| 1. * | Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created- |
| 2. * | Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: |
| 3. * | Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,- |
| 4. * | He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- |
| 5. * | Taught man that which he knew not. |
| 6. * | Day, but man doth transgress all bounds, |
| 7. * | In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient. |
| 8. * | Verily, to thy Lord is the return (of all). |
| 9. * | Seest thou one who forbids- |
| 10. * | A votary when he (turns) to pray? |
| 11. * | Seest thou if he is on (the road of) Guidance?- |
| 12. * | Or enjoins Righteousness? |
| 13. * | Seest thou if he denies (Truth) and turns away? |
| 14. * | Knoweth he not that Allah doth see? |
| 15. * | Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,- |
| 16. * | A lying, sinful forelock! |
| 17. * | Then, let him call (for help) to his council (of comrades): |
| 18. * | We will call on the angels of punishment (to deal with him)! |
| 19. * | Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to Allah)! |
