وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ١

By the Star when it setteth,

Wannajmi itha hawa

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ٢

Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;

Ma dalla sahibukum wamaghawa

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ٣

Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.

Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ٤

It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,

In huwa illa wahyun yooha

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ٥

Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,

AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa

ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ٦

One vigorous; and he grew clear to view

Thoo mirratin fastawa

وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٧

When he was on the uppermost horizon.

Wahuwa bil-ofuqi al-aAAla

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ٨

Then he drew nigh and came down

Thumma dana fatadalla

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ٩

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

Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna

فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ١٠

And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.

Faawha ila AAabdihi maawha

مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ١١

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

Ma kathaba alfu-adu maraa

أَفَتُمَـٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ١٢

Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth?

Afatumaroonahu AAala mayara

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ١٣

And verily he saw him yet another time

Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra

عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ١٤

By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary,

AAinda sidrati almuntaha

عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ١٥

Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.

AAindaha jannatu alma/wa

إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ١٦

When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree,

Ith yaghsha assidratama yaghsha

مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ١٧

The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.

Ma zagha albasaru wamatagha

لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ١٨

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

Laqad raa min ayatirabbihi alkubra

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ١٩

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

Afaraaytumu allata walAAuzza

وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ٢٠

And Manat, the third, the other?

Wamanata aththalithataal-okhra

أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ٢١

Are yours the males and His the females?

Alakumu aththakaru walahual-ontha

تِلْكَ إِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَىٰٓ٢٢

That indeed were an unfair division!

Tilka ithan qismatun deeza

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَـٰنٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ٢٣

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.

In hiya illa asmaonsammaytumooha antum waabaokum maanzala Allahu biha min sultanin inyattabiAAoona illa aththanna wamatahwa al-anfusu walaqad jaahum min rabbihimu alhuda

أَمْ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ٢٤

Or shall man have what he coveteth?

Am lil-insani ma tamanna

فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ٢٥

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

Falillahi al-akhiratu wal-oola

۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَـٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَىٰٓ٢٦

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

Wakam min malakin fee assamawatila tughnee shafaAAatuhum shay-an illa minbaAAdi an ya/thana Allahu liman yashao wayarda

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ٢٧

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

Inna allatheena la yu/minoonabil-akhirati layusammoona almala-ikatatasmiyata al-ontha

وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًٔا٢٨

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

Wama lahum bihi min AAilmin inyattabiAAoona illa aththanna wa-innaaththanna la yughnee mina alhaqqishay-a

فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا٢٩

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

FaaAArid AAan man tawalla AAanthikrina walam yurid illa alhayataaddunya

ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ٣٠

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.

Thalika mablaghuhum mina alAAilmiinna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihiwahuwa aAAlamu bimani ihtada

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـُٔوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ بِٱلْحُسْنَى٣١

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.

Walillahi ma fee assamawatiwama fee al-ardi liyajziya allatheena asaoobima AAamiloo wayajziya allatheena ahsanoobilhusna

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ٣٢

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).

Allatheena yajtaniboona kaba-iraal-ithmi walfawahisha illa allamama innarabbaka wasiAAu almaghfirati huwa aAAlamu bikum ithanshaakum mina al-ardi wa-ith antum ajinnatun feebutooni ommahatikum fala tuzakkoo anfusakumhuwa aAAlamu bimani ittaqa

أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ٣٣

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

Afaraayta allathee tawalla

وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ٣٤

And gave a little, then was grudging?

WaaAAta qaleelan waakda

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ٣٥

Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth?

aAAindahu AAilmu alghaybi fahuwa yara

أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ٣٦

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

Am lam yunabba/ bima fee suhufimoosa

وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِى وَفَّىٰٓ٣٧

And Abraham who paid his debt:

Wa-ibraheema allathee waffa

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ٣٨

That no laden one shall bear another's load,

Alla taziru waziratun wizraokhra

وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ٣٩

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

Waan laysa lil-insani illa masaAAa

وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ٤٠

And that his effort will be seen.

Waanna saAAyahu sawfa yura

ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ٤١

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

Thumma yujzahu aljazaa al-awfa

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ٤٢

And that thy Lord, He is the goal;

Waanna ila rabbika almuntaha

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَىٰ٤٣

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

Waannahu huwa adhaka waabka

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَا٤٤

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

Waannahu huwa amata waahya

وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ٤٥

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

Waannahu khalaqa azzawjayni aththakarawal-ontha

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا تُمْنَىٰ٤٦

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

Min nutfatin itha tumna

وَأَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ٤٧

And that He hath ordained the second bringing forth;

Waanna AAalayhi annash-ata al-okhra

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغْنَىٰ وَأَقْنَىٰ٤٨

And that He it is Who enricheth and contenteth;

Waannahu huwa aghna waaqna

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعْرَىٰ٤٩

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

Waannahu huwa rabbu ashshiAAra

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا ٱلْأُولَىٰ٥٠

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

Waannahu ahlaka AAadan al-oola

وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَآ أَبْقَىٰ٥١

And (the tribe of) Thamud He spared not;

Wathamooda fama abqa

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ٥٢

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

Waqawma noohin min qablu innahum kanoohum athlama waatgha

وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ٥٣

And Al-Mu'tafikah He destroyed

Walmu/tafikata ahwa

فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ٥٤

So that there covered them that which did cover.

Faghashshaha ma ghashsha

فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ٥٥

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

Fabi-ayyi ala-i rabbika tatamara

هَـٰذَا نَذِيرٌ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ٥٦

This is a warner of the warners of old.

Hatha natheerun mina annuthurial-oola

أَزِفَتِ ٱلْـَٔازِفَةُ٥٧

The threatened Hour is nigh.

Azifati al-azifat

لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ٥٨

None beside Allah can disclose it.

Laysa laha min dooni Allahi kashifat

أَفَمِنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ٥٩

Marvel ye then at this statement,

Afamin hatha alhadeethitaAAjaboon

وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ٦٠

And laugh and not weep,

Watadhakoona wala tabkoon

وَأَنتُمْ سَـٰمِدُونَ٦١

While ye amuse yourselves?

Waantum samidoon

فَٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟ ۩٦٢

Rather prostrate yourselves before Allah and serve Him.
