بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى1
[Prophet], glorify the name of your Lord the Most High
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ2
who created [all things] in due proportion
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ3
who determined their destinies and guided them
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ4
who brought out the green pasture
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ5
then made it dark debris
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ6
[Prophet], We shall teach you [the Quran] and you will not forget––
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ7
unless God wishes; He knows both what is open and what is hidden––
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ8
We shall show you the easy way
فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ9
So remind, if reminding will help
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ10
Those who stand in awe of God will heed the reminder
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى11
but it will be ignored by the most wicked
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ12
who will enter the Great Fire
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ13
where they will neither die nor live
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ14
Prosperous are those who purify themselves
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ15
remember the name of their Lord, and pray
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا16
Yet you [people] prefer the life of this world
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ17
even though the Hereafter is better and more lasting
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ18
All this is in the earlier scriptures
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ19
the scriptures of Abraham and Moses
