मो षु णः॑ सोम मृ॒त्यवे॒ परा॑ दाः॒ पश्ये॑म॒ नु सूर्य॑मु॒च्चर॑न्तम् । द्युभि॑र्हि॒तो ज॑रि॒मा सू नो॑ अस्तु परात॒रं सु निरृ॑तिर्जिहीताम्
mo ṣu ṇaḥ soma mṛtyave parā dāḥ paśyema nu sūryamuccarantam dyubhirhito jarimā sū no astu parātaraṃ su nirṛtirjihītām
O Soma, let us behold death’s guardians afar; may we see the sun ascending. May the radiant purifier be auspicious for us; may it be for our welfare.
Give us not up, Soma, to death; may we (long) behold the rising sun; may our old age brought on by(passing) days be happy; may Nirṛti depart far off.
Give us not up as prey to death, O Sorna still let us look upon the Sun arising. Let our old age with passing days be kindly. Let Nirrti depart to distant places.
