سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى (1)
Hallow thou the name of thine Lord, the Most High,
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ (2)
Who hath created and then proportioned,
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ (3)
And Who hath disposed and then guided,
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ (4)
And Who bringeth forth the pasturage,
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ (5)
Then maketh it to stubble dusky.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ (6)
We shall enable thee to recite, and then thou shalt not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ (7)
Save that which Allah may will. Verily He knoweth the public and that which is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ (8)
And We shall make easy Unto thee the easy way.
فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ (9)
Wherefore admonish thou; admonition hath surely profited,
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ (10)
Admonished is he indeed who feareth,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى (11)
And the wretched shunneth it-.
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ (12)
He Who shall roast into the Great Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ (13)
Wherein he shall neither die nor live,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ (14)
He indeed hath attained bliss who hath cleansed himself,
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ (15)
And who remembereth the name of his Lord, and then prayeth.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا (16)
But ye prefer the life of this world,
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ (17)
Whereas the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ (18)
Verily this is in Writs ancient
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ (19)
Writs of Ibrahim and Musa.
