1
READ, in the name of thy Lord!
2
Who created man from congealed blood!
3
Read, for thy Lord is most generous!
4
Who taught the pen!
5
Taught man what he did not know!
6
Nay, verily, man is indeed outrageous
7
at seeing himself get rich!
8
Verily, unto thy Lord is the return!
9
Hast thou considered him who forbids
10
a servant when he prays?
11
Hast thou considered if he were in guidance
12
or bade piety?
13
Hast thou considered if he said it was a lie, and turned his back?
14
Did he not know that God can see?
15
Nay, surely, if he do not desist we will drag him by the forelock!-
16
the lying sinful forelock!
17
So let him call his counsel:
18
we will call the guards of hell!
19
Nay, obey him not, but adore and draw nigh!
