Read, in the name of your Lord who created.

خَلَقَ الإِنسانَ مِن عَلَقٍ

Created man from a clinging clot.

الَّذي عَلَّمَ بِالقَلَمِ

He who taught by the pen.

عَلَّمَ الإِنسانَ ما لَم يَعلَم

Taught man what he knew not.

كَلّا إِنَّ الإِنسانَ لَيَطغىٰ

Indeed, man transgresses.

أَن رَآهُ استَغنىٰ

When he sees himself as self-sufficient.

إِنَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجعىٰ

Yet, to your Lord is the return.
