Sabbihisma Rabbikal A'laa

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

Allazee khalaqa fasawwaa

Who created and proportioned

Wallazee qaddara fahadaa

And who destined and [then] guided

Wallazee akhrajal mar'aa

And who brings out the pasture

Faja'alahoo ghutha'an ahwaa

And [then] makes it black stubble.

Sanuqri'uka falaa tansaaa

We will make you recite, [O MuḼammad], and you will not forget,

Illaa maa shaa 'allaah; innahoo ya'lamul jahra wa maa yakhfaa

Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

Wa nu-yassiruka lilyusraa

And We will ease you toward ease.

Fazakkir in nafa'atizzikraa

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

Sa yazzakkaru may yakhshaa

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

Wa yatajannabuhal ashqaa

But the wretched one will avoid it

Allazee yaslan Naaral kubraa

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

Thumma laa yamootu feehaa wa laa yahyaa

Neither dying therein nor living.

Qad aflaha man tazakkaa

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

Wa zakaras ma Rabbihee fasallaa

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

Bal tu'siroonal hayaatad dunyaa

But you prefer the worldly life,

Wal Aakhiratu khairunw wa abqaa

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

Inna haazaa lafis suhu fil oolaa

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

Suhufi Ibraaheema wa Moosaa

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
