يَا زَكَ رِىّ يَآ اِنَّا
اِنّ نَا نُبَشِّرُكَ
نُ بَشّ شِ رُ كَ بِغُلٰمِ
بِ غُ لَا مِ سْمُهٗ
نِسْ مُ هُوْ یَحْیٰی ۙ
يَحْ يَا لَمْ
لَمۡ نَجْعَلْ
نَجْ عَلّ لَّهٗ
لَ هُوْ مِنْ
مِنۡ قَبْلُ
قَبۡ لُ سَمِیًّا
سَ مِىّ يَا

[He was told],1 "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."
