بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الرَّحْمَٰنُ

The Beneficent

عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ

Hath made known the Qur'an.

خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ

He hath created man.

عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ

الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ

وَالسَّمَاءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ

And the sky He hath uplifted; and He hath set the measure,

أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ

وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ

And the earth hath He appointed for (His) creatures,

فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَالنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ الْأَكْمَامِ
