إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

٣

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

And when the mountains are removed

٤

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

٥

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

And when the wild beasts are gathered

٦

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

And when the souls are paired

٨

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

٩

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ

For what sin she was killed

١٠

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

And when the pages are spread [i.e., made public]

١١

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ

And when the sky is stripped away

١٢

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

١٣

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ

And when Paradise is brought near,

١٤

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ

A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].

١٥

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ

So I swear by the retreating stars -

١٦

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ

Those that run [their courses] and disappear [i.e., set]

١٧

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ

And by the night as it closes in

١٨

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]

١٩

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel]

٢٠

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

٢١

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

٢٢

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ

And your companion [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) ] is not [at all] mad.

٢٣

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

And he has already seen him [i.e., Gabriel] in the clear horizon.

٢٤

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ

And he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.

٢٥

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ

And it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

٢٦

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

So where are you going?

٢٧

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

٢٨

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

٢٩

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And you do not will except that Allāh wills - Lord of the worlds.
