Recite thou in the name of thy Lord Who hath created
Hath created man from a clot
Recite thou: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous
Who hath taught mankind by the pen
Hath taught man that which he knew not
By no means: Verily man exorbitateth
As he bethinkest himself selfsufficient
Verily Unto thy Lord is the return
Bethinkest thou him who forbiddeth
A bondman of Ours when he prayeth
Bethinkest thou, if he is himself guided
Or he commandeth piety
Bethinkest thou, if he belieth and turneth away
Knoweth he not that Allah beholdeth
By no means! If he desist not We shall seize and deal him by the forelock
A forelock, lying, sinning
Then, let him call his assembly
We also shall call the infernal guards
By no means! Obey not thou him. Continue to adore, and continue to draw nigh
