بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Wal Kitaabil Mubeen
By the Book that makes things clear;-
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
Innaaa anzalnaahu fee lailatim mubaarakah; innaa kunnaa munzireen
We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
Feehaa yufraqu kullu amrin hakeem
In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,
أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
Amram min 'indinaaa; innaa kunnaa mursileen
By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations),
رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Rahmatam mir rabbik; innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem
As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
Rabbis samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa; in kuntum mooqineen
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith.
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa yuhyee wa yumeetu Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen
There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death,- The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ
Bal hum fee shakkiny yal'aboon
Yet they play about in doubt.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Fartaqib Yawma taatis samaaa'u bidukhaanim mubeen
Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
Yaghshan naasa haazaa 'azaabun aleem
Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
Rabbanak shif 'annal 'azaaba innaa mu'minoon
(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Annaa lahumuz zikraa wa qad jaaa'ahum Rasoolum mubeen
How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them,-
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ
Summaa tawallaw 'anhu wa qaaloo mu'allamum majnoon
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
Innaa kaashiful 'azaabi qaleelaa; innakum 'aaa'indoon
We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
Yawma nabtishul batsha tal kubraa innaa muntaqimoon
One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ
Wa laqad fatannaa qablahum qawma Fir'awna wa jaaa'ahum Rasoolun kareem
We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them a messenger most honourable,
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ
An addooo ilaiya 'ibaadal laahi innee lakum Rasoolun ameen
Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of Allah: I am to you an messenger worthy of all trust;
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Wa al laa ta'loo 'alal laahi innee aateekum bisultaanim mubeen

"If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ
Fada'aa rabbahooo anna haaa'ulaaa'i qawmum mujrimoon
(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Fa asri bi'ibaadee lailan innakum muttaba'oon
(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ
Watrukil bahra rahwan innahum jundum mughraqoon
"And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Wa zuroo'inw wa maqaa min kareem
And corn-fields and noble buildings,
وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
Wa na'matin kaanoo feehaa faakiheen
And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight!
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa qawman aakhareen
Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
Famaa bakat 'alaihimus samaaa'u wal ardu wa maa kaanoo munzareen
And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again).
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
Wa laqad najjainaa Baneee Israaa'eela minal'azaabil muheen
We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment,
Meccan
