بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِیمِ
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MERCIFUL, THE COMPASSIONATE
اقْرَأْ بِسْمِ رَبِّکَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ 1
1- READ IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD WHO CREATED,
خَلَقَ الاِْنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ 2
2- HE CREATED MAN FROM A CLOT,
اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّکَ الاْاکْرَمُ3
3- READ AND YOUR LORD IS THE MOST HONORABLE,
الَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ4
4- WHO TAUGHT (TO WRITE) WITH THE PEN,
عَلَّمَ الاِْنسَانَ مَا لَمْ یَعْلَمْ 5
5- HE TAUGHT MAN WHAT HE KNEW NOT,
کَلاَّ إِنَّ الاِْنسَانَ لَیَطْغَى6
6- NAY, BUT VERILY MAN IS INSUBORDINATE,
أَنْ رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَى 7
7- BECAUSE HE SEES HIMSELF FREE FROM WANT,
إِنَّ إِلَى رَبِّکَ الرُّجْعَى 8
8- VERILY TO YOUR LORD IS THE RETURN (OF ALL),
أَرَأَیْتَ الَّذِى یَنْهَى9
9- HAVE YOU SEEN HIM WHO FORBIDS,
عَبْدآ إِذَا صَلَّى10
10- A SERVANT WHEN HE PRAYS?
أَرَأَیْتَ إِنْ کَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى 11
11- HAVE YOU CONSIDERED IF HE WERE ON (THE WAY OF)GUIDANCE?
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَى 12
12- OR ENJOINED TO VIRTUE (AND PIETY)?
أَرَأَیْتَ إِنْ کَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى13
13- HAVE YOU CONSIDERED IF HE DENIES (THE TRUTH) AND TURNS (HIS) BACK?
أَلَمْ یَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللهَ یَرَى 14
14- DOES HE NOT KNOW THAT ALLAH DOES SEE?
کَلاَّ لَئِنْ لَّمْ یَنْتَهِ لَنَسْفَعَ بِالنَّاصِیَةِ15
15- LET HIM BEWARE! IF HE DESISTS NOT WE WILL DRAG HIM BY THE FOREHEAD,
نَاصِیَةٍ کَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ16
16- A LYING, SINFUL FOREHEAD,
فَلْیَدْعُ نَادِیَهُ 17
17- THEN, LET HIM CALL (FOR HELP),
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِیَةَ18
18- SOON WE WILL CALL THE GUARDS OF HELL,
کَلاَّ لاَ تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ19
19- NAY! OBEY HIM NOT, BUT PROSTRATE AND APPROACH (ALLAH).
