1

Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind,

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ

2

The King (or Ruler) of Mankind,

مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ

3

The God (or Judge) of Mankind,-

إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ

4

From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper),-

مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ

5

(The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind,-

ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ

6

Among jinns and among men.

مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ
