আল নাজম

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Star when it setteth,

1 Waalnnajmi itha hawa

2 Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;

2 Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa

3 Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.

3 Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa

4 It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,

4 In huwa illa wahyun yooha

5 Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,

5 AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa

6 One vigorous; and he grew clear to view

6 Thoo mirratin faistawa

7 When he was on the uppermost horizon.

7 Wahuwa bialofuqi alaAAla

8 Then he drew nigh and came down

8 Thumma dana fatadalla

9 Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer,

9 Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna

10 And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.

10 Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha

11 The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw.

11 Ma kathaba alfuadu ma raa

12 Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth ?

12 Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara

13 And verily he saw him yet another time

13 Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra

14 By the lote - tree of the utmost boundary,

14 AAinda sidrati almuntaha

15 Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.

15 AAindaha jannatu almawa

16 When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote - tree,

16 Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha

17 The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.

17 Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha

18 Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.

18 Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra

19 Have ye thought upon Al - Lat and Al - 'Uzza

19 Afaraaytumu allata waalAAuzza

20 And Manat, the third, the other ?

20 Wamanata alththalithata alokhra

21 Are yours the males and His the females ?

21 Alakumu alththakaru walahu alontha

22 That indeed were an unfair division!

22 Tilka ithan qismatun deeza

23 They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them.

23 In hiya illa asmaon sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wama tahwa alanfusu walaqad jaahum min rabbihimu alhuda

24 Or shall man have what he coveteth ?

24 Am lilinsani ma tamanna

25 But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former.

25 Falillahi alakhiratu waaloola

26 And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth.

26 Wakam min malakin fee alssamawati la tughnee shafaAAatuhum shayan illa min baAAdi an yathana Allahu liman yashao wayarda

27 Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females.

27 Inna allatheena la yuminoona bialakhirati layusammoona almalaikata tasmiyata alontha

28 And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth.

28 Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin in yattabiAAoona illa alththanna wainna alththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqi shayan

29 Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who fleeth from Our remembrance and desireth but the life of the world.

29 FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAan thikrina walam yurid illa alhayata alddunya

30 Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right.

30 Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmi inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada

31 And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness.

31 Walillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi liyajziya allatheena asaoo bima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoo bialhusna

32 Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences - (for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware of him who wardeth off (evil).

32 Allatheena yajtaniboona kabaira alithmi waalfawahisha illa allamama inna rabbaka wasiAAu almaghfirati huwa aAAlamu bikum ith anshaakum mina alardi waith antum ajinnatun fee butooni ommahatikum fala tuzakkoo anfusakum huwa aAAlamu bimani ittaqa

33 Didst thou (O Muhammad) observe him who turned away,

33 Afaraayta allathee tawalla

34 And gave a little, then was grudging ?

34 WaaAAta qaleelan waakda

35 Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth ?

35 aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara

36 Or hath he not had news of what is in the books of Moses

36 Am lam yunabba bima fee suhufi moosa

37 And Abraham who paid his debt:

37 Waibraheema allathee waffa

38 That no laden one shall bear another's load,

38 Alla taziru waziratun wizra okhra

39 And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,

39 Waan laysa lilinsani illa ma saAAa

40 And that his effort will be seen.

40 Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura

41 And afterward he will be repaid for it with fullest payment;

41 Thumma yujzahu aljazaa alawfa

42 And that thy Lord, He is the goal;

42 Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha

43 And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep,

43 Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka

44 And that He it is Who giveth death and giveth life;

44 Waannahu huwa amata waahya

45 And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female,

45 Waannahu khalaqa alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

46 From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth;

46 Min nutfatin itha tumna

47 And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth;

47 Waanna AAalayhi alnnashata alokhra

48 And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth;

48 Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna

49 And that He it is Who is the Lord of Sirius;

49 Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiAAra

50 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad,

50 Waannahu ahlaka AAadan aloola

51 And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not;

51 Wathamooda fama abqa

52 And the folk of Noah aforetime, Lo! they were more unjust and more rebellious;

52 Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoo hum athlama waatgha

53 And Al - Mu'tafikah He destroyed

53 Waalmutafikata ahwa

54 So that there covered them that which did cover.

54 Faghashshaha ma ghashsha

55 Concerning which then, of the bounties of thy Lord, canst thou dispute ?

55 Fabiayyi alai rabbika tatamara

56 This is a warner of the warners of old.

56 Hatha natheerun mina alnnuthuri aloola

57 The threatened Hour is nigh.

57 Azifati alazifatu

58 None beside Allah can disclose it.

58 Laysa laha min dooni Allahi kashifatun

59 Marvel ye then at this statement,

59 Afamin hatha alhadeethi taAAjaboona

60 And laugh and not weep,

60 Watadhakoona wala tabkoona

61 While ye amuse yourselves ?

61 Waantum samidoona

62 Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him.

62 Faosjudoo lillahi waoAAbudoo
