Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem
Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.
((إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نُبَاحَ الْكِلاَبِ وَنَهِيقَ الْحَمِيرِ بِاللَّيْلِ فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُنَّ؛ فَإِنَّهُنَّ يَرَيْنَ مَا لاَ تَرَوْنَ)).
Idha sami'tum nubahal-kilabi wanaheeqal-hameeri bil-layli fata'awwadhoo billahi minhunn; fa innahunna yarayna ma la tarawn.
(If you hear the barking of dogs or the braying of asses at night, seek refuge in Allah for they see what you do not.)
