Glorify your Lord, the Most High
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى ١ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٢ وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ٣
The meaning, simply
Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, above every flaw. He created everything and made it perfectly, measured for each creature what suits it, and guided it there.
