1.  *     Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High!
 
2.  *     Who creates, then makes complete,
 
3.  *     And Who measures, then guides,
 
4.  *     And Who brings forth herbage,
 
5.  *     Then makes it dried up, dust-coloured.
 
6.  *     We shall make thee recite so thou shalt not forget --
 
7.  *     Except what Allah please. Surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
 
8.  *     And We shall make thy way smooth to a state of ease.
 
9.  *     So remind, reminding indeed profits.
 
10.  *     He who fears will mind,
 
11.  *     And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
 
12.  *     Who will burn int he great Fire.
 
13.  *     Then therein he will neither live nor die.
 
14.  *     He indeed is successful who purifies himself,
 
15.  *     And remembers the name of his Lord, then prays.
 
16.  *     But, you prefer the life of this world,
 
17.  *     While the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
 
18.  *     Surely this is in the earlier scriptures
 
19.  *     The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
