The mantra

ॐ प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः

oṃ prāṃ prīṃ prauṃ saḥ śanaiścarāya namaḥ

In English letters

Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaishcharaya Namaha

How to say it

Praam as in "prom" with a long aa. Preem rhymes with "preen". Praum is pr plus "ow" plus m. Shanaishcharaya is the long one: sha-nye-shcha-raa-ya. Take it slowly, the shcha is a single cluster.
