بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الرَّحْمَٰنُ

The All-merciful

عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ

has taught the Koran.

خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ

الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ

وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ

and the stars and the trees bow themselves;

وَالسَّمَاءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ

and heaven -- He raised it up, and set the Balance.

أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ

(Transgress not in the Balance,

وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ

and weigh with justice, and skimp not in the Balance.)

وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ
