Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe,
নূন! ভাবো কলম ও যা তারা লেখে।
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith),
Noon. I swear by the pen and what the angels write,

Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe,
নূন! ভাবো কলম ও যা তারা লেখে।
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith),
Noon. I swear by the pen and what the angels write,
You are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.
তোমার প্রভুর অনুগ্রহে তুমি কিন্তু পাগল নও।
Thou art not, for thy Lord's favour unto thee, a madman.
By the grace of your Lord you are not mad.
And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.
আর তোমার জন্য নিশ্চয়ই রয়েছে এমন এক প্রতিদান যা শেষ হবার নয়।
And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing.
And most surely you shall have a reward never to be cut off.
And indeed, you are of a great moral character.
আর নিঃসন্দেহ তুমি সুমহান চরিত্রে অধিষ্ঠিত।
And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature.
And most surely you conform (yourself) to sublime morality.
So you will see and they will see
ফলে তুমি শীঘ্রই দেখবে এবং তারাও দেখতে পাবে - -
And thou wilt see and they will see
So you shall see, and they (too) shall see,
Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].
যে তোমাদের মধ্যে কে বিকারগ্রস্ত।
Which of you is the demented.
Which of you is afflicted with madness.
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
নিঃসন্দেহ তোমার প্রভু, তিনি ভাল জানেন কে তাঁর পথ থেকে বিচ্যুত হয়েছে, আর তিনি ভাল জানেন সৎপথপ্রাপ্তদের ।
Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.
Surely your Lord best knows him who errs from His way, and He best knows the followers of the right course.
Then do not obey the deniers.
অতএব মিথ্যাচারীদের আজ্ঞাপালন করো না।
Therefor obey not thou the rejecters
So do not yield to the rejecters.
They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].
তারা চায় যে তুমি যদি নমনীয় হও তাহলে তারাও নমনীয় হবে।
Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.
They wish that you should be pliant so they (too) would be pliant.
And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer
আর আজ্ঞাপালন করো না প্রত্যেকটি হলফকারীর, লাঞ্ছিতজনের, - -
Neither obey thou each feeble oath - monger,
And yield not to any mean swearer
[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -
পরনিন্দাকারীর, কলঙ্ক রটাতে ঘুরে - বেড়ানো লোকের, - -
Detracter, spreader abroad of slanders,
Defamer, going about with slander
A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,
ভালোকাজে নিষেধকারীর, সীমালংঘনকারীর পাপাচারীর, - -
Hinderer of the good, transgressor, malefactor
Forbidder of good, outstepping the limits, sinful,
Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.
ষন্ডা - গুন্ডার, তদুপরি অসচ্চরিত্রের, - -
Greedy therewithal, intrusive.
Ignoble, besides all that, base - born;
Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,
এইজন্য যে সে ধনসম্পদের এবং সন্তানসন্ততির অধিকারী।
It is because he is possessed of wealth and children
Because he possesses wealth and sons.
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
যখন তার কাছে আমাদের বাণীসমূহ পাঠ করা হয় সে বলে - - ''সেকেলে কল্পকাহিনী!’’
That, when Our revelations are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old.
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
We will brand him upon the snout.
আমরা শীঘ্রই তার উঁচু নাকে দাগ করে দেব।
We shall brand him on the nose.
We will brand him on the nose.
Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning
আমরা নিশ্চয়ই তাদের পরীক্ষা করব যেমন আমরা পরীক্ষা করেছিলাম বাগান - মালিকদের, যখন ওরা কসম খেয়েছিল যে তারা নিশ্চয় ভোরবেলা এর ফসল কাটবে, - -
Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning,
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,
Without making exception.
আর তারা কোনো সংরক্ষণ করে নি।
And made no exception (for the Will of Allah);
And were not willing to set aside a portion (for the poor).
So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.
ফলে তোমার প্রভুর কাছ থেকে এক দুর্বিপাক এর উপরে আপতিত হয়েছিল যখন তারা ঘুমিয়ে পড়েছিল।
Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept
Then there encompassed it a visitation from your Lord while they were sleeping.
And it became as though reaped.
কাজেই সকালবেলায় তা হয়ে গেল এক কালো নিষ্ফলা জমির মতো।
And in the morning it was as if plucked.
So it became as black, barren land.
And they called one another at morning,
তারা কিন্তু সাত - সকালে একে অপরকে ডাকাডাকি করলে - -
And they cried out one unto another in the morning,
And they called out to each other in the morning,
[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."
এই বলে - - ''সকাল সকাল তোমাদের খেত - খামারে যাও যদি তোমরা ফসল কাটতে চাও।’’
Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit).
Saying: Go early to your tilth if you would cut (the produce).
So they set out, while lowering their voices,
তখন তারা বেরিয়ে পড়ল, আর তারা ফিসফিস করতে থাকল - -
So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones:
So they went, while they consulted together secretly,
[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."
এই বলে - - ''আজ যেন তোমাদের বিরুদ্ধে কোনো হাভাতে সেখানে ঢুকে না পড়ে।’’
No needy man shall enter it to - day against you.
Saying: No poor man shall enter it today upon you.
And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.
আর তারা সকাল সকাল সংকল্পে দৃঢ়প্রতিজ্ঞ হয়ে যাত্রা করল।
They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose.
And in the morning they went, having the power to prevent.
But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;
কিন্তু যখন তারা তা দেখল তারা বললে - - ''নিশ্চয় আমরা পথ ভুল করেছি।’’
But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error!
But when they saw it, they said: Most surely we have gone astray
Rather, we have been deprived."
''না, আমরা বঞ্চিত হয়েছি।’’
Nay, but we are desolate!
Nay! we are made to suffer privation.
The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]?' "
ওদের মধ্যের শ্রেষ্ঠজন বললে - - ''আমি কি তোমাদের বলি নি, কেন তোমরা জপতপ করছ না?’’
The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah) ?
The best of them said: Did I not say to you, Why do you not glorify (Allah)?
They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
তারা বললে - - ''আমাদের প্রভুর মহিমা ঘোষিত হোক, আমরা নিশ্চয় কিছুটা ফসল দান করতে অন্যায় করেছি।’’
They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong - doers.
They said: Glory be to our Lord, surely we were unjust.
Then they approached one another, blaming each other.
তারপর তাদের কেউ - কেউ অন্যের কাছে গেল নিজেদের দোষারোপ করতে করতে।
Then some of them drew near unto others, self - reproaching.
Then some of them advanced against others, blaming each other.
They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.
তারা বললে - - ''হায়, ধিক্ আমাদের! আমরা নিশ্চয়ই সীমা ছাড়িয়ে গিয়েছিলাম।
They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous.
Said they: O woe to us! surely we were inordinate:
Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."
''হতে পারে আমাদের প্রভু আমাদের জন্য এর চেয়েও ভাল কিছু বদলে দেবেন, নিশ্চয় আমাদের প্রভুর কাছেই আমরা সানুনয় প্রার্থনা করছি।’’
It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord.
Maybe, our Lord will give us instead one better than it; surely to our Lord do we make our humble petition.
Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
এমনটাই শাস্তি হয়ে থাকে। আর পরকালের শাস্তি তো আরো বিরাট, - - যদি তারা জানতো!
Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know.
Such is the chastisement, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is greater, did they but know!
Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.
নিঃসন্দেহ ধর্মভীরুদের জন্য তাদের প্রভুর কাছে রয়েছে আনন্দময় উদ্যান - সমূহ।
Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord.
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall have with their Lord gardens of bliss.
Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?
কী, আমরা কি তবে মুসলিমদের বানাব অপরাধীদের মতো?
Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty ?
What! shall We then make (that is, treat) those who submit as the guilty?
What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?
কি হয়েছে তোমাদের? কিভাবে তোমরা বিচার কর?
What aileth you ? How foolishly ye judge!
What has happened to you? How do you judge?
Or do you have a scripture in which you learn
না কি তোমাদের জন্য কোনো গ্রন্থ রয়েছে যা তোমরা অধ্যয়ন কর - -
Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn
Or have you a book wherein you read,
That indeed for you is whatever you choose?
যে, নিশ্চয়ই তোমাদের জন্য তাতে তাই রয়েছে যা তোমরা পছন্দ কর?
That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose ?
That you have surely therein what you choose?
Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?
অথবা, তোমাদের জন্য আমাদের উপরে কিয়ামতের দিন পর্যন্ত বলবৎ থাকা এমন কোনো অংগীকার রয়েছে কি যে তোমাদের জন্য আলবৎ তাই থাকবে যা তোমরা স্থির করবে?
Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain ?
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?
Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.
তাদের জিজ্ঞাসা করো - - তাদের মধ্যে কে এ - সন্বন্ধে জামিন হবে;
Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that!
Ask them which of them will vouch for that,
Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.
না তাদের জন্য অংশী - দেবতারা আছে? তেমন হলে তাদের অংশী - দেবতাদের তারা নিয়ে আসুক যদি তারা সত্যবাদী হয়।
Or have they other gods ? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful
Or have they associates if they are truthful.
The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able,
একদিন চরম সংকট দেখা দেবে, আর তাদের ডাকা হবে সিজদা করতে, কিন্তু তারা সক্ষম হবে না।
On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able,
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,
Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.
তাদের দৃষ্টি হবে অবনত, লাঞ্ছনা তাদের জড়িয়ে ফেলবে। অথচ তাদের আহ্বান করা হয়েই থাকত সিজদা করতে যখন তারা ছিল নিরাপদ।
With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt.
Their looks cast down, abasement shall overtake them; and they were called upon to make obeisance indeed while yet they were safe.
So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.
অতএব আমাকে এবং যে এই বাণী প্রত্যাখ্যান করে তাকে ছেড়ে দাও। আমরা তাদের ধাপে ধাপে নিয়ে যাব, কেমন করে তা তারা বুঝতেও পারবে না।
Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not.
So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not:
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
তথাপি আমি ওদের সহ্য করি। আমার ফাঁদ নিশ্চয়ই বড় মজবুত।
Yet I bear with them, for lo! My scheme is firm.
And I do bear with them, surely My plan is firm.
Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?
অথবা তুমি কি তাদের থেকে কোনো পারিশ্রমিক চাইছ যার ফলে তারা ধারকর্জ করে ভারাক্রান্ত হয়ে গেছে?
Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are heavily taxed ?
Or do you ask from them a reward, so that they are burdened with debt?
Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?
অথবা কি তাদের কাছে রয়েছে, যার ফলে তারা লিখে রাখে?
Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof) ?
Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down?
Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.
অতএব তোমার প্রভুর হুকুমের জন্য অধ্যবসায় চালিয়ে যাও, এবং তুমি মাছের সঙ্গীর মতো হয়ো না। দেখো! তিনি বিষাদে কাতর হয়ে ডেকেছিলেন।
But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair.
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.
If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.
যদি তাঁর প্রভুর কাছ থেকে অনুগ্রহ তাঁর কাছে না পৌঁছুত তাহলে তিনি অবশ্যই উন্মুক্ত প্রান্তরে নিক্ষিপ্ত হতেন, আর তিনি হতেন নিন্দিত।
Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.
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.
And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.
কিন্তু তাঁর প্রভু তাঁকে মনোনীত করেছিলেন, ফলে তাঁকে সৎপথাবলন্বীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত করেছিলেন।
But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous.
Then his Lord chose him, and He made him of the good.
And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."
আর যারা অবিশ্বাস পোষণ করেছে তারা যখন স্মারক - গ্রন্থ শোনে তখন তারা যেন তাদের চোখ দিয়ে তোমাকে আছড়ে মারবে, আর তারা বলে - - ''সে তো নিশ্চয়ই এক পাগল।’’
And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad;
And those who disbelieve would almost smite you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they say: Most surely he is mad.
But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
আর এটি জগদ্বাসীর জন্য স্মারক - গ্রন্থ বৈ তো নয়।
When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation.
And it is naught but a reminder to the nations.
