قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ (1)

(Muhammad), say, "I seek protection from the Lord of the Dawn

مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ (2)

against the evil of whatever He has created.

وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ (3)

I seek His protection against the evil of the invading darkness,

وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ (4)

from the evil of those who practice witchcraft

وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ (5)

and from the evil of the envious ones.
