بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُو۟لِىٓ أَجْنِحَةٍۢ مَّثْنَىٰ وَثُلَٰثَ وَرُبَٰعَ ۚ يَزِيدُ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ

سب تعریف خدا ہی کو (سزاوار ہے) جو آسمانوں اور زمین کا پیدا کرنے والا (اور) فرشتوں کو قاصد بنانے والا ہے جن کے دو دو اور تین تین اور چار چار پر ہیں۔ وہ (اپنی) مخلوقات میں جو چاہتا ہے بڑھاتا ہے۔ بےشک خدا ہر چیز پر قادر ہے

Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two, three and four. He multiplieth in creation what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
