رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَـٰرِقِ
the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them, and the Sustainer of all the points of sunrise!

دُحُورࣰاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ وَاصِبٌ
cast out [from all grace], with lasting suffering in store for them [in the life to come];

but if anyone does succeed in snatching a glimpse [of such knowledge], he is [henceforth] pursued by a piercing flame.
