the evil of every female and male,

وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا رَأَتِ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ

 

the evil of what the sun and moon behold.

قُدُّوسٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ

 

Most Holy, Most Holy, Lord of the angels and the Spirit.

I call on you, O jinn, if you are hearing, obedient,

وَ أَدْعُوكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسُ إِلَى اللَّطِيفِ‏ الْخَبِيرِ

وَ أَزْجُرُ [وَ آخُذُ] عَنْ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ كُلَّمَا يَغْدُو وَ يَرُوحُ مِنْ ذِي حَيٍّ أَوْ عَقْرَبٍ أَوْ سَاحِرٍ أَوْ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ أَوْ سُلْطَانٍ عَنِيدٍ

 

Remove from so-and-so, son of so-and-so, every female jinn with a rebellious spirit, a jinn or demon or rebellious enchanter, or obstinate ruler or an accursed devil.

أَخَذْتُ عَنْهُ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى

 

Remove from so-and-so, which is seen and unseen;

وَ مَا رَأَتْ عَيْنُ نَائِمٍ أَوْ يَقْظَانٍ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ اللَّطِيفِ الْخَبِيرِ

 

seen by an eye, sleeping or awake, by the will of Allah, the Gracious, the All-knowing.

لَا سُلْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَى اللهِ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً
