بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
Izash shamsu kuwwirat
When the sun is covered,
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ
Wa izan nujoomun kadarat
And when the stars darken,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
Wa izal jibaalu suyyirat
And when the mountains are made to pass away,
وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
Wa izal 'ishaaru 'uttilat
And when the camels are left untended,
وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
Wa izal wuhooshu hushirat
And when the wild animals are made to go forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
Wa izal bihaaru sujjirat
And when the seas are set on fire,
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
Wa izan nufoosu zuwwijat
And when souls are united,
وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ
Wa izal maw'oodatu su'ilat
And when the female infant buried alive is asked
بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْ
Bi ayyi zambin qutilat
For what sin she was killed,
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
Wa izas suhufu nushirat
And when the books are spread,
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ
Wa izas samaaa'u kushitat
And when the heaven has its covering removed,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
Wa izal jaheemu su'-'irat
And when the hell is kindled up,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
Wa izal jannatu uzlifat
And when the garden is brought nigh,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ
'Alimat nafsum maaa ahdarat
Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
Falaaa uqsimu bil khunnas
But nay! I swear by the stars,
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ
Al jawaaril kunnas
That run their course (and) hide themselves,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
Wallaili izaa 'as'as
And the night when it departs,
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
Wassubhi izaa tanaffas
And the morning when it brightens,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Innahoo laqawlu rasoolin kareem
Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍۢ
Zee quwwatin 'inda zil 'arshi makeen
The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
مُّطَاعٍۢ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍۢ
Mutaa'in samma ameen
One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍۢ
Wa maa saahibukum bimajnoon
And your companion is not gone mad.
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Wa laqad ra aahu bilufuqil mubeen
And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍۢ
Wa maa huwa 'alal ghaibi bidaneen
Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍۢ
Wa maa huwa biqawli shaitaanir rajeem
Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
Fa ayna tazhaboon
Whither then will you go?
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
In huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen
It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
Liman shaaa'a minkum ai yastaqeem
For him among you who pleases to go straight.
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa maa tashaaa'oona illaaa ai yashaaa 'al laahu Rabbul 'Aalameen
And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
