اَلْخَالِقُ اَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوْقِيْنَ وَ الرَّازِقُ اَبْسَطُ يَدًا مِنَ الْمَرْزُوْقِيْنَ وَ نَارُ اللّٰهِ الْمُؤْصَدَةُ فِىْ عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ تَكِيْدُ اَفْئِدَةَ الْمَرَدَةِ وَ تَرُدُّ كَيْدَ الْحَسَدَةِ بِالْاَقْسَامِ بِالْاَحْكَامِ بِاللَّوْحِ الْمَحْفُوْظِ وَالْحِجَابِ الْمَضْرُوْبِ بِعَرْشِ رَبِّنَا الْعَظِيْمِ اِحْتَجَبْتُ وَاسْتَتَرْتُ وَاسْتَجَرْتُ وَ اعْتَصَمْتُ وَ تَحَصَّنْتُ بِالٓمٓ وَ بِكٓهٰيٰعٓصٓ وَ بِطٰهٰ وَ بِطٰسٓمٓ وَ بِحٰمٓ وَ بِحٰمٓعٓسٓقٓ وَ نٓ وَ بِطٰسٓ وَ بِقٓ وَالْقُرْاٰنِ الْمَجِيْدِ وَ اَنَّهٗ لَقَسَمٌ لَوْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ عَظِيْمٌ وَاللّٰهُ وَلِيّى وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ

The Creator is greater than the created; the Sustainer is more open-handed than those who are sustained; and the fire of Allah, sealed up in extended columns, torments the hearts of the rebellious and turns back the scheming of the envious — by the oaths, by the decrees, by the Preserved Tablet and the veil raised at the Throne of our Mighty Lord, have I taken shelter, sought concealment, sought refuge, held fast, and fortified myself with Alif Lam Meem, and with Kaf Ha Ya 'Ayn Sad, and with Ta Ha, and with Ta Seen Meem, and with Ha Meem, and with Ha Meem 'Ayn Seen Qaf, and with Noon, and with Ta Seen, and with Qaf, and the Glorious Qur'an — verily it is a mighty oath, if you but knew; and Allah is my Guardian, and how excellent a Guardian He is.
