بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ
Summal Jaheema sallooh
then cast him in the Fire,
ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ
Summa fee silsilatin zar'uhaa sab'oona ziraa'an faslukooh
then fasten him with a chain, seventy cubits long.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Innahoo kaana laa yu'minubillaahil 'Azeem
He would not believe in Allah, the Most Great;
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
wa laa yahuddu 'alaa ta'aamil miskeen
nor would he urge the feeding of the poor.
فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ
Falaysa lahul yawma haahunaa hameem
Today he has been left here friendless;
وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ
Wa laa ta'aamun illaa min ghisleen
and has no food except the filth from the washing of wounds,
لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ
Laa yaakuluhooo illal khati'oon
which only the sinners will eat.”
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ
Falaaa uqsimu bimaa tubsiroon
But no; I swear by what you see,
وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ
Wa maa laa tubsiroon
and by what you do not see,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Innahoo laqawlu Rasoolin kareem
that this is the speech of an honourable Messenger,
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ
Wa ma huwa biqawli shaa'ir; qaleelam maa tu'minoon
not the speech of a poet. Little do you believe!
وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Wa laa biqawli kaahin; qaleelam maa tazakkaroon
Nor is this the speech of a soothsayer. Little do you reflect!
تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Tanzeelum mir rabbil 'aalameen
It has been revealed by the Lord of the Universe.
وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ
Wa law taqawwala 'alainaa ba'dal aqaaweel
And if he [i.e., the Prophets] had forged this Discourse and thereafter ascribed it to Us,
لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ
La-akhaznaa minhu bilyameen
We would surely have seized him by the right hand,
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ
Summa laqata'naa minhul wateen
and then severed his life vein;
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ
Famaa minkum min ahadin'anhu haajizeen
and not one of you would have been able to withhold Us from doing so.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
Wa innahoo latazkiratul lilmuttaqeen
Surely it is a Good Counsel for the God-fearing.
وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ
Wa inna lana'lamu anna minkum mukazzibeen
We certainly know that some among you will give the lie to it,
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
Wa innahu lahasratun 'alal kaafireen
and surely it will be a cause of regret for the unbelievers.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Wa innahoo lahaqqul yaqeen
Certainly it is a Truth of absolute certainty.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Fasbbih bismi Rabbikal 'Azeem
So glorify the name of your Lord Most Great.
Meccan
