ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ
"Recite in the name of your Lord who created -"
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
"Created man from a clinging substance."
ٱqْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ
"Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -"
ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ
"Who taught by the pen -"
عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
"Taught man that which he knew not."
كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ
"No! [But] indeed, man transgresses"
أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ
"Because he sees himself self-sufficient."
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ
"Indeed, to your Lord is the return."
أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ
"Have you seen the one who forbids"
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ
"A servant when he prays?"
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ
"Have you seen if he is upon guidance"
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ
"Or enjoins righteousness?"
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّbَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
"Have you seen if he denies and turns away -"
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ
"Does he not know that Allah sees?"
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ
"No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -"
نَاصِيَةٍۢ كَـٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍۢ
"A lying, sinning forelock."
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ
"Then let him call his associates;"
سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّbَانِيَةَ
"We will call the angels of Hell."
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱqْتَرِب ۩
"No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah]."
