قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ
مَلِكِ النَّاسِ
إِلَٰهِ النَّاسِ
مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ
الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ
مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ
Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
the King of mankind,
the God of mankind,
from the evil of the retreating whisperer,
who whispers in the hearts of mankind,
from among jinn and mankind.
Qul, Aʿūdhu bi-rabbi al-nās,
maliki al-nās,
ilāhi al-nās,
min sharri al-waswāsi al-khannās,
alladhī yuwaswisu fī ṣudūri al-nās,
mina al-jinnati wa al-nās.
