| خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ {٢} |
2. Read and thy Lord is most Generous, |
| اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ {٣} |
3. Who taught by the pen, |
| الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ {٤} |
4. Taught man what he knew not. |
| عَلَّمَ الْإِنْسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ {٥} |
5. Nay, man is surely inordinate, |
| كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ {٦} |
6. Because he looks upon himself as self-sufficient. |
| أَنْ رَآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ {٧} |

| أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ {٩} |
9. A servant when he prays? |
| عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ {١٠} |
10. Seest thou is he is on the right way, |
| أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ {١١} |
11. Or enjoins observance of duty? |
| أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ {١٢} |
12. Seest thou if he denies and turns away? |
| أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ {١٣} |
13. Knows he not that Allah sees? |
| أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ {١٤} |
14. Nay, if he desist not, We will seize him by the forelock -- |
| كَلَّا لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ {١٥} |
15. A lying, sinful forelock! |
| نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ {١٦} |
16. Then let him summon his council, |
| فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ {١٧} |
17. We will summon the braves of the army. |
| سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ {١٨} |
18. Nay! Obey him not, but prostrate thyself, and draw nigh (to Allah). |
| كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ ۩ {١٩} |
19. Surely We revealed it on the Night of Majesty -- |
