اِذَا الشَّمسُ کُوِّرَت

Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَاِذَا النُّجُومُ انکَدَرَت

Waitha alnnujoomu inkadarat

And when the stars fall, dispersing

وَاِذَا الجِبَالُ سُیِّرَت

Waitha aljibalu suyyirat

And when the mountains are removed

وَاِذَا العِشَارُ عُطِّلَت

Waitha alAAisharu AAuttilat

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَاِذَا الوُحُوشُ حُشِرَت

Waitha alwuhooshu hushirat

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَاِذَا البِحَارُ سُجِّرَت

Waitha albiharu sujjirat

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَاِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَت

Waitha alnnufoosu zuwwijat

And when the souls are paired

وَاِذَا المَوءُدَۃُ سُئِلَت

Waitha almawoodatu suilat

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

بِاَیِّ ذَنب قُتِلَت

Biayyi thanbin qutilat

For what sin she was killed

وَاِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَت

Waitha alssuhufu nushirat

And when the pages are made public

وَاِذَا السَّمَآءُ کُشِطَت

Waitha alssamao kushitat

And when the sky is stripped away

وَاِذَا الجَحِیمُ سُعِّرَت

Waitha aljaheemu suAAAAirat

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَاِذَا الجَنَّۃُ اُزلِفَت

Waitha aljannatu ozlifat

And when Paradise is brought near

عَلِمَت نَفسٞ مَّآ اَحضَرَت

AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat

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

فَلَآ اُقسِمُ بِالخُنَّسِ

Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi

So I swear by the retreating stars

الجَوَارِ الکُنَّسِ

Aljawari alkunnasi

Those that run [their courses] and disappear

وَالَّیلِ اِذَا عَسعَسَ

Waallayli itha AAasAAasa

And by the night as it closes in

وَالصُّبحِ اِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa

And by the dawn when it breathes

اِنَّهُ لَقَولُ رَسُول کَرِیم

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

ذِی قُوَّۃٍ عِندَ ذِی العَرشِ مَکِین

Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

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

مُّطَاع ثَمَّ اَمِین

MutaAAin thamma ameenin

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy

وَمَا صَاحِبُکُم بِمَجنُون

Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin

And your companion is not [at all] mad

وَلَقَد رَءَاهُ بِالاُفُقِ المُبِینِ

Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَی الغَیبِ بِضَنِین

Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَولِ شَیطَن رَّجِیم

Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]

فَاَینَ تَذهَبُونَ

Faayna tathhaboona

So where are you going

اِن هُوَ اِلَّا ذِکرٞ لِّلعَلَمِینَ

In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنکُم اَن یَستَقِیمَ

Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema

For whoever wills among you to take a right course

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ اِلَّآ اَن یَشَآءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ العَلَمِینَ

Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena

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