Day 28 of 30

إِنَّ هَذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُمْ مَشْكُورًا

Surely this is a reward for you, and your striving shall be recompensed.

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنْزِيلًا

Surely We Ourselves have revealed the Quran to you revealing (it) in portions.

فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا

Therefore wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them a sinner or an ungrateful one.

وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening.

وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا

And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night.

إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا

Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا

We created them and made firm their make, and when We please We will bring in their place the likes of them by a change.

إِنَّ هَذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way.

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

And you do not please except that Allah please, surely Allah is Knowing, Wise;

يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ وَالظَّالِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا

He makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement.

وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا

I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),

فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا

By the raging hurricanes,

وَالنَّاشِرَاتِ نَشْرًا

Which scatter clouds to their destined places,

فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا

Then separate them one from another,

فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا

Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا

To clear or to warn.

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَاقِعٌ

Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.

فَإِذَا النُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ

So when the stars are made to lose their light,

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ فُرِجَتْ

And when the heaven is rent asunder,

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ

And when the mountains are carried away as dust,

وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ

And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time

لِأَيِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ

To what day is the doom fixed?

لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ

To the day of decision.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ

And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Did We not destroy the former generations?

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرِينَ

Then did We follow them up with later ones.

كَذَلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ

Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقْكُمْ مِنْ مَاءٍ مَهِينٍ

Did We not create you from contemptible water?

فَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي قَرَارٍ مَكِينٍ

Then We placed it in a secure resting-place,

إِلَى قَدَرٍ مَعْلُومٍ

Till an appointed term,

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ الْقَادِرُونَ

So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things).

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا

Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself,

أَحْيَاءً وَأَمْوَاتًا

The living and the dead,

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ شَامِخَاتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمْ مَاءً فُرَاتًا

And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water?

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى مَا كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Walk on to that which you called a lie.

انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى ظِلٍّ ذِي ثَلَاثِ شُعَبٍ

Walk on to the covering having three branches,

لَا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنَ اللَّهَبِ

Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame.

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِي بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصْرِ

Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,

كَأَنَّهُ جِمَالَتٌ صُفْرٌ

As if they were tawny camels.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

هَذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنْطِقُونَ

This is the day on which they shall not speak,

وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ

And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

هَذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ جَمَعْنَاكُمْ وَالْأَوَّلِينَ

This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore.

فَإِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيدُونِ

So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي ظِلَالٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains,

وَفَوَاكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

And fruits such as they desire.

كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.

إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

كُلُوا وَتَمَتَّعُوا قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ مُجْرِمُونَ

Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوا لَا يَرْكَعُونَ

And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that day to the rejecters.

فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ

In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe?

عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

Of what do they ask one another?

عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ

About the great event,

الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ

About which they differ?

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Nay! they shall soon come to know

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا

Have We not made the earth an even expanse?

وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

And the mountains as projections (thereon)?

وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا

And We created you in pairs,

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا

And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا

And We made the night to be a covering,

وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا

And We made the day for seeking livelihood.

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا

And We made above you seven strong ones,

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا

And We made a shining lamp,

وَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا

And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,

لِنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا

That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,

وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا

And gardens dense and luxuriant.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا

Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:

يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا

The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts,

وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا

And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,

وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا

And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا

Surely hell lies in wait,

لِلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا

A place of resort for the inordinate,

لَابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا

Living therein for ages.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا

They shall not taste therein cool nor drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا

But boiling and intensely cold water,

جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا

Requital corresponding.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا

Surely they feared not the account,

وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا

And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).

وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا

And We have recorded everything in a book,

فَذُوقُوا فَلَنْ نَزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Surely for those who guard (against evil) is achievement,

حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا

Gardens and vineyards,

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا

And voluptuous women of equal age;

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا

And a pure cup.

لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا

They shall not hear therein any vain words nor lying.

جَزَاءً مِنْ رَبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا

A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:

رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا

The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا

The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent Allah permits and who speaks the right thing.

ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ مَآبًا

That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.

إِنَّا أَنْذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنْظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ تُرَابًا

Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!

وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا

I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,

وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا

And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,

وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا

And by those who float in space,

فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا

Then those who are foremost going ahead,

فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا

Then those who regulate the affair.

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ

The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ

What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ

Their eyes cast down.

يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ

They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?

أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَخِرَةً

What! when we are rotten bones?

قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ

But it shall be only a single cry,

فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ

When lo! they shall be wakeful.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى

Has not there come to you the story of Musa?

إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,

اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى

Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

فَقُلْ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَى أَنْ تَزَكَّى

Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَى

And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.

فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَى

So he showed him the mighty sign.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَى

But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى

Then he went back hastily.

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَى

Then he gathered (men) and called out.

فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى

Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.

فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى

So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَى

Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

أَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا

Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا

He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا

And He made dark its night and brought out its light.

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَاهَا

And the earth, He expanded it after that.

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا

He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.

وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا

And the mountains, He made them firm,

مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى

But when the great predominating calamity comes;

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا سَعَى

The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَنْ يَرَى

And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

فَأَمَّا مَنْ طَغَى

Then as for him who is inordinate,

وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

And prefers the life of this world,

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى

Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى

And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى

Then surely the garden-- that is the abode.

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا

They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

فِيمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرَاهَا

About what! You are one to remind of it.

إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهَاهَا

To your Lord is the goal of it.

إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَخْشَاهَا

You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا

On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى

He frowned and turned (his) back,

أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى

Because there came to him the blind man.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى

And what would make you know that he would purify himself,

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى

Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى

As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),

فَأَنْتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى

To him do you address yourself.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّى

And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself

وَأَمَّا مَنْ جَاءَكَ يَسْعَى

And as to him who comes to you striving hard,

وَهُوَ يَخْشَى

And he fears,

فَأَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى

From him will you divert yourself.

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

Nay! surely it is an admonishment.

فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ

So let him who pleases mind it.

فِي صُحُفٍ مُكَرَّمَةٍ

In honored books,

مَرْفُوعَةٍ مُطَهَّرَةٍ

Exalted, purified,

بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ

In the hands of scribes

كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ

Noble, virtuous.

قُتِلَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ

Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!

مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ

Of what thing did He create him?

مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ

Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,

ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ

Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him)

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ

Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْشَرَهُ

Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ

Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.

فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ

Then let man look to his food,

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا

That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا

Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder,

فَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا

Then We cause to grow therein the grain,

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا

And grapes and clover,

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا

And the olive and the palm,

وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا

And thick gardens,

وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا

And fruits and herbage

مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ

But when the deafening cry comes,

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ

The day on which a man shall fly from his brother,

وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ

And his mother and his father,

وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ

And his spouse and his son--

لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ

Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْفِرَةٌ

(Many) faces on that day shall be bright,

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ

Laughing, joyous.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ

And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

Darkness shall cover them.

أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ

These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.

إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

When the sun is covered,

وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انْكَدَرَتْ

And when the stars darken,

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

And when the mountains are made to pass away,

وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ

And when the camels are left untended,

وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

And when the wild animals are made to go forth,

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

And when the seas are set on fire,

وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

And when souls are united,

وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ

And when the female infant buried alive is asked

بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ

For what sin she was killed,

وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

And when the books are spread,

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ

And when the heaven has its covering removed,

وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ

And when the hell is kindled up,

وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ

And when the garden is brought nigh,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا أَحْضَرَتْ

Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ

But nay! I swear by the stars,

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ

That run their course (and) hide themselves,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ

And the night when it departs,

وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

And the morning when it brightens,

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
