Note 237 — TALE OF KAMAR AL-ZAMAN,
Richard Francis Burton translation
The Chapters are: 2, 3, 36, 55, 67 and the two last ("Daybreak" cxiii. and "Men" cxiv.), which are called Al-Mu'izzatáni (vulgar Al-Mu'izzatayn), the "Two Refuge-takings or Preventives," because they obviate enchantment. I have translated the two latter as follows:—
"Say:—Refuge I take with the Lord of the Daybreak ✿ from mischief of what He did make ✿ from mischief of moon eclipse-showing ✿ and from mischief of witches on cord-knots blowing ✿ and from mischief of envier when envying."
"Say:—Refuge I take with the Lord of men ✿ the sovran of men ✿ the God of men ✿ from the Tempter, the Demon ✿ who tempteth in whisper the breasts of men ✿ and from Jinnis and (evil) men."
