And the evil of evening darkness when it overspreads,
“And from the evil of the matter that darkens when it sets.”
from the evil of darkness when it gathers,
"and from the evil of the black darkness whenever it descends,
And from the evil of the darken when it cometh,
"And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away).
And from the evil of the darkness as it gathers.
from the evil of night's darkness when it spreads around;
"And from the evil of the Ghasiq when Waqab,"
From the evil of the darkness when it is intense,
and from the evil of the dark night when it falls,
from the evil of the darkness when it gathers
And from the evil of darkness when it settles
I seek His protection against the evil of the invading darkness,
And from the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes,
Wamin sharri gh<u>a</u>siqin i<u>tha</u> waqab<b>a</b>
from the evil of darkness as it descends,
From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads;
وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ
“And I seek refuge in Allah from the evils that appear in the night, i.e. harmful creatures and bandits.”
