بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ اَلرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اِهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
bismi llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm. al-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbi l-ʿālamīn. ar-raḥmāni r-raḥīm. māliki yawmi d-dīn. iyyāka naʿbudu wa iyyāka nastaʿīn. ihdinā ṣ-ṣirāṭa l-mustaqīm. ṣirāṭa lladhīna anʿamta ʿalayhim ghayri l-maghḍūbi ʿalayhim wa lā ḍ-ḍāllīn
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgement. You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path: the path of those You have favoured, not of those who earned anger, nor of those who went astray.

Recited in every rakʿa; the prayer is invalid without it. اَلْحَمْدُ: definite article before a moon letter (the ل is pronounced), while اَلرَّحْمٰنِ، اَلدِّينِ، اَلصِّرَاطَ، اَلضَّالِّينَ all show sun letters; إِيَّاكَ is the detached object pronoun placed first for exclusivity: 'You alone'.
