Al Shu'araa

1 Taseenmeem

1 Ta Sin Mim.

2 Tilka ayatu alkitabi almubeeni

2 These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.

3 LaAAallaka bakhiAAun nafsaka alla yakoonoo mumineena

3 Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe.

4 In nasha nunazzil AAalayhim mina alssamai ayatan fathallat aAAnaquhum laha khadiAAeena

4 If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.

5 Wama yateehim min thikrin mina alrrahmani muhdathin illa kanoo AAanhu muAArideena

5 And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent Allah but they turn aside from it.

6 Faqad kaththaboo fasayateehim anbao ma kanoo bihi yastahzioona

6 So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.

7 Awalam yaraw ila alardi kam anbatna feeha min kulli zawjin kareemin

7 Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it?

8 Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

8 Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of them will not believe.

9 Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

9 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

10 Waith nada rabbuka moosa ani iti alqawma alththalimeena

10 And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to the unjust people,

11 Qawma firAAawna ala yattaqoona

11 The people of Firon: Will they not guard (against evil)?

12 Qala rabbi innee akhafu an yukaththibooni

12 He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me;

13 Wayadeequ sadree wala yantaliqu lisanee faarsil ila haroona

13 And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);

14 Walahum AAalayya thanbun faakhafu an yaqtulooni

14 And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me.

15 Qala kalla faithhaba biayatina inna maAAakum mustamiAAoona

15 He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing;

16 Fatiya firAAawna faqoola inna rasoolu rabbi alAAalameena

16 Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the apostles of the Lord of the worlds:

17 An arsil maAAana banee israeela

17 Then send with us the children of Israel.

18 Qala alam nurabbika feena waleedan walabithta feena min AAumurika sineena

18 (Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?

19 WafaAAalta faAAlataka allatee faAAalta waanta mina alkafireena

19 And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful.

20 Qala faAAaltuha ithan waana mina alddalleena

20 He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course;

21 Fafarartu minkum lamma khiftukum fawahaba lee rabbee hukman wajaAAalanee mina almursaleena

21 So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles;

22 Watilka niAAmatun tamunnuha AAalayya an AAabbadta banee israeela

22 And is it a favor of which you remind me that you have enslaved the children of Israel?

23 Qala firAAawnu wama rabbu alAAalameena

23 Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?

24 Qala rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena

24 He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.

25 Qala liman hawlahu ala tastamiAAoona

25 (Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear?

26 Qala rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena

26 He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.

27 Qala inna rasoolakumu allathee orsila ilaykum lamajnoonun

27 Said he: Most surely your Apostle who is sent to you is mad.

28 Qala rabbu almashriqi waalmaghribi wama baynahuma in kuntum taAAqiloona

28 He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand.

29 Qala laini ittakhathta ilahan ghayree laajAAalannaka mina almasjooneena

29 Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will most certainly make you one of the imprisoned.

30 Qala awalaw jituka bishayin mubeenin

30 He said: What! even if I bring to you something manifest?

31 Qala fati bihi in kunta mina alssadiqeena

31 Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones.

32 Faalqa AAasahu faitha hiya thuAAbanun mubeenun

32 So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obvious serpent,

33 WanazaAAa yadahu faitha hiya baydao lilnnathireena

33 And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white to the onlookers.

34 Qala lilmalai hawlahu inna hatha lasahirun AAaleemun

34 (Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely this is a skillful magician,

35 Yureedu an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihi famatha tamuroona

35 Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic; what is it then that you advise?

36 Qaloo arjih waakhahu waibAAath fee almadaini hashireena

36 They said: Give him and his brother respite and send heralds into the cities

37 Yatooka bikulli sahharin AAaleemin

37 That they should bring to you every skillful magician.

38 FajumiAAa alssaharatu limeeqati yawmin maAAloomin

38 So the magicians were gathered together at the appointed time on the fixed day,

39 Waqeela lilnnasi hal antum mujtamiAAoona

39 And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?

40 LaAAallana nattabiAAu alssaharata in kanoo humu alghalibeena

40 Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers.

41 Falamma jaa alssaharatu qaloo lifirAAawna ainna lana laajran in kunna nahnu alghalibeena

41 And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?

42 Qala naAAam wainnakum ithan lamina almuqarrabeena

42 He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near.

43 Qala lahum moosa alqoo ma antum mulqoona

43 Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast.

44 Faalqaw hibalahum waAAisiyyahum waqaloo biAAizzati firAAawna inna lanahnu alghaliboona

44 So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.

45 Faalqa moosa AAasahu faitha hiya talqafu ma yafikoona

45 Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told.

46 Faolqiya alssaharatu sajideena

46 And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;

47 Qaloo amanna birabbi alAAalameena

47 They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds:

48 Rabbi moosa waharoona

48 The Lord of Musa and Haroun.

49 Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falasawfa taAAlamoona laoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum ajmaAAeena

49 Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all.

50 Qaloo la dayra inna ila rabbina munqaliboona

50 They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;

51 Inna natmaAAu an yaghfira lana rabbuna khatayana an kunna awwala almumineena

51 Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.

52 Waawhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee innakum muttabaAAoona

52 And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.

53 Faarsala firAAawnu fee almadaini hashireena

53 So Firon sent heralds into the cities;

54 Inna haolai lashirthimatun qaleeloona

54 Most surely these are a small company;

55 Wainnahum lana laghaithoona

55 And most surely they have enraged us;

56 Wainna lajameeAAun hathiroona

56 And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.

57 Faakhrajnahum min jannatin waAAuyoonin

57 So We turned them out of gardens and springs,

58 Wakunoozin wamaqamin kareemin

58 And treasures and goodly dwellings,

59 Kathalika waawrathnaha banee israeela

59 Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel.

60 FaatbaAAoohum mushriqeena

60 Then they pursued them at sunrise.

61 Falamma taraa aljamAAani qala ashabu moosa inna lamudrakoona

61 So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.

62 Qala kalla inna maAAiya rabbee sayahdeeni

62 He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.

63 Faawhayna ila moosa ani idrib biAAasaka albahra fainfalaqa fakana kullu firqin kaalttawdi alAAatheemi

63 Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.

64 Waazlafna thamma alakhareena

64 And We brought near, there, the others.

65 Waanjayna moosa waman maAAahu ajmaAAeena

65 And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.

66 Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

66 Then We drowned the others.

67 Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

67 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

68 Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

68 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

69 Waotlu AAalayhim nabaa ibraheema

69 And recite to them the story of Ibrahim.

70 Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi ma taAAbudoona

70 When he said to his father and his people: What do you worship?

71 Qaloo naAAbudu asnaman fanathallu laha AAakifeena

71 They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries.

72 Qala hal yasmaAAoonakum ith tadAAoona

72 He said: Do they hear you when you call?

73 Aw yanfaAAoonakum aw yadurroona

73 Or do they profit you or cause you harm?

74 Qaloo bal wajadna abaana kathalika yafAAaloona

74 They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so.

75 Qala afaraaytum ma kuntum taAAbudoona

75 He said: Have you then considered what you have been worshipping:

76 Antum waabaokumu alaqdamoona

76 You and your ancient sires.

77 Fainnahum AAaduwwun lee illa rabba alAAalameena

77 Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord of the worlds;

78 Allathee khalaqanee fahuwa yahdeeni

78 Who created me, then He has shown me the way:

79 Waallathee huwa yutAAimunee wayasqeeni

79 And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink:

80 Waitha maridtu fahuwa yashfeeni

80 And when I am sick, then He restores me to health

81 Waallathee yumeetunee thumma yuhyeeni

81 And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life;

82 Waallathee atmaAAu an yaghfira lee khateeatee yawma alddeeni

82 And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment.

83 Rabbi hab lee hukman waalhiqnee bialssaliheena

83 My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good

84 WaijAAal lee lisana sidqin fee alakhireena

84 And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity

85 WaijAAalnee min warathati jannati alnnaAAeemi

85 And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss

86 Waighfir liabee innahu kana mina alddalleena

86 And forgive my father, for surely he is of those who have gone astray;

87 Wala tukhzinee yawma yubAAathoona

87 And disgrace me not on the day when they are raised

88 Yawma la yanfaAAu malun wala banoona

88 The day on which property will not avail, nor sons

89 Illa man ata Allaha biqalbin saleemin

89 Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (from evil).

90 Waozlifati aljannatu lilmuttaqeena

90 And the garden shall be brought near for those who guard (against evil),

91 Waburrizati aljaheemu lilghaweena

91 And the hell shall be made manifest to the erring ones,

92 Waqeela lahum ayna ma kuntum taAAbudoona

92 And it shall be said to them: Where are those that you used to worship;

93 Min dooni Allahi hal yansuroonakum aw yantasiroona

93 Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves?

94 Fakubkiboo feeha hum waalghawoona

94 So they shall be thrown down into it, they and the erring ones,

95 Wajunoodu ibleesa ajmaAAoona

95 And the hosts of the Shaitan, all.

96 Qaloo wahum feeha yakhtasimoona

96 They shall say while they contend therein:

97 TaAllahi in kunna lafee dalalin mubeenin

97 By Allah! we were certainly in manifest error,

98 Ith nusawweekum birabbi alAAalameena

98 When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds;

99 Wama adallana illa almujrimoona

99 And none but the guilty led us astray;

100 Fama lana min shafiAAeena

100 So we have no intercessors,

101 Wala sadeeqin hameemin

101 Nor a true friend;

102 Falaw anna lana karratan fanakoona mina almumineena

102 But if we could but once return, we would be of the believers.

103 Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

103 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

104 Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

104 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

105 Kaththabat qawmu noohin almursaleena

105 The people of Nuh rejected the apostles.

106 Ith qala lahum akhoohum noohun ala tattaqoona

106 When their brother Nuh said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

107 Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

107 Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

108 Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

108 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

109 Wama asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin in ajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena

109 And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:

110 Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

110 So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me.

111 Qaloo anuminu laka waittabaAAaka alarthaloona

111 They said: Shall we believe in you while the meanest follow you?

112 Qala wama AAilmee bima kanoo yaAAmaloona

112 He said: And what knowledge have I of what they do?

113 In hisabuhum illa AAala rabbee law tashAAuroona

113 Their account is only with my Lord, if you could perceive

114 Wama ana bitaridi almumineena

114 And I am not going to drive away the believers;

115 In ana illa natheerun mubeenun

115 I am naught but a plain warner.

116 Qaloo lain lam tantahi ya noohu latakoonanna mina almarjoomeena

116 They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall most certainly be of those stoned to death.

117 Qala rabbi inna qawmee kaththabooni

117 He said: My Lord! Surely my people give me the lie!

118 Faiftah baynee wabaynahum fathan wanajjinee waman maAAiya mina almumineena

118 Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just) judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers.

119 Faanjaynahu waman maAAahu fee alfulki almashhooni

119 So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark.

120 Thumma aghraqna baAAdu albaqeena

120 Then We drowned the rest afterwards

121 Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

121 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

122 Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

122 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

123 Kaththabat AAadun almursaleena

123 Ad gave the lie to the apostles.

124 Ith qala lahum akhoohum hoodun ala tattaqoona

124 When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

125 Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

125 Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

126 Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

126 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

127 Wama asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin in ajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena

127 And I do not ask you any reward for it; surely my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds

128 Atabnoona bikulli reeAAin ayatan taAAbathoona

128 Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is it that you do:

129 Watattakhithoona masaniAAa laAAallakum takhludoona

129 And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may

130 Waitha batashtum batashtum jabbareena

130 And when you lay hands (on men) you lay hands (like) tyrants;

131 Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

131 So guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me

132 Waittaqoo allathee amaddakum bima taAAlamoona

132 And be careful of (your duty to) Him Who has given you abundance of what you know.

133 Amaddakum bianAAamin wabaneena

133 He has given you abundance of cattle and children

134 Wajannatin waAAuyoonin

134 And gardens and fountains;

135 Innee akhafu AAalaykum AAathaba yawmin AAatheemin

135 Surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day

136 Qaloo sawaon AAalayna awaAAathta am lam takun mina alwaAAitheena

136 They said: It is the same to us whether you admonish or are not one of the admonishers

137 In hatha illa khuluqu alawwaleena

137 This is naught but a custom of the ancients;

138 Wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeena

138 And we are not going to be punished.

139 Fakaththaboohu faahlaknahum inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

139 So they gave him the lie, then We destroyed them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

140 Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

140 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

141 Kaththabat thamoodu almursaleena

143 Surely I am a faithful apostle to you

144 Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

144 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

145 Wama asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin in ajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena

145 And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds:

146 Atutrakoona fee ma hahuna amineena

146 Will you be left secure in what is here;

147 Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin

147 In gardens and fountains,

148 WazurooAAin wanakhlin talAAuha hadeemun

148 And cornfields and palm - trees having fine spadices?

149 Watanhitoona mina aljibali buyootan fariheena

149 And you hew houses out of the mountains exultingly;

150 Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

150 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me;

151 Wala tuteeAAoo amra almusrifeena

151 And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant,

152 Allatheena yufsidoona fee alardi wala yuslihoona

152 Who make mischief in the land and do not act aright.

153 Qaloo innama anta mina almusahhareena

153 They said: You are only of the deluded ones;

154 Ma anta illa basharun mithluna fati biayatin in kunta mina alssadiqeena

154 You are naught but a mortal like ourselves; so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.

155 Qala hathihi naqatun laha shirbun walakum shirbu yawmin maAAloomin

155 He said: This is a she - camel; she shall have her portion of water, and you have your portion of water on an appointed time;

156 Wala tamassooha bisooin fayakhuthakum AAathabu yawmin AAatheemin

156 And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you.

157 FaAAaqarooha faasbahoo nadimeena

157 But they hamstrung her, then regretted;

158 Faakhathahumu alAAathabu inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

158 So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

159 Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

159 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

160 Kaththabat qawmu lootin almursaleena

160 The people of Lut gave the lie to the apostles.

161 Ith qala lahum akhoohum lootun ala tattaqoona

161 When their brother Lut said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?

162 Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

162 Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

163 Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

163 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

164 Wama asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin in ajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena

164 And I do not ask you any reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;

165 Atatoona alththukrana mina alAAalameena

165 What! do you come to the males from among the creatures

166 Watatharoona ma khalaqa lakum rabbukum min azwajikum bal antum qawmun AAadoona

166 And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.

167 Qaloo lain lam tantahi ya lootu latakoonanna mina almukhrajeena

167 They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surely be of those who are expelled.

168 Qala innee liAAamalikum mina alqaleena

168 He said: Surely I am of those who utterly abhor your doing;

169 Rabbi najjinee waahlee mimma yaAAmaloona

169 My Lord! deliver me and my followers from what they do.

170 Fanajjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena

170 So We delivered him and his followers all,

171 Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena

171 Except an old woman, among those who remained behind.

172 Thumma dammarna alakhareena

172 Then We utterly destroyed the others.

173 Waamtarna AAalayhim mataran fasaa mataru almunthareena

173 And We rained down upon them a rain, and evil was the rain on those warned.

174 Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

174 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

175 Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

175 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

176 Kaththaba ashabu alaykati almursaleena

176 The dwellers of the thicket gave the lie to the apostles.

178 Innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

178 Surely I am a faithful apostle to you;

179 Faittaqoo Allaha waateeAAooni

179 Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

180 Wama asalukum AAalayhi min ajrin in ajriya illa AAala rabbi alAAalameena

180 And I do not ask you any reward for it, my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds;

181 Awfoo alkayla wala takoonoo mina almukhsireena

181 Give a full measure and be not of those who diminish;

182 Wazinoo bialqistasi almustaqeemi

182 And weigh (things) with a right balance,

183 Wala tabkhasoo alnnasa ashyaahum wala taAAthaw fee alardi mufsideena

183 And do not wrong men of their things, and do not act corruptly in the earth, making mischief.

184 Waittaqoo allathee khalaqakum waaljibillata alawwaleena

184 And guard against (the punishment of) Him who created you and the former nations.

185 Qaloo innama anta mina almusahhareena

185 They said: You are only of those deluded;

186 Wama anta illa basharun mithluna wain nathunnuka lamina alkathibeena

186 And you are naught but a mortal like ourselves, and we know you to be certainly of the liars.

187 Faasqit AAalayna kisafan mina alssamai in kunta mina alssadiqeena

187 Therefore cause a portion of the heaven to come down upon us, if you are one of the truthful.

188 Qala rabbee aAAlamu bima taAAmaloona

188 He said: My Lord knows best what you do.

189 Fakaththaboohu faakhathahum AAathabu yawmi alththullati innahu kana AAathaba yawmin AAatheemin

189 But they called him a liar, so the punishment of the day of covering overtook them; surely it was the punishment of a grievous day.

190 Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

190 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

191 Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

191 And most surely your Lord is Mighty, the Merciful.

192 Wainnahu latanzeelu rabbi alAAalameena

192 And most surely this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

193 Nazala bihi alrroohu alameenu

193 The Faithful Spirit has descended with it,

194 AAala qalbika litakoona mina almunthireena

194 Upon your heart that you may be of the warners

195 Bilisanin AAarabiyyin mubeenin

195 In plain Arabic language.

196 Wainnahu lafee zuburi alawwaleena

196 And most surely the same is in the scriptures of the ancients.

197 Awalam yakun lahum ayatan an yaAAlamahu AAulamao banee israeela

197 Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Israelites know it?

198 Walaw nazzalnahu AAala baAAdi alaAAjameena

198 And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners

199 Faqaraahu AAalayhim ma kanoo bihi mumineena

199 So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein.

200 Kathalika salaknahu fee quloobi almujrimeena

200 Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty.

201 La yuminoona bihi hatta yarawoo alAAathaba alaleema

201 They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

202 Fayatiyahum baghtatan wahum la yashAAuroona

202 And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive;

203 Fayaqooloo hal nahnu muntharoona

203 Then they will say: Shall we be respited?

204 AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona

204 What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment?

205 Afaraayta in mattaAAnahum sineena

205 Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,

206 Thumma jaahum ma kanoo yooAAadoona

206 Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened,

207 Ma aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yumattaAAoona

207 That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?

208 Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illa laha munthiroona

208 And We did not destroy any town but it had (its) warners,

209 Thikra wama kunna thalimeena

209 To remind, and We are never unjust.

210 Wama tanazzalat bihi alshshayateenu

210 And the Shaitans have not come down with it.

211 Wama yanbaghee lahum wama yastateeAAoona

211 And it behoves them not, and they have not the power to do (it).

212 Innahum AAani alssamAAi lamaAAzooloona

212 Most surely they are far removed from the hearing of it.

213 Fala tadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara fatakoona mina almuAAaththabeena

213 So call not upon another god with Allah, lest you be of those who are punished.

214 Waanthir AAasheerataka alaqrabeena

214 And warn your nearest relations,

215 Waikhfid janahaka limani ittabaAAaka mina almumineena

215 And be kind to him who follows you of the believers.

216 Fain AAasawka faqul innee bareeon mimma taAAmaloona

216 But if they disobey you, then say: Surely I am clear of what you do.

217 Watawakkal AAala alAAazeezi alrraheemi

217 And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful,

218 Allathee yaraka heena taqoomu

218 Who sees you when you stand up.

219 Wataqallubaka fee alssajideena

219 And your turning over and over among those who prostrate themselves before Allah.

220 Innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

220 Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

221 Hal onabbiokum AAala man tanazzalu alshshayateenu

221 Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the Shaitans descend?

222 Tanazzalu AAala kulli affakin atheemin

222 They descend upon every lying, sinful one,

223 Yulqoona alssamAAa waaktharuhum kathiboona

223 They incline their ears, and most of them are liars.

224 WaalshshuAAarao yattabiAAuhumu alghawoona

224 And as to the poets, those who go astray follow them.

225 Alam tara annahum fee kulli wadin yaheemoona

225 Do you not see that they wander about bewildered in every valley?

226 Waannahum yaqooloona ma la yafAAaloona

226 And that they say that which they do not do,

227 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati wathakaroo Allaha katheeran waintasaroo min baAAdi ma thulimoo wasayaAAlamu allatheena thalamoo ayya munqalabin yanqaliboona

227 Except those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; and they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back.
