আল কলম (কলম)

1 Noon. I swear by the pen and what the angels write,

1 Noon waalqalami wama yasturoona

2 By the grace of your Lord you are not mad.

2 Ma anta biniAAmati rabbika bimajnoonin

3 And most surely you shall have a reward never to be cut off.

3 Wainna laka laajran ghayra mamnoonin

4 And most surely you conform (yourself) to sublime morality.

4 Wainnaka laAAala khuluqin AAatheemin

5 So you shall see, and they (too) shall see,

5 Fasatubsiru wayubsiroona

6 Which of you is afflicted with madness.

6 Biayyikumu almaftoonu

7 Surely your Lord best knows him who errs from His way, and He best knows the followers of the right course.

7 Inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bialmuhtadeena

8 So do not yield to the rejecters.

8 Fala tutiAAi almukaththibeena

9 They wish that you should be pliant so they (too) would be pliant.

9 Waddoo law tudhinu fayudhinoona

10 And yield not to any mean swearer

10 Wala tutiAA kulla hallafin maheenin

11 Defamer, going about with slander

11 Hammazin mashshain binameemin

12 Forbidder of good, outstepping the limits, sinful,

12 MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin atheemin

13 Ignoble, besides all that, base - born;

13 AAutullin baAAda thalika zaneemin

14 Because he possesses wealth and sons.

14 An kana tha malin wabaneena

15 When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.

15 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

16 We will brand him on the nose.

16 Sanasimuhu AAala alkhurtoomi

17 Surely We will try them as We tried the owners of the garden, when they swore that they would certainly cut off the produce in the morning,

17 Inna balawnahum kama balawna ashaba aljannati ith aqsamoo layasrimunnaha musbiheena

18 And were not willing to set aside a portion (for the poor).

18 Wala yastathnoona

19 Then there encompassed it a visitation from your Lord while they were sleeping.

19 Fatafa AAalayha taifun min rabbika wahum naimoona

20 So it became as black, barren land.

20 Faasbahat kaalssareemi

21 And they called out to each other in the morning,

21 Fatanadaw musbiheena

22 Saying: Go early to your tilth if you would cut (the produce).

22 Ani ighdoo AAala harthikum in kuntum sarimeena

23 So they went, while they consulted together secretly,

23 Faintalaqoo wahum yatakhafatoona

24 Saying: No poor man shall enter it today upon you.

24 An la yadkhulannaha alyawma AAalaykum miskeenun

25 And in the morning they went, having the power to prevent.

25 Waghadaw AAala hardin qadireena

26 But when they saw it, they said: Most surely we have gone astray

26 Falamma raawha qaloo inna ladalloona

27 Nay! we are made to suffer privation.

27 Bal nahnu mahroomoona

28 The best of them said: Did I not say to you, Why do you not glorify (Allah)?

28 Qala awsatuhum alam aqul lakum lawla tusabbihoona

29 They said: Glory be to our Lord, surely we were unjust.

29 Qaloo subhana rabbina inna kunna thalimeena

30 Then some of them advanced against others, blaming each other.

30 Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatalawamoona

31 Said they: O woe to us! surely we were inordinate:

31 Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna tagheena

32 Maybe, our Lord will give us instead one better than it; surely to our Lord do we make our humble petition.

32 AAasa rabbuna an yubdilana khayran minha inna ila rabbina raghiboona

33 Such is the chastisement, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is greater, did they but know!

33 Kathalika alAAathabu walaAAathabu alakhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona

34 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall have with their Lord gardens of bliss.

34 Inna lilmuttaqeena AAinda rabbihim jannati alnnaAAeemi

35 What! shall We then make (that is, treat) those who submit as the guilty?

35 AfanajAAalu almuslimeena kaalmujrimeena

36 What has happened to you? How do you judge?

36 Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

37 Or have you a book wherein you read,

37 Am lakum kitabun feehi tadrusoona

38 That you have surely therein what you choose?

38 Inna lakum feehi lama takhayyaroona

39 Or have you received from Us an agreement confirmed by an oath extending to the day of resurrection that you shall surely have what you demand?

39 Am lakum aymanun AAalayna balighatun ila yawmi alqiyamati inna lakum lama tahkumoona

40 Ask them which of them will vouch for that,

40 Salhum ayyuhum bithalika zaAAeemun

41 Or have they associates if they are truthful.

41 Am lahum shurakao falyatoo bishurakaihim in kanoo sadiqeena

42 On the day when there shall be a severe affliction, and they shall be called upon to make obeisance, but they shall not be able,

42 Yawma yukshafu AAan saqin wayudAAawna ila alssujoodi fala yastateeAAoona

43 Their looks cast down, abasement shall overtake them; and they were called upon to make obeisance indeed while yet they were safe.

43 KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun waqad kanoo yudAAawna ila alssujoodi wahum salimoona

44 So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not:

44 Fatharnee waman yukaththibu bihatha alhadeethi sanastadrijuhum min haythu la yaAAlamoona

45 And I do bear with them, surely My plan is firm.

45 Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateenun

46 Or do you ask from them a reward, so that they are burdened with debt?

46 Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona

47 Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down?

47 Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona

48 So wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, and be not like the companion of the fish, when he cried while he was in distress.

48 Faisbir lihukmi rabbika wala takun kasahibi alhooti ith nada wahuwa makthoomun

49 Were it not that favor from his Lord had overtaken him, he would certainly have been cast down upon the naked Found while he was blamed.

49 Lawla an tadarakahu niAAmatun min rabbihi lanubitha bialAAarai wahuwa mathmoomun

50 Then his Lord chose him, and He made him of the good.

50 Faijtabahu rabbuhu fajaAAalahu mina alssaliheena

51 And those who disbelieve would almost smite you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they say: Most surely he is mad.

51 Wain yakadu allatheena kafaroo layuzliqoonaka biabsarihim lamma samiAAoo alththikra wayaqooloona innahu lamajnoonun

52 And it is naught but a reminder to the nations.

52 Wama huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena
