In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ١ i

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High, (1)

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٢ i

Who created and proportioned (2)

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ٣ i

And who destined and [then] guided (3)

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ ٤ i

And who brings out the pasture (4)

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ ٥ i

And [then] makes it black stubble. (5)

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ ٦ i

We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget, (6)

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ٧ i

Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden. (7)

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ٨ i

And We will ease you toward ease. (8)

فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ ٩ i

So remind, if the reminder should benefit; (9)

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ ١٠ i

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded. (10)

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ١١ i

But the wretched one will avoid it - (11)

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ ١٢ i

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire, (12)

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ١٣ i

Neither dying therein nor living. (13)

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ ١٤ i

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself (14)

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ ١٥ i

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays. (15)

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ١٦ i

But you prefer the worldly life, (16)

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ١٧ i

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring. (17)

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ ١٨ i

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures, (18)

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ١٩ i

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses. (19)
