And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
وإن ربك لهو العزيز الرحيم

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ آيَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it ?
أولم يكن لهم آية أن يعلمه علماء بني إسرائيل
And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ الْأَعْجَمِينَ
And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs,
ولو نزلناه على بعض الأعجمين
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ
And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it.
فقرأه عليهم ما كانوا به مؤمنين
And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty.
كذلك سلكناه في قلوب المجرمين
Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ
They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom,
لا يؤمنون به حتى يروا العذاب الأليم

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not.
فيأتيهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ
Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved ?
فيقولوا هل نحن منظرون
And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Would they (now) hasten on Our doom ?
أفبعذابنا يستعجلون
So for Our punishment are they impatient?
أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ
Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years,
أفرأيت إن متعناهم سنين
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
ثُمَّ جَاءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
And then cometh that which they were promised,
ثم جاءهم ما كانوا يوعدون

ما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يمتعون
They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.
وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ
And We destroyed no township but it had its warners
وما أهلكنا من قرية إلا لها منذرون
And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners
ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ
For reminder, for We never were oppressors.
ذكرى وما كنا ظالمين
As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ
The devils did not bring it down.
وما تنزلت به الشياطين
And the devils have not brought the revelation down.
وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power,
وما ينبغي لهم وما يستطيعون
It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.
إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ
Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing.
إنهم عن السمع لمعزولون

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ
Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do.
فإن عصوك فقل إني بريء مما تعملون
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful.
وتوكل على العزيز الرحيم

الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)
الذي يراك حين تقوم

يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ
They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.
يلقون السمع وأكثرهم كاذبون
They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.
وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ
As for poets, the erring follow them.
والشعراء يتبعهم الغاوون
And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley,
ألم تر أنهم في كل واد يهيمون
Do you not see that in every valley they roam
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
And how they say that which they do not ?
وأنهم يقولون ما لا يفعلون
And that they say what they do not do? -
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وذكروا الله كثيرا وانتصروا من بعد ما ظلموا ۗ وسيعلم الذين ظلموا أي منقلب ينقلبون
Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
