English - Yusuf Ali
Surah Al-'alaq ( The Clot ) - Aya count 19
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ 
( 1 ) 
Recite in the name of your Lord who created -
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ 
( 2 ) 
Created man from a clinging substance.
اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ 
( 3 ) 
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -
الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ 
( 4 ) 
Who taught by the pen -
عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ 
( 5 ) 
Taught man that which he knew not.
كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ 
( 6 ) 
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ 
( 7 ) 
Because he sees himself self-sufficient.
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ 
( 8 ) 
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَىٰ 
( 9 ) 
Have you seen the one who forbids
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰ 
( 10 ) 
A servant when he prays?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَىٰ 
( 11 ) 
Have you seen if he is upon guidance
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَىٰ 
( 12 ) 
Or enjoins righteousness?
أَرَأَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ 
( 13 ) 
Have you seen if he denies and turns away -
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ 
( 14 ) 
Does he not know that Allah sees?
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ 
( 15 ) 
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -
نَاصِيَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ 
( 16 ) 
A lying, sinning forelock.
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُ 
( 17 ) 
Then let him call his associates;
سَنَدْعُ الزَّبَانِيَةَ 
( 18 ) 
We will call the angels of Hell.
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِب ۩ 
( 19 ) 
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
