 |
Magnify the Name of thy Lord the Most High |
 |
who created and shaped, |
 |
who determined and guided, |
 |
who brought forth the pasturage |
 |
then made it a blackening wrack. |
 |
We shall make thee recite, to forget not |
 |
save what God wills; surely He knows what is spoken aloud and what is hidden. |
 |
We shall ease thee unto the Easing. |
 |
Therefore remind, if the Reminder profits, |
 |
and he who fears shall remember, |
 |
but the most wretched shall flout it, |
 |
even he who shall roast in the Great Fire, |
 |
then he shall neither die therein, nor live. |
 |
Prosperous is he who has cleansed himself, |
 |
and mentions the Name of his Lord, and prays. |
