بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

1بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ

Qul a'uzoo bi rabbil-falaq

Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak

2مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

Min sharri ma khalaq

From the evil of that which He created

3وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ

Wa min sharri ghasiqin iza waqab

And from the evil of darkness when it settles

4وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ

Wa min sharrin-naffaa-thaati fil 'uqad

And from the evil of the blowers in knots

5وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

Wa min shar ri haasidin iza hasad

And from the evil of an envier when he envies."
