EXTOL the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's name: [the glory of] the Al-Highest,
2
ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
who creates [every thing], and thereupon forms it in accordance with what it is meant to be,
3
وَٱلَّذِی قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
and who determines the nature [of all that exists], and thereupon guides it [towards its fulfilment],
4
وَٱلَّذِیۤ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ
and who brings forth herbage,
5
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَاۤءً أَحۡوَىٰ

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰۤ
WE SHALL teach thee, and thou wilt not forget [aught of what thou art taught],

إِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ یَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا یَخۡفَىٰ
save what God may will [thee to forget] - for, verily, He [alone] knows all that is open to [man's] perception as well as all that is hidden [from it]
8
وَنُیَسِّرُكَ لِلۡیُسۡرَىٰ
and [thus] shall We make easy for thee the path towards [ultimate] ease.
9
فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ
REMIND, THEN, [others of the truth, regardless of] whether this reminding [would seem to] be of use [or not]:
10
سَیَذَّكَّرُ مَن یَخۡشَىٰ
in mind will keep it he who stands in awe [of God],
