بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
Sabbihisma Rabbikal A'laa
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who created and proportioned
Allazee khalaqa fasawwaa
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And who destined and [then] guided
Wallazee qaddara fahadaa
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
And who brings out the pasture
Wallazeee akhrajal mar'aa
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ
And [then] makes it black stubble.
Faja'alahoo ghusaaa'an ahwaa
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
Sanuqri'uka falaa tansaaa
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
Illaa maa shaaa'al laah; innahoo ya'lamul jahra wa maa yakhfaa
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And We will ease you toward ease.
Wa nu-yassiruka lilyusraa
فَذَكِّرْ إِنْ نَفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
Fazakkir in nafa'atizzikraa
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَنْ يَخْشَىٰ
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
Sa yazzakkaru maiyakhshaa
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
But the wretched one will avoid it -
Wa yatajannabuhal ashqaa
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
Allazee yaslan Naaral kubraa
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Neither dying therein nor living.
Summa laa yamootu feehaa wa laa yahyaa
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
Qad aflaha man tazakkaa
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
Wa zakaras ma Rabbihee fasallaa
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
But you prefer the worldly life,
Bal tu'siroonal hayaatad dunyaa
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
Wal Aakhiratu khairunw wa abqaa
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
Inna haazaa lafis suhu fil oolaa
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
