بِسْمِ اللهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيْئًا أَعْلَمُهُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُهُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَرٍّ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يُلِمُّ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ.
In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from associating anything with You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I know not. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every creature You are seizing by its forelock. I seek refuge in You from the evil of all evil, and from the evil of every creature You are seizing by its forelock. I seek refuge in You from the evil of whatever passes by night and day, except for the night-visitor who comes with good, O Most Merciful.
Bismillahi, tawakkaltu 'alallahi, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika an ushrika bika shay'an a'lamuh, wa astaghfiruka lima la a'lamuh. A'udhu bika min sharri kulli dabah, anta akhidhun binasiyatiha, wa a'udhu bika min sharri kulli sharr, wa min sharri kulli dabah, anta akhidhun binasiyatiha, wa a'udhu bika min sharri ma yulimmu billayli wan-nahari illa tariqan yatruqu bikhairin ya Rahman.
