وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
Wallazeee akhrajal mar'aa
Who bringeth forth the pasturage,
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ

We shall make thee read (O Muhammad) so that thou shalt not forget

Illaa maa shaaa'al laah; innahoo ya'lamul jahra wa maa yakhfaa
Save that which Allah willeth. Lo! He knoweth the disclosed and that which still is hidden;
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

And We shall ease thy way unto the state of ease.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

He will heed who feareth,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Wa yatajannabuhal ashqaa
But the most hapless will flout it,
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Allazee yaslan Naaral kubraa
He who will be flung to the great Fire
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

He is successful who groweth,
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Wa zakaras ma Rabbihee fasallaa
And remembereth the name of his Lord, so prayeth,
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Bal tu'siroonal hayaatad dunyaa
But ye prefer the life of the world
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

Although the Hereafter is better and more lasting.
