Gurmukhi - The Punjabi Alphabet

[Kiranjot]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. There is a Paath that you do before you leave home and go out anywhere, Its very short. When recite this Paath you will be safe when you are out and wont be in any danger. Does anyone know the name of this Paath and what you have to recite? I believe it starts off "Aad Aaminay, Jugaad Aminay, Satguru Aaminay..." I cannot remember the rest though, so please write the full recitation for me please. Thanks.
