আল আলাক (শক্তভাবে আঁটকানো বস্তু)

1 Recite in the name of your Lord who created -

1 Iqra biismi rabbika allathee khalaqa

2 Created man from a clinging substance.

2 Khalaqa alinsana min AAalaqin

3 Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -

3 Iqra warabbuka alakramu

4 Who taught by the pen -

4 Allathee AAallama bialqalami

5 Taught man that which he knew not.

5 AAallama alinsana ma lam yaAAlam

6 No! [But] indeed, man transgresses

6 Kalla inna alinsana layatgha

7 Because he sees himself self - sufficient.

7 An raahu istaghna

8 Indeed, to your Lord is the return.

8 Inna ila rabbika alrrujAAa

9 Have you seen the one who forbids

9 Araayta allathee yanha

10 A servant when he prays?

10 AAabdan itha salla

11 Have you seen if he is upon guidance

11 Araayta in kana AAala alhuda

12 Or enjoins righteousness?

12 Aw amara bialttaqwa

13 Have you seen if he denies and turns away -

13 Araayta in kaththaba watawalla

14 Does he not know that Allah sees?

14 Alam yaAAlam bianna Allaha yara

15 No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -

15 Kalla lain lam yantahi lanasfaAAan bialnnasiyati

16 A lying, sinning forelock.

16 Nasiyatin kathibatin khatiatin

17 Then let him call his associates;

17 FalyadAAu nadiyahu

18 We will call the angels of Hell.

18 SanadAAu alzzabaniyata

19 No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].

19 Kalla la tutiAAhu waosjud waiqtarib
