أُعيذُ نَجلي بالسور

مِن شرّ ما ساءَ وَسَر

I seek protection for my son from the evils

Of what has been and what is yet to come

أُعيذُه بباطنٍ

مِن آيِها وما ظَهَر

I seek protection for him through the essence

Of its verses and what is apparent

حَصّنتهُ مِن شرّ ذي

حَسدٍ وذي عينٍ نَظَر

I have fortified him from the evil of one

Who is envious and the evil glance of eyes

وشرّ كلّ ذي نفثٍ وذي

عقدٍ عَلى السحرِ اِستَمر

And the evil of those with venomous breath and those

Who persist in sorcery and spells

وكلِّ شيطانٍ بَغى

مِن كلّ جنّ وَبَشر

And every defiant devil

Of every jinn and human

وَشرّ كلّ طارقٍ

وَغاسقٍ وَذي ضَرَر

And the evil of every sneak

And mischief-maker and harm-doer

بِحفظِ ذي العرشِ الّذي

أَحاطَ علماً وَقَدر

Through the protection of He who has the Throne

Who encompasses all knowledge and decree

وَما بِه قَد حُفظ الذ

ذكرُ الكريمُ مِن غِيَر

And through what the Generous One is protected

Whose remembrance is without compare

أَودعتهُ للّه قا

ئِلاً مقالَ مَن شَكَر

I have entrusted him to God

Saying words of one grateful

الحمدُ للّه الّذي

وهبَ لي عَلى كِبَر

Praise be to God who

Granted me in my old age
