1.  *     Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High,
 
2.  *     Who createth, then disposeth;
 
3.  *     Who measureth, then guideth;
 
4.  *     Who bringeth forth the pasturage,
 
5.  *     Then turneth it to russet stubble.
 
6.  *     We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget
 
7.  *     Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden;
 
8.  *     And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.
 
9.  *     Therefor remind (men), for of use is the reminder.
 
10.  *     He will heed who feareth,
 
11.  *     But the most hapless will flout it,
 
12.  *     He who will be flung to the great Fire
 
13.  *     Wherein he will neither die nor live.
 
14.  *     He is successful who groweth,
 
15.  *     And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,
 
16.  *     But ye prefer the life of the world
 
17.  *     Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
 
18.  *     Lo! This is in the former scrolls.
 
19.  *     The Books of Abraham and Moses.
