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].
