আল্লাযী খলাক্ব ফাসাওয়্যা-।
Who createth, then disposeth;
And Who has measured (preordainments for everything even to be blessed or wretched); and then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as the wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture).
অল্লাযী ক্বদ্দার ফাহাদা-।
Who measureth, then guideth;
And Who brings out the pasturage,

Except what Allah may will. He knows what is apparent and what is hidden.

Therefore remind (men) in case the reminder profits (them).

He will heed who feareth,
But it will be avoided by the wretched,
অইয়াতাজ্বান্নাবুহাল্ আশ্ক্বা

He who will be flung to the great Fire
There he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living).

Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islamic Monotheism) shall achieve success,

Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
অল্ আ-খিরতু খাইরুঁও ওয়া আব্ক্ব- ।
Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
