Transliteration
dyā́vā no adyá pṛthivī́ anā́gaso mahī́ trā́yetāṁ suvitā́ya mā́tarā | uṣā́ ucchánty ápa bādhatām agháṁ svastí agníṁ samidhānám īmahe ||
Translation
لتَحْمِنا السماءُ والأرضُ اليوم—الأمّان العظيمتان اللتان لا عيب فيهما—للسير السعيد وللمضيّ القويم. ولْتَدْفَعِ الفجرُ، إذ يطلع، الشرَّ بعيدًا؛ ولأجل السلامة نلتمس أغني وهو يُوقَد في الداخل.
