Explanations are simplified from tafsirs by Ibn Kathir, Mufti Muhammad Shafi, and Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. Spot an inaccuracy? Let us know.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
qul aʿūdhu birabbi l-falaqi
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
min sharri mā khalaqa
From the evil of that which He created
wamin sharri ghāsiqin idhā waqaba
And from the evil of darkness when it settles
wamin sharri l-nafāthāti fī l-ʿuqadi
And from the evil of the blowers in knots
wamin sharri ḥāsidin idhā ḥasada
And from the evil of an envier when he envies."
