نٓ ۚ وَٱلْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ
Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith),
Noon walqalami wama yasturoon
مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ
Thou art not, for thy Lord's favour unto thee, a madman.
Ma anta biniAAmati rabbika bimajnoon
وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ
And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing.
Wa-inna laka laajran ghayra mamnoon
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature.
Wa-innaka laAAala khuluqin AAatheem
فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ
And thou wilt see and they will see
Fasatubsiru wayubsiroon
بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلْمَفْتُونُ
Which of you is the demented.
Bi-ayyikumu almaftoon
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ
Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.
Inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dallaAAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bilmuhtadeen
فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Therefor obey not thou the rejecters
Fala tutiAAi almukaththibeen
وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ
Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.
Waddoo law tudhinu fayudhinoon
وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ
Neither obey thou each feeble oath-monger,
Wala tutiAA kulla hallafinmaheen
هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّآءٍۭ بِنَمِيمٍ
Detracter, spreader abroad of slanders,
Hammazin mashsha-in binameem
مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Hinderer of the good, transgressor, malefactor
MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin atheem
عُتُلٍّۭ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ
Greedy therewithal, intrusive.
AAutullin baAAda thalika zaneem
أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ
It is because he is possessed of wealth and children
An kana tha malinwabaneen
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
That, when Our revelations are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old.
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatunaqala asateeru al-awwaleen
سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلْخُرْطُومِ
We shall brand him on the nose.
Sanasimuhu AAala alkhurtoom
إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـٰهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا۟ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ
Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning,
Inna balawnahum kamabalawna as-haba aljannati ith aqsamoolayasrimunnaha musbiheen
وَلَا يَسْتَثْنُونَ
And made no exception (for the Will of Allah);
Wala yastathnoon
فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَآئِفٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ
Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept
Fatafa AAalayha ta-ifunmin rabbika wahum na-imoon
فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَٱلصَّرِيمِ
And in the morning it was as if plucked.
Faasbahat kassareem
فَتَنَادَوْا۟ مُصْبِحِينَ
And they cried out one unto another in the morning,
Fatanadaw musbiheen
أَنِ ٱغْدُوا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰرِمِينَ
Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit).
Ani ighdoo AAala harthikum inkuntum sarimeen
فَٱنطَلَقُوا۟ وَهُمْ يَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ
So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones:
Fantalaqoo wahum yatakhafatoon
أَن لَّا يَدْخُلَنَّهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُم مِّسْكِينٌ
No needy man shall enter it to-day against you.
An la yadkhulannaha alyawmaAAalaykum miskeen
وَغَدَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرْدٍ قَـٰدِرِينَ
They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose.
Waghadaw AAala hardin qadireen
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ
But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error!
Falamma raawha qalooinna ladalloon
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
Nay, but we are desolate!
Bal nahnu mahroomoon
قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ
The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah)?
Qala awsatuhum alam aqul lakumlawla tusabbihoon
قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ
They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong-doers.
Qaloo subhana rabbinainna kunna thalimeen
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَلَـٰوَمُونَ
Then some of them drew near unto others, self-reproaching.
Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdinyatalawamoon
قَالُوا۟ يَـٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَـٰغِينَ
They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous.
Qaloo ya waylana innakunna tagheen
عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ
It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord.
AAasa rabbuna an yubdilanakhayran minha inna ila rabbina raghiboon
كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ
Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know.
Kathalika alAAathabu walaAAathabual-akhirati akbaru law kanoo yaAAlamoon
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord.
Inna lilmuttaqeena AAinda rabbihim jannatiannaAAeem
أَفَنَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ كَٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty?
AfanajAAalu almuslimeena kalmujrimeen
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
What aileth you? How foolishly ye judge!
Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoon
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَـٰبٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ
Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn
Am lakum kitabun feehi tadrusoon
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ
That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose?
Inna lakum feehi lama takhayyaroon
أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَـٰنٌ عَلَيْنَا بَـٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ
Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain?
Am lakum aymanun AAalayna balighatunila yawmi alqiyamati inna lakum lama tahkumoon
سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ
Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that!
Salhum ayyuhum bithalika zaAAeem
أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَـٰدِقِينَ
Or have they other gods? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful

يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able,
Yawma yukshafu AAan saqin wayudAAawnaila assujoodi fala yastateeAAoon
خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۖ وَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَـٰلِمُونَ
With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt.
KhashiAAatan absaruhumtarhaquhum thillatun waqad kanoo yudAAawna ilaassujoodi wahum salimoon
فَذَرْنِى وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ ۖ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
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.

وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ
Yet I bear with them, for lo! My scheme is firm.
Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateen
أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ
Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are heavily taxed?
Am tas-aluhum ajran fahum min maghraminmuthqaloon
أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ
Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof)?
Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboon
فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ
But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair.
Fasbir lihukmi rabbikawala takun kasahibi alhooti ith nadawahuwa makthoom
لَّوْلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ
Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.
Lawla an tadarakahu niAAmatunmin rabbihi lanubitha bilAAara-i wahuwa mathmoom
فَٱجْتَبَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous.
Fajtabahu rabbuhu fajaAAalahumina assaliheen
وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌ
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;
Wa-in yakadu allatheenakafaroo layuzliqoonaka bi-absarihim lamma samiAAooaththikra wayaqooloona innahu lamajnoon
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation.
