بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَٰغِينَ
Qaaloo yaa wailanaaa innaa kunnaa taagheen
Said they: O woe to us! surely we were inordinate:
عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَٰغِبُونَ
'Asaa rabbunaaa any yubdilanaa khairam minhaaa innaaa ilaa rabbinaa raaghiboon
Maybe, our Lord will give us instead one better than it; surely to our Lord do we make our humble petition.
كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ
Kazaalikal azaab
Such is the chastisement, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is greater, did they but know!
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Inna lilmuttaqeena 'inda rabbihim jannaatin na'eem
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall have with their Lord gardens of bliss.
أَفَنَجْعَلُ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ كَٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Afanaj'alul muslimeena kalmujrimeen
What! shall We then make (that is, treat) those who submit as the guilty?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Maa lakum kaifa tahhkumoon
What has happened to you? How do you judge?
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَٰبٌۭ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ
Am lakum kitaabun feehi tadrusoon
Or have you a book wherein you read,
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ
Inna lakum feehi lamaa takhaiyaroon
That you have surely therein what you choose?
أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَٰنٌ عَلَيْنَا بَٰلِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ
Am lakum aymaanun 'alainaa baalighatun ilaa yawmil qiyaamati inna lakum lamaa tahkumoon
Or have you received from Us an agreement confirmed by an oath extending to the day of resurrection that you shall surely have what you demand?
سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ
Salhum ayyuhum bizaa lika za'eem
Ask them which of them will vouch for that,
أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ
Am lahum shurakaaa'u falyaatoo bishurakaaa 'ihim in kaanoo saadiqeen
Or have they associates if they are truthful.
يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍۢ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
Yawma yukshafu 'am saaqinw wa yud'awna ilas sujoodi falaa yastatee'oon
On the day when there shall be a severe affliction, and they shall be called upon to make obeisance, but they shall not be able,
خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۖ وَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَٰلِمُونَ
Khaashi'atan absaaruhum tarhaquhum zillatunw wa qad kaanoo yud'awna ilassujoodi wa hum saalimoon
Their looks cast down, abasement shall overtake them; and they were called upon to make obeisance indeed while yet they were safe.
فَذَرْنِى وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ ۖ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Fazarnee wa many yukazzibu bihaazal hadeesi sanastad rijuhum min haisu laa ya'lamoon
So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not:
وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ
Wa umlee lahum; inna kaidee mateen
And I do bear with them, surely My plan is firm.
أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًۭا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍۢ مُّثْقَلُونَ
Am tas'aluhum ajran fahum mim maghramim musqaloon
Or do you ask from them a reward, so that they are burdened with debt?
أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ
Am 'indahumul ghaibu fahum yaktuboon
Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down?
فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌۭ
Fasbir lihkmi rabbika wa laa takun kasaahibil boot; iz naadaa wa huwa makzoom
So wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, and be not like the companion of the fish, when he cried while he was in distress.
لَّوْلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعْمَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌۭ
Law laaa an tadaara kahoo ni'matum mir rabbihee lanubiza bil'araaa'i wa huwa mazmoom
Were it not that favor from his Lord had overtaken him, he would certainly have been cast down upon the naked Found while he was blamed.
فَٱجْتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
Fajtabaahu rabbuhoo faja'alahoo minas saaliheen
Then his Lord chose him, and He made him of the good.
وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ
Wa iny-yakaadul lazeena kafaroo la-yuzliqoonaka biabsaarihim lammaa saml'uz-Zikra wa yaqooloona innahoo lamajnoon
And those who disbelieve would almost smite you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they say: Most surely he is mad.
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa maa huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen
And it is naught but a reminder to the nations.
Meccan
