1.  *     Read in the name of your Lord who has created.
 
2.  *     He created man from a clot.
 
3.  *     Read, and your Lord is the Generous One.
 
4.  *     The One who taught by the pen.
 
5.  *     He taught man what he did not know.
 
6.  *     Alas, man is bound to transgress.
 
7.  *     When he achieves, he has no need.
 
8.  *     To your Lord is the return.
 
9.  *     Have you seen the one who deters
 
10.  *     A servant from reaching out?
 
11.  *     Have you seen if he was being guided,
 
12.  *     Or he ordered righteousness?
 
13.  *     Have you seen if he lied and turned away?
 
14.  *     Did he not know that God can see?
 
15.  *     Alas, if he does not cease, We will strike the frontal lobe.
 
16.  *     A frontal lobe which lies and errs.
 
17.  *     So let him call on his supporter.
 
18.  *     We will call on the guardians.
 
19.  *     Alas, do not obey him, prostrate and come near.
