The lyrics of the Sloka is below : 

स्फुरत्सहस्रारशिखातितीव्रं सुदर्शनं भास्करकोटितुल्यम् ।

    सुरद्विषां प्राणविनाशि विष्णोःचक्रं सदाहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ १ ॥

विष्णोर्मुखोत्थानिलपूरितस्य यस्य ध्वनिर्दानवदर्पहन्ता ।

तं पाञ्चजन्यं शशिकोटिशुभ्रं शङ्खं सदाहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ २ ॥

हिरण्मयीं मेरुसमानसारां कौमोदकीं दैत्यकुलैकहन्त्रीम् ।

वैकुण्ठवामाग्रकराग्रमृष्टां गदां सदाहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ ३ ॥

यज्ज्यानिनादश्रवणात्सुराणां चेतांसि निर्मुक्तभयानि सद्यः ।

भवन्ति दैत्याशनिबाणवर्षैः शार्ङ्गं सदाहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ ४ ॥

रक्षोऽसुराणां कठिनोग्रकण्ठ- -च्छेदक्षरत्‍क्षोणित दिग्धसारम् ।

तं नन्दकं नाम हरेः प्रदीप्तं खड्गं सदाहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥ ५ ॥

इमं हरेः पञ्चमहायुधानां स्तवं पठेद्योऽनुदिनं प्रभाते ।

समस्त दुःखानि भयानि सद्यः पापानि नश्यन्ति सुखानि सन्ति ॥ ६ ॥

वने रणे शत्रु जलाग्निमध्ये यदृच्छयापत्सु महाभयेषु ।

पठेत्विदं स्तोत्रमनाकुलात्मा सुखीभवेत्तत्कृत सर्वरक्षः ॥ ७ ॥

श्रियासमेतोज्ज्वलशोभिताङ्गं विष्णुं सदाऽहं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥

जले रक्षतु वाराहः स्थले रक्षतु वामनः ।

अटव्यां नारसिंहश्क्ष्च सर्वतः पातु केशवः ॥

इति पंचायुध स्तोत्रम् ॥
