English translation

1Praise the name of your Lord, the Most High.

2He who creates and regulates.

3He who measures and guides.

4He who produces the pasture.

5And then turns it into light debris.

6We will make you read, so do not forget.

7Except what Allah wills. He knows what is declared, and what is hidden.

8We will ease you into the Easy Way.

9So remind, if reminding helps.

10The reverent will remember.

11But the wretched will avoid it.

12He who will enter the Gigantic Fire.

13Where he will neither die, nor live.

14Successful is he who purifies himself.

15And mentions the name of his Lord, and prays.

16But you prefer the present life.

17Though the Hereafter is better, and more lasting.

18This is in the former scriptures.

19The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
