1 Waalnnajmi itha hawa

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Star when it setteth,

2 Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa

2 Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;

3 Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa

3 Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.

4 In huwa illa wahyun yooha

4 It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,

5 AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa

5 Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,

6 Thoo mirratin faistawa

6 One vigorous; and he grew clear to view

7 Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla

7 When he was on the uppermost horizon.

8 Thumma dana fatadalla

8 Then he drew nigh and came down

9 Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna

9 Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer,

10 Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha

10 And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.

11 Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa

11 The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw.

12 Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara

12 Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth ?

13 Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra

13 And verily he saw him yet another time

14 AAinda sidrati almuntaha

14 By the lote - tree of the utmost boundary,

15 AAindaha jannatu almawa

15 Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.

16 Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha

16 When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote - tree,

17 Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha

17 The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.

18 Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra

18 Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.

19 Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza

19 Have ye thought upon Al - Lat and Al - 'Uzza

20 Wamanata alththalithata alokhra

20 And Manat, the third, the other ?

21 Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha

21 Are yours the males and His the females ?

22 Tilka ithan qismatun deeza

22 That indeed were an unfair division!

23 In hiya illa asmaon sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wama tahwa alanfusu walaqad jaahum min rabbihimu alhuda

23 They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them.

24 Am lilinsani ma tamanna

24 Or shall man have what he coveteth ?

25 Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola

25 But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former.

26 Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda

26 And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth.

27 Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha

27 Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females.

28 Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan

28 And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.

29 FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya

29 Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.

30 Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada

30 Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right.

31 Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna

31 And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness.

32 Allatheena yajtaniboona kabaira alithmi waalfawahisha illa allamama inna rabbaka wasiAAu almaghfirati huwa aAAlamu bikum ith anshaakum mina alardi waith antum ajinnatun fee butooni ommahatikum fala tuzakkoo anfusakum huwa aAAlamu bimani ittaqa

32 Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil).

33 Afaraayta allathee tawalla

33 Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away,

34 WaaAAta qaleelan waakda

34 And gave a little, then was grudging ?

35 aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara

35 Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth ?

36 Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa

36 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses

37 Waibraheema allathee waffa

37 And Abraham who paid his debt:

38 Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra

38 That no laden one shall bear another's load,

39 Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa

39 And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,

40 Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura

40 And that his effort will be seen.

41 Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

41 And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment;

42 Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha

42 And that thy Lord, He is the goal;

43 Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka

43 And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep,

44 Waannahu huwa amata waahya

44 And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life;

45 Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

45 And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female,

46 Min nutfatin itha tumna

46 From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth;

47 Waanna AAalayhi alnnashata alokhra

47 And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth;

48 Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna

48 And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth;

49 Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiAAra

49 And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius;

50 Waannahu ahlaka AAadan aloola

50 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad,

51 Wathamooda fama abqa

51 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not;

52 Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha

52 And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious;

53 Waalmutafikata ahwa

53 And Al - Mu'tafikah He destroyed

54 Faghashshaha ma ghashsha

54 So that there covered them that which did cover.

55 Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara

55 Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute ?

56 Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola

56 This is a warner of the warners of old.

57 Azifati alazifatu

57 The threatened Hour is nigh.

58 Laysa laha min dooni Allahi kashifatun

58 None beside Allah can disclose it.

59 Afamin hatha alhadeethi taAAjaboona

59 Marvel ye then at this statement,

60 Watadhakoona wala tabkoona

60 And laugh and not weep,

61 Waantum samidoona

61 While ye amuse yourselves ?

62 Faosjudoo lillahi waoAAbudoo

62 Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him.
