1 READ IN THE name of your Lord who created, اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ
2 Created man from an embryo; خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
3 Read, for your Lord is most beneficent, اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ
4 Who taught by the pen, الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ
5 Taught man what he did not know. عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
6 And yet, but yet man is rebellious, كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَى
7 For he thinks he is sufficient in himself. أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَى
8 Surely your returning is to your Lord. إِنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَى
9 Have you seen him who restrains أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَى
10 A votary when he turns to his devotions? عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى
11 Have you thought, if he had been on guidance أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى
12 Or had enjoined piety, (it would have been better)? أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَى
13 Have you thought that if he denies and turns away, أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
14 Does he not know that God sees? أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَى
15 And yet indeed if he does not desist We shall drag him by the forelock, كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ
16 By the lying, the sinful forelock. نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
17 So let him call his associates, فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَه
18 We shall call the guards of Hell. سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ
19 Beware! Do not obey him, but bow in adoration and draw near (to your Lord). كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ
