शं नो॑ भव हृ॒द आ पी॒त इ॑न्दो पि॒तेव॑ सोम सू॒नवे॑ सु॒शेवः॑ । सखे॑व॒ सख्य॑ उरुशंस॒ धीरः॒ प्र ण॒ आयु॑र्जी॒वसे॑ सोम तारीः
śaṃ no bhava hṛda ā pīta indo piteva soma sūnave suśevaḥ sakheva sakhya uruśaṃsa dhīraḥ pra ṇa āyurjīvase soma tārīḥ
May we be auspicious, may Indra pour forth in our hearts like the father pours soma; friendly, gracious, mighty, resolute: may Soma grant long life and keep us alive.
O soma, drunk by us, be bliss to our hearts, as a father is indulgent to a son or a friend to a friend; OSoma, worthy of wide praise, do you, wise one, extend our years that we may live.
Absorbed into the heart, be sweet, O Indu, as a kind father to his son, O Soma, As a wise Friend to friend: do thou, wide-ruler, O Soma, lengthen out our days for living.
