[1] Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-
[2] Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:
[3] Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-
[4] He Who taught (the use of) the pen,-
[5] Taught man that which he knew not.
[6] Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds,
[7] In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient.
[8] Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).
[9] Seest thou one who forbids-
[10] A votary when he (turns) to pray?
[11] Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?-
[12] Or enjoins Righteousness?
[13] Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away?
[14] Knoweth he not that Allah doth see?
[15] Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
[16] A lying, sinful forelock!
[17] Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades):
[18] We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)!
[19] Nay, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)!
