the losers means, we have committed the sin that You told us not to, and we have harmed ourselves by committing sin.

We have done that which will incur loss, unless You forgive us by erasing the sin and cancelling the punishment, have mercy on us by accepting our repentance and pardon us for such errors.

So Allah forgave them for that:

…Adam disobeyed his Lord, and fell into error. Then his Lord brought him close, accepted his repentance, and guided him.

Surah Ta Ha 20: 121-122

However, Iblees continued his transgression and did not give up his disobedience.

Whoever follows the example of Adam by admitting his sin, asking for forgiveness, regretting it and giving it up, if he commits a sin, his Lord will draw him near and guide him.

But whoever follows the example of Iblees by carrying on, if he commits a sin, and continuing to increase it, will only go further away from Allah.
