Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High, (Al-A'la 87:1)
سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى
Al-Ladhī Khalaqa Fasawwá
Who has created (everything), and then proportioned it; (Al-A'la 87:2)
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّى
Wa Al-Ladhī Qaddara Fahadá
And Who has measured (preordainments for each and everything even to be blessed or wretched); then guided (i.e. showed mankind the right as well as wrong paths, and guided the animals to pasture); (Al-A'la 87:3)
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَى
Wa Al-Ladhī 'Akhraja Al-Mar`á
And Who brings out the pasturage, (Al-A'la 87:4)
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَى
Faja`alahu Ghuthā'an 'Aĥwá
And then makes it dark stubble. (Al-A'la 87:5)
فَجَعَلَهُغُثَاءً أَحْوَى
Sanuqri'uka Falā Tansá
We shall make you to recite (the Qur'ān), so you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) shall not forget (it), (Al-A'la 87:6)
Wherein he will neither die (to be in rest) nor live (a good living). (Al-A'la 87:13)
ثُمَّ لاَ يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلاَ يَحْيَا
Qad 'Aflaĥa Man Tazakká
Indeed whosoever purifies himself (by avoiding polytheism and accepting Islāmic Monotheism) shall achieve success, (Al-A'la 87:14)
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى
Wa DhakaraAsma Rabbihi Faşallá
And remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord (worships none but Allāh), and prays (five compulsory prayers and Nawāfil additional prayers). (Al-A'la 87:15)
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى
Bal Tu'uthirūna Al-Ĥayāata Ad-Dunyā
Nay, you prefer the life of this world; (Al-A'la 87:16)
