আল কলম (কলম)

1 Nun. By the Pen and the (Record) which (men) write, -

1 Noon waalqalami wama yasturoona

2 Thou art not, by the Grace of thy Lord, mad or possessed.

2 Ma anta biniAAmati rabbika bimajnoonin

3 Nay, verily for thee is a Reward unfailing:

3 Wainna laka laajran ghayra mamnoonin

4 And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character.

4 Wainnaka laAAala khuluqin AAatheemin

5 Soon wilt thou see, and they will see,

5 Fasatubsiru wayubsiroona

6 Which of you is afflicted with madness.

6 Biayyikumu almaftoonu

7 Verily it is thy Lord that knoweth best, which (among men) hath strayed from His Path: and He knoweth best those who receive (true) Guidance.

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

8 So hearken not to those who deny (the Truth).

8 Fala tutiAAi almukaththibeena

9 Their desire is that thou shouldst be pliant: so would they be pliant.

9 Waddoo law tudhinu fayudhinoona

10 Heed not the type of despicable men, - ready with oaths,

10 Wala tutiAA kulla hallafin maheenin

11 A slanderer, going about with calumnies,

11 Hammazin mashshain binameemin

12 (Habitually) hindering (all) good, transgressing beyond bounds, deep in sin,

12 MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin atheemin

13 Violent (and cruel), - with all that, base - born, -

13 AAutullin baAAda thalika zaneemin

14 Because he possesses wealth and (numerous) sons.

14 An kana tha malin wabaneena

15 When to him are rehearsed Our Signs, "Tales of the ancients", he cries!

15 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

16 Soon shall We brand (the beast) on the snout!

16 Sanasimuhu AAala alkhurtoomi

17 Verily We have tried them as We tried the People of the Garden, when they resolved to gather the fruits of the (garden) in the morning.

17 Inna balawnahum kama balawna ashaba aljannati ith aqsamoo layasrimunnaha musbiheena

18 But made no reservation, ("If it be Allah's Will").

18 Wala yastathnoona

19 Then there came on the (garden) a visitation from thy Lord, (which swept away) all around, while they were asleep.

19 Fatafa AAalayha taifun min rabbika wahum naimoona

20 So the (garden) became, by the morning, like a dark and desolate spot, (whose fruit had been gathered).

20 Faasbahat kaalssareemi

21 As the morning broke, they called out, one to another, -

21 Fatanadaw musbiheena

22 "Go ye to your tilth (betimes) in the morning, if ye would gather the fruits."

22 Ani ighdoo AAala harthikum in kuntum sarimeena

23 So they departed, conversing in secret low tones, (saying) -

23 Faintalaqoo wahum yatakhafatoona

24 "Let not a single indigent person break in upon you into the (garden) this day."

24 An la yadkhulannaha alyawma AAalaykum miskeenun

25 And they opened the morning, strong in an (unjust) resolve.

25 Waghadaw AAala hardin qadireena

26 But when they saw the (garden), they said: "We have surely lost our way:

26 Falamma raawha qaloo inna ladalloona

27 "Indeed we are shut out (of the fruits of our labour)!"

27 Bal nahnu mahroomoona

28 Said one of them, more just (than the rest): "Did I not say to you, 'Why not glorify (Allah)?'"

28 Qala awsatuhum alam aqul lakum lawla tusabbihoona

29 They said: "Glory to our Lord! Verily we have been doing wrong!"

29 Qaloo subhana rabbina inna kunna thalimeena

30 Then they turned, one against another, in reproach.

30 Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatalawamoona

31 They said: "Alas for us! We have indeed transgressed!

31 Qaloo ya waylana inna kunna tagheena

32 "It may be that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this: for we do turn to Him (in repentance)!"

32 AAasa rabbuna an yubdilana khayran minha inna ila rabbina raghiboona

33 Such is the Punishment (in this life); but greater is the Punishment in the Hereafter, - if only they knew!

33 Kathalika alAAathabu walaAAathabu alakhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoona

34 Verily, for the Righteous, are Gardens of Delight, in the Presence of their Lord.

34 Inna lilmuttaqeena AAinda rabbihim jannati alnnaAAeemi

35 Shall We then treat the People of Faith like the People of Sin?

35 AfanajAAalu almuslimeena kaalmujrimeena

36 What is the matter with you? How judge ye?

36 Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona

37 Or have ye a book through which ye learn -

37 Am lakum kitabun feehi tadrusoona

38 That ye shall have, through it whatever ye choose?

38 Inna lakum feehi lama takhayyaroona

39 Or have ye Covenants with Us to oath, reaching to the Day of Judgment, (providing) that ye shall have whatever ye shall demand?

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

40 Ask thou of them, which of them will stand surety for that!

40 Salhum ayyuhum bithalika zaAAeemun

41 Or have they some "Partners" (in Allahhead)? Then let them produce their "partners", if they are truthful!

41 Am lahum shurakao falyatoo bishurakaihim in kanoo sadiqeena

42 The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able, -

42 Yawma yukshafu AAan saqin wayudAAawna ila alssujoodi fala yastateeAAoona

43 Their eyes will be cast down, - ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration, while they were whole, (and had refused).

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

44 Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not.

44 Fatharnee waman yukaththibu bihatha alhadeethi sanastadrijuhum min haythu la yaAAlamoona

45 A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan.

45 Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateenun

46 Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt? -

46 Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona

47 Or that the Unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down?

47 Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona

48 So wait with patience for the Command of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish, - when he cried out in agony.

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

49 Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace.

49 Lawla an tadarakahu niAAmatun min rabbihi lanubitha bialAAarai wahuwa mathmoomun

50 Thus did his Lord choose him and make him of the Company of the Righteous.

50 Faijtabahu rabbuhu fajaAAalahu mina alssaliheena

51 And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the Message; and they say: "Surely he is possessed!"

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

52 But it is nothing less than a Message to all the worlds.

52 Wama huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena
