In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful^R

¹ Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created-^R

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 Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds,^R

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 God doth see?

¹⁵ Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-

¹⁶ A lying, sinful forelock!^C

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 Nay, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer (to God)!^R
