[1] Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
[2] Who creates, then makes complete,
[3] And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
[4] And Who brings forth herbage,
[5] Then makes it dried up, dust-colored.
[6] We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
[7] Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
[8] And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
[9] Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
[10] He who fears will mind,
[11] And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
[12] Who shall enter the great fire;
[13] Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
[14] He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,
[15] And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
[16] Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
[17] While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
[18] Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
[19] The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
