Then he desires that I should add more.
Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا
No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
Saorhiquhu saAAoodan
سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا

Innahu fakkara waqaddara
إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
Faqutila kayfa qaddara
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ
And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
In hatha illa qawlu albashari
إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ
This is not but the word of a human being."

La tubqee wala tatharu
لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
Lawwahatun lilbashari
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ
Blackening the skins.
AAalayha tisAAata AAashara
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

Wama jaAAalna ashaba alnnari illa malaikatan wama jaAAalna AAiddatahum illa fitnatan lillatheena kafaroo liyastayqina allatheena ootoo alkitaba wayazdada allatheena amanoo eemanan wala yartaba allatheena ootoo alkitaba waalmuminoona waliyaqoola allatheena fee quloobihim maradun waalkafiroona matha arada Allahu bihatha mathalan kathalika yudillu Allahu man yashao wayahdee man yashao wama yaAAlamu junooda rabbika illa huwa wama hiya illa thikra lilbashari
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيمَانًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
Kalla waalqamari
كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ
No! By the moon
Waallayli ith adbara
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
And [by] the night when it departs
Waalssubhi itha asfara
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
Innaha laihda alkubari
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
Natheeran lilbashari
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ
As a warning to humanity -
Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
Illa ashaba alyameeni
إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ
Except the companions of the right,
Fee jannatin yatasaaloona
فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
AAani almujrimeena
عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
About the criminals,
Ma salakakum fee saqara
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena
قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
حَتَّىٰ أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ
Until there came to us the certainty."
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ
As if they were alarmed donkeys
Farrat min qaswaratin
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍ
Fleeing from a lion?
Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
Kalla innahu tathkiratun
كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
Faman shaa thakarahu
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
Then whoever wills will remember it.
Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
