بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
Wannajmi izaa hawaa
By the Star when it goes down,-
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Maa dalla saahibukum wa maa ghawaa
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
Wa maa yyantiqu 'anilhawaaa
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌۭ يُوحَىٰ
In huwa illaa Wahyuny yoohaa
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:
عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ
'Allamahoo shadeedul quwaa
He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ
Zoo mirratin fastawaa
Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);
وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Wa huwa bil ufuqil a'laa
While he was in the highest part of the horizon:
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Summa danaa fatadalla
Then he approached and came closer,
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
Fakaana qaaba qawsaini aw adnaa
And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
Fa awhaaa ilaa 'abdihee maaa awhaa
So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
Maa kazabal fu'aadu maa ra aa
The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
Afatumaaroonahoo 'alaa maayaraa
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
Wa laqad ra aahu nazlatan ukhraa
For indeed he saw him at a second descent,
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
'Inda sidratil muntaha
Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ
'Indahaa jannatul maawaa
Near it is the Garden of Abode.
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
Iz yaghshas sidrata maa yaghshaa
Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!)
مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
Maa zaaghal basaru wa maa taghaa
(His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong!
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ
Laqad ra aa min aayaati Rabbihil kubraaa
For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest!
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ
Afara'aytumul laata wal 'uzzaa
Have ye seen Lat. and 'Uzza,
وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ
Wa manaatas saalisatal ukhraa
And another, the third (goddess), Manat?
أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
A-lakumuz zakaru wa lahul unsaa
What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female?
تِلْكَ إِذًۭا قِسْمَةٌۭ ضِيزَىٰٓ
Tilka izan qismatun deezaa
Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair!
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءٌۭ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى ٱلْأَنفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّهِمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ
In hiya illaaa asmaaa'un sammaitumoohaaa antum wa aabaaa'ukum maaa anzalal laahu bihaa min sultaan; inyyattabi'oona illaz zanna wa maa tahwal anfusu wa laqad jaaa'ahum mir Rabbihimul hudaa
These are nothing but names which ye have devised,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah has sent down no authority (whatever). They follow nothing but conjecture and what their own souls desire!- Even though there has already come to them Guidance from their Lord!
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
Am lil insaani maa taman naa
Nay, shall man have (just) anything he hankers after?
فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Falillaahil aakhiratu wal oolaa
But it is to Allah that the End and the Beginning (of all things) belong.
۞ وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍۢ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ لَا تُغْنِى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن يَأْذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَرْضَىٰٓ
Wa kam mim malakin fissamaawaati laa tughnee shafaa'atuhum shai'an illaa mim ba'di anyyaazanal laahu limany yashaaa'u wa yardaa
How many-so-ever be the angels in the heavens, their intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He pleases and that he is acceptable to Him.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
innal lazeena laa yu'minoona bil aakhirati la yusammoonal malaaa'ikata tasmiyatal unsaa
Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.
وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًۭٔا
Wa maa lahum bihee min 'ilmin iny yattabi'oona illaz zanna wa innaz zanna laa yughnee minal haqqi shai'aa
But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.
فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلَّا ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Fa a'rid 'am man tawallaa 'an zikrinaa wa lam yurid illal hayaatad dunyaa
Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message and desire nothing but the life of this world.
ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ
Zalika mablaghuhum minal 'ilm; inna rabbaka huwa a'lamu biman dalla 'an sabee lihee wa huwa a'lamu bimanih tadaa
That is as far as knowledge will reach them. Verily thy Lord knoweth best those who stray from His Path, and He knoweth best those who receive guidance.
Meccan
