بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ١
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ ٢
And when the stars fall, dispersing,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ٣
And when the mountains are removed
وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ٤
And when full-term she-camels are neglected
وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ٥
And when the wild beasts are gathered
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ٦
And when the seas are filled with flame
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ٧
And when the souls are paired
وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ ٨
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ ٩
For what sin she was killed
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ١٠
And when the pages are made public
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ ١١
And when the sky is stripped away
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ١٢
And when Hellfire is set ablaze
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ١٣
And when Paradise is brought near,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ ١٤
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ ١٥
So I swear by the retreating stars -
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ ١٦
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ١٧
And by the night as it closes in
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ١٨
And by the dawn when it breathes
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ١٩
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ ٢٠
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ ٢١
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ ٢٢
And your companion is not [at all] mad.
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ٢٣
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ ٢٤
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ ٢٥
And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ٢٦
So where are you going?
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٢٧
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ ٢٨
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٢٩
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
