1 Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn

Shakir

2 From the evil of what He has created,

Transliteration

2 Min sharri ma khalaqa

2 From the mischief of created things;

Shakir

3 And from the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes,

Transliteration

3 Wamin sharri ghasiqin itha waqaba

Yusuf Ali

3 From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads;

Shakir

4 And from the evil of those who blow on knots,

Transliteration

4 Wamin sharri alnnaffathati fee alAAuqadi

Yusuf Ali

4 From the mischief of those who practise secret arts;

Shakir

5 And from the evil of the envious when he envies

Transliteration

5 Wamin sharri hasidin itha hasada

Yusuf Ali

5 And from the mischief of the envious one as he practises envy.
