سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ١ i

Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, (1)

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٢ i

Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion; (2)

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ٣ i

Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance; (3)

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ ٤ i

And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture, (4)

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ ٥ i

And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble. (5)

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ ٦ i

By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, (6)

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ٧ i

Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden. (7)

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ٨ i

And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path). (8)

فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ ٩ i

Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer). (9)

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ ١٠ i

The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah): (10)

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ١١ i

But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones, (11)

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ ١٢ i

Who will enter the Great Fire, (12)

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ١٣ i

In which they will then neither die nor live. (13)

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ ١٤ i

But those will prosper who purify themselves, (14)

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ ١٥ i

And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer. (15)

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ١٦ i

Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world; (16)

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ١٧ i

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

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ ١٨ i

And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),- (18)

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ١٩ i

The Books of Abraham and Moses. (19)
