والملك على أرجائها ۚ ويحمل عرش ربك فوقهم يومئذ ثمانية
Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun

ثم في سلسلة ذرعها سبعون ذراعا فاسلكوه
Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi

إنه كان لا يؤمن بالله العظيم
Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni
And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.
ولا يحض على طعام المسكين
Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun
Therefor hath he no lover here this day,
فليس له اليوم هاهنا حميم
Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin
Nor any food save filth
ولا طعام إلا من غسلين
La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona
Which none but sinners eat.
لا يأكله إلا الخاطئون
Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona
But nay! I swear by all that ye see
فلا أقسم بما تبصرون
Wama la tubsiroona
And all that ye see not
وما لا تبصرون
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin
That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger.
إنه لقول رسول كريم
Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona
It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe!
وما هو بقول شاعر ۚ قليلا ما تؤمنون
Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona
Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember!
ولا بقول كاهن ۚ قليلا ما تذكرون
Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena
It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
تنزيل من رب العالمين
Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli
And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,
ولو تقول علينا بعض الأقاويل
Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni
We assuredly had taken him by the right hand
لأخذنا منه باليمين
Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena
And then severed his life - artery,
ثم لقطعنا منه الوتين
Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena
And not one of you could have held Us off from him.
فما منكم من أحد عنه حاجزين
Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena
And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil).
وإنه لتذكرة للمتقين
Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena
And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it).
وإنا لنعلم أن منكم مكذبين
Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena
And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers.
وإنه لحسرة على الكافرين
Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni
And lo! it is absolute truth.
وإنه لحق اليقين
Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord.
فسبح باسم ربك العظيم
