Al Buruj

1 I swear by the mansions of the stars,

1 Waalssamai thati alburooji

2 And the promised day,

2 Waalyawmi almawAAoodi

3 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne.

3 Washahidin wamashhoodin

4 Cursed be the makers of the pit,

4 Qutila ashabu alukhdoodi

5 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel,

5 Alnnari thati alwaqoodi

6 When they sat by it,

6 Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun

7 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers.

7 Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmumineena shuhoodun

8 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised,

8 Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yuminoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi

9 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things.

9 Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi waAllahu AAala kulli shayin shaheedun

10 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning.

10 Inna allatheena fatanoo almumineena waalmuminati thumma lam yatooboo falahum AAathabu jahannama walahum AAathabu alhareeqi

11 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement.

11 Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu thalika alfawzu alkabeeru

12 Surely the might of your Lord is great.

12 Inna batsha rabbika lashadeedun

13 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces,

13 Innahu huwa yubdio wayuAAeedu

14 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,

14 Wahuwa alghafooru alwadoodu

15 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious,

15 Thoo alAAarshi almajeedi

16 The great doer of what He will.

16 FaAAAAalun lima yureedu

17 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts,

17 Hal ataka hadeethu aljunoodi

18 Of Firon and Samood?

18 FirAAawna wathamooda

19 Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth.

19 Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheebin

20 And Allah encompasses them on every side.

20 WaAllahu min waraihim muheetun

21 Nay! it is a glorious Quran,

21 Bal huwa quranun majeedun

22 In a guarded tablet.

22 Fee lawhin mahfoothin
