بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
'Alaaa an nubaddila amsaalakum wa nunshi'akum fee maa laa ta'lamoon
from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Wa laqad 'alimtumun nash atal oolaa falaw laa tazakkaroon
And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
Afara'aytum maa tahrusoon
See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
'A-antum tazra'oonahooo am nahnuz zaari'ooon
Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًۭا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
Law nashaaa'u laja'al naahu hutaaman fazaltum tafakkahoon
Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
Innaa lamughramoon
(Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
Bal nahnu mahroomoon
"Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)"
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ
Afara'aytumul maaa'allazee tashraboon
See ye the water which ye drink?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
'A-antum anzaltumoohu minal muzni am nahnul munziloon
Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًۭا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Law nashaaa'u ja'alnaahu ujaajan falaw laa tashkuroon
Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
Afara'aytumun naaral latee tooroon
See ye the Fire which ye kindle?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
'A-antum anshaatum shajaratahaaa am nahnul munshi'oon
Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَمَتَٰعًۭا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
Nahnu ja'alnaahaa tazkira tanw wa mataa'al lilmuqween
We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Fasabbih bismi Rabbikal 'azeem
Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme!
۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
Falaa uqsimu bimaawaa qi'innujoom
Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,-
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌۭ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
Wa innahoo laqasamul lawta'lamoona'azeem
And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,-
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ
Innahoo la quraanun kareem
That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable,
فِى كِتَٰبٍۢ مَّكْنُونٍۢ
Fee kitaabim maknoon
In Book well-guarded,
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
Laa yamassuhooo illal mutahharoon
Which none shall touch but those who are clean:
تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Tanzeelum mir Rabbil'aalameen
A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
Afabihaazal hadeesi antum mudhinoon
Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Wa taj'aloona rizqakum annakum tukazziboon
And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
Falaw laaa izaa balaghatil hulqoom
Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍۢ تَنظُرُونَ
Wa antum heena'izin tanzuroon
And ye the while (sit) looking on,-
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
Wa nahnu aqrabu ilaihi minkum wa laakil laa tubsiroon
But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,-
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
Falaw laaa in kuntum ghira madeeneen
Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,-
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Tarji'oonahaaa in kuntum saadiqeen
Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Fa ammaaa in kaana minal muqarrabeen
Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,
فَرَوْحٌۭ وَرَيْحَانٌۭ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍۢ
Farawhunw wa raihaa nunw wa jannatu na'eem
(There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights.
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Wa ammaaa in kaana min as haabil yameen
And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,
Meccan
