In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem
Glorify thou the name of thy Lord, the Most High,
Sabbihi isma rabbika al-aAAla
And who brought forth the pasture
Wallathee akhraja almarAAa
Then made it blackening decaying herbage
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
(We will make thee recite, and thou wilt not forget.)
Sanuqri-oka fala tansa
Save that God should will; He knows the apparent and the hidden.
Illa ma shaa Allahuinnahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
So remind thou; if the reminder should benefit
Fathakkir in nafaAAati aththikra
Who will burn in the Great Fire,
Allathee yasla annaraalkubra
Then will he neither die therein nor live.
Thumma la yamootu feeha walayahya
He is successful who has purified himself,
Qad aflaha man tazakka
And remembers the name of his Lord and performs the duty.
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
The truth is, you prefer the life of this world
Bal tu/thiroona alhayata addunya
When the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
Wal-akhiratu khayrun waabqa
This is in the former scriptures,
Inna hatha lafee assuhufial-oola
