1 | Magnify the Name of thy Lord the Most High | |
2 | who created and shaped, | |
3 | who determined and guided, | |
4 | who brought forth the pasturage | |
5 | then made it a blackening wrack. | |
6 | We shall make thee recite, to forget not | |
7 | save what God wills; surely He knows what is spoken aloud and what is hidden. | |
8 | We shall ease thee unto the Easing. | |
9 | Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, | |
10 | and he who fears shall remember, | |
11 | but the most wretched shall flout it, | |
12 | even he who shall roast in the Great Fire, | |
13 | then he shall neither die therein, nor live. | |
14 | Prosperous is he who has cleansed himself, | |
15 | and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays. | |
16 | Nay, but you prefer the present life; | |
17 | and the world to come is better, and more enduring. | |
18 | Surely this is in the ancient scrolls, | |
19 | the scrolls of Abraham and Moses. |
