The Daybreak
Say, ‘I seek the protection of the Lord of the daybreak
— Ali Quli Qarai
from the evil of what He has created,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and from the evil of the dark night when it falls,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and from the evil of the witches, who blow on knots,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and from the evil of the envious one when he envies.’
