Waalssamai thati alhubuki
By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,
والسماء ذات الحبك

Woe to the falsehood - mongers, -
قتل الخراصون
Allatheena hum fee ghamratin sahoona
Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
الذين هم في غمرة ساهون
Yasaloona ayyana yawmu alddeeni
They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"
يسألون أيان يوم الدين
Yawma hum AAala alnnari yuftanoona

As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,
إن المتقين في جنات وعيون
Akhitheena ma atahum rabbuhum innahum kanoo qabla thalika muhsineena

Kanoo qaleelan mina allayli ma yahjaAAoona
They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,
كانوا قليلا من الليل ما يهجعون
Wabialashari hum yastaghfiroona
And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;
وبالأسحار هم يستغفرون
Wafee amwalihim haqqun lilssaili waalmahroomi
And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).
وفي أموالهم حق للسائل والمحروم
Wafee alardi ayatun lilmooqineena
On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith,
وفي الأرض آيات للموقنين
Wafee anfusikum afala tubsiroona
As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?
وفي أنفسكم ۚ أفلا تبصرون
Wafee alssamai rizqukum wama tooAAadoona
And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.
وفي السماء رزقكم وما توعدون
Fawarabbi alssamai waalardi innahu lahaqqun mithla ma annakum tantiqoona
Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.
فورب السماء والأرض إنه لحق مثل ما أنكم تنطقون
Hal ataka hadeethu dayfi ibraheema almukrameena
Has the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham?
هل أتاك حديث ضيف إبراهيم المكرمين
Ith dakhaloo AAalayhi faqaloo salaman qala salamun qawmun munkaroona
Behold, they entered his presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people."
إذ دخلوا عليه فقالوا سلاما ۖ قال سلام قوم منكرون
Faragha ila ahlihi fajaa biAAijlin sameenin
Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf,
فراغ إلى أهله فجاء بعجل سمين
Faqarrabahu ilayhim qala ala takuloona
And placed it before them.. he said, "Will ye not eat?"
فقربه إليهم قال ألا تأكلون
Faawjasa minhum kheefatan qaloo la takhaf wabashsharoohu bighulamin AAaleemin
(When they did not eat), He conceived a fear of them. They said, "Fear not," and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge.
فأوجس منهم خيفة ۖ قالوا لا تخف ۖ وبشروه بغلام عليم
Faaqbalati imraatuhu fee sarratin fasakkat wajhaha waqalat AAajoozun AAaqeemun
But his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: "A barren old woman!"
فأقبلت امرأته في صرة فصكت وجهها وقالت عجوز عقيم
Qaloo kathaliki qala rabbuki innahu huwa alhakeemu alAAaleemu
They said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge."
قالوا كذلك قال ربك ۖ إنه هو الحكيم العليم
Qala fama khatbukum ayyuha almursaloona

لنرسل عليهم حجارة من طين
Musawwamatan AAinda rabbika lilmusrifeena
"Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds."
مسومة عند ربك للمسرفين
Faakhrajna man kana feeha mina almumineena
Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there,
فأخرجنا من كان فيها من المؤمنين
Fama wajadna feeha ghayra baytin mina almuslimeena
But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house:
فما وجدنا فيها غير بيت من المسلمين
Watarakna feeha ayatan lillatheena yakhafoona alAAathaba alaleema
And We left there a Sign for such as fear the Grievous Penalty.
وتركنا فيها آية للذين يخافون العذاب الأليم
Wafee moosa ith arsalnahu ila firAAawna bisultanin mubeenin
And in Moses (was another Sign): Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh, with authority manifest.
وفي موسى إذ أرسلناه إلى فرعون بسلطان مبين
Fatawalla biruknihi waqala sahirun aw majnoonun
But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!"
فتولى بركنه وقال ساحر أو مجنون
Faakhathnahu wajunoodahu fanabathnahum fee alyammi wahuwa muleemun
So We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea; and his was the blame.
فأخذناه وجنوده فنبذناهم في اليم وهو مليم
Wafee AAadin ith arsalna AAalayhimu alrreeha alAAaqeema
And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:
وفي عاد إذ أرسلنا عليهم الريح العقيم
Ma tatharu min shayin atat AAalayhi illa jaAAalathu kaalrrameemi
It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness.
ما تذر من شيء أتت عليه إلا جعلته كالرميم
Wafee thamooda ith qeela lahum tamattaAAoo hatta heenin
And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!"
وفي ثمود إذ قيل لهم تمتعوا حتى حين
FaAAataw AAan amri rabbihim faakhathathumu alssaAAiqatu wahum yanthuroona
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on.
فعتوا عن أمر ربهم فأخذتهم الصاعقة وهم ينظرون
Fama istataAAoo min qiyamin wama kanoo muntasireena
Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves.
فما استطاعوا من قيام وما كانوا منتصرين
Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo qawman fasiqeena
So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed.
وقوم نوح من قبل ۖ إنهم كانوا قوما فاسقين
Waalssamaa banaynaha biaydin wainna lamoosiAAoona
With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.
والسماء بنيناها بأيد وإنا لموسعون
Waalarda farashnaha faniAAma almahidoona
And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out!
والأرض فرشناها فنعم الماهدون
Wamin kulli shayin khalaqna zawjayni laAAallakum tathakkaroona
And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.
ومن كل شيء خلقنا زوجين لعلكم تذكرون
Fafirroo ila Allahi innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun
Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
ففروا إلى الله ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
Wala tajAAaloo maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun
And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
ولا تجعلوا مع الله إلها آخر ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
Kathalika ma ata allatheena min qablihim min rasoolin illa qaloo sahirun aw majnoonun
Similarly, no messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed"!
كذلك ما أتى الذين من قبلهم من رسول إلا قالوا ساحر أو مجنون
Atawasaw bihi bal hum qawmun taghoona
Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!
أتواصوا به ۚ بل هم قوم طاغون
Fatawalla AAanhum fama anta bimaloomin
So turn away from them: not thine is the blame.
فتول عنهم فما أنت بملوم
Wathakkir fainna alththikra tanfaAAu almumineena
But teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers.
وذكر فإن الذكرى تنفع المؤمنين
Wama khalaqtu aljinna waalinsa illa liyaAAbudooni
I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.
وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون
Ma oreedu minhum min rizqin wama oreedu an yutAAimooni
No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me.
ما أريد منهم من رزق وما أريد أن يطعمون
Inna Allaha huwa alrrazzaqu thoo alquwwati almateenu
For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance, - Lord of Power, - Steadfast (for ever).
إن الله هو الرزاق ذو القوة المتين
Fainna lillatheena thalamoo thanooban mithla thanoobi ashabihim fala yastaAAjiloona
For the Wrong - doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)!
فإن للذين ظلموا ذنوبا مثل ذنوب أصحابهم فلا يستعجلون
Fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo min yawmihimu allathee yooAAadoona
Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised!
فويل للذين كفروا من يومهم الذي يوعدون
