بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
Wannajmi izaa hawaa
I swear by the star when it goes down.
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Maa dalla saahibukum wa maa ghawaa
Your companion does not err, nor does he go astray;
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
Wa maa yyantiqu 'anilhawaaa
Nor does he speak out of desire.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌۭ يُوحَىٰ
In huwa illaa Wahyuny yoohaa
It is naught but revelation that is revealed,
عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ
'Allamahoo shadeedul quwaa
The Lord of Mighty Power has taught him,
ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ
Zoo mirratin fastawaa
The Lord of Strength; so he attained completion,
وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Wa huwa bil ufuqil a'laa
And he is in the highest part of the horizon.
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Summa danaa fatadalla
Then he drew near, then he bowed
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
Fakaana qaaba qawsaini aw adnaa
So he was the measure of two bows or closer still.
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
Fa awhaaa ilaa 'abdihee maaa awhaa
And He revealed to His servant what He revealed.
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
Maa kazabal fu'aadu maa ra aa
The heart was not untrue in (making him see) what he saw.
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
Afatumaaroonahoo 'alaa maayaraa
What! do you then dispute with him as to what he saw?
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
Wa laqad ra aahu nazlatan ukhraa
And certainly he saw him in another descent,
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
'Inda sidratil muntaha
At the farthest lote-tree;
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ
'Indahaa jannatul maawaa
Near which is the garden, the place to be resorted to.
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
Iz yaghshas sidrata maa yaghshaa
When that which covers covered the lote-tree;
مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
Maa zaaghal basaru wa maa taghaa
The eye did not turn aside, nor did it exceed the limit.
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ
Laqad ra aa min aayaati Rabbihil kubraaa
Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ
Afara'aytumul laata wal 'uzzaa
Have you then considered the Lat and the Uzza,
وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ
Wa manaatas saalisatal ukhraa
And Manat, the third, the last?
أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
A-lakumuz zakaru wa lahul unsaa
What! for you the males and for Him the females!
تِلْكَ إِذًۭا قِسْمَةٌۭ ضِيزَىٰٓ
Tilka izan qismatun deezaa
This indeed is an unjust division!
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
They are naught but names which you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has not sent for them any authority. They follow naught but conjecture and the low desires which (their) souls incline to; and certainly the guidance has come to them from their Lord.
أَمْ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ
Am lil insaani maa taman naa
Or shall man have what he wishes?
فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Falillaahil aakhiratu wal oolaa
Nay! for Allah is the hereafter and the former (life).
۞ 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
And how many an angel is there in the heavens whose intercession does not avail at all except after Allah has given permission to whom He pleases and chooses.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ ٱلْأُنثَىٰ
innal lazeena laa yu'minoona bil aakhirati la yusammoonal malaaa'ikata tasmiyatal unsaa
Most surely they who do not believe 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
And they have no knowledge of it; they do not follow anything but conjecture, and surely conjecture does not avail against the truth at all.
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 turn aside from him who turns his back upon Our reminder and does not desire anything but this world's life.
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 their goal of knowledge; surely your Lord knows best him who goes astray from His path and He knows best him who follows the right direction.
