There are several Shiva panchakshari stotras composed by various saints. This panchakshari stotra, composed by Sri Adi Shankaracharya, is based on the moolamantra of Lord Shiva "Namashivaya". Each stanza starts with one of the five syllables, na, ma, shi, va, and ya.

Nityaya Shuddhaya Digambaraya
Tasmai Nakaraya Namah Shivaya .. 1

Salutations to Shiva, who wears the king of snakes as a garland, the three-eyed god, whose body is smeared with ashes, the great lord, the eternal and pure one, who wears the directions as his garment, and who is represented by the syllable ``na ''

Nandishvara pramathanatha Maheshvaraya

I bow to Shiva, who has been worshipped with water from the Ganga (Mandakini) and anointed with sandalwood paste, the lord of Nandi, the lord of the host of goblins and ghosts, the great lord, who is worshiped with Mandara and many other kinds of flowers, and who is represented by the syllable ``ma.

Tasmai Yakaraya Namah Shivaya .. 5

salutations to Shiva, who bears the form of a Yaksha, who has matted hair on his head, who bears the Pinaka bow in his hand, the primeval lord, the brilliant god, who is digambara (naked), and who is represented by the syllable ``ya. ''

For those who prefers in Sanskrit ...

Heres what I found on the net for my search for Shiva PanchAksharam -- http://www.dlshq.org/download/download.htm
The site gives a brief description of all Hindu gods / goddesses alongwith meaning of various symbols and common mantras for them, including Shiva PanchAkharam.

If anyone is able to find Shiva PanchAksharam in the http://sanskrit.gde.to site, do let me know.

Thanks

Added --- only Shiva Panchaksharam from http://sanskrit.gde.to Phew !
