اِذَا الشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡࣕۙ‏

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَاِذَا النُّجُوۡمُ انۡكَدَرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the stars fall, dispersing

وَاِذَا الۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the mountains are removed

وَاِذَا الۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَاِذَا الۡوُحُوۡشُ حُشِرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَاِذَا الۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَاِذَا النُّفُوۡسُ زُوِّجَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the souls are paired

وَاِذَا الۡمَوۡءٗدَةُ سُئِلَتۡࣕۙ‏

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

بِاَيِّ ذَنۭۡ بٍ قُتِلَتۡۚ‏

For what sin she was killed

وَاِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the pages are made public

وَاِذَا السَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when the sky is stripped away

وَاِذَا الۡجَحِيۡمُ سُعِّرَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَاِذَا الۡجَنَّةُ اُزۡلِفَتۡࣕۙ‏

And when Paradise is brought near

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٌ مَّا٘ اَحۡضَرَتۡؕ‏

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

فَلَا٘ اُقۡسِمُ بِالۡخُنَّسِۙ‏

So I swear by the retreating stars

الۡجَوَارِ الۡكُنَّسِۙ‏

Those that run [their courses] and disappear

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا عَسۡعَسَۙ‏

And by the night as it closes in

وَالصُّبۡحِ اِذَا تَنَفَّسَۙ‏

And by the dawn when it breathes

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُوۡلٍ كَرِيۡمٍۙ‏

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

ذِيۡ قُوَّةٍ عِنۡدَ ذِي الۡعَرۡشِ مَكِيۡنٍۙ‏

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

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ اَمِيۡنٍؕ‏

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمۡ بِمَجۡنُوۡنٍۚ‏

And your companion is not [at all] mad

وَلَقَدۡ رَاٰهُ بِالۡاُفُقِ الۡمُبِيۡنِۚ‏

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَي الۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِيۡنٍۚ‏

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

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطٰنٍ رَّجِيۡمٍۙ‏

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

فَاَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُوۡنَؕ‏

So where are you going

اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۙ‏

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

لِمَنۡ شَآءَ مِنۡكُمۡ اَنۡ يَّسۡتَقِيۡمَؕ‏

For whoever wills among you to take a right course

وَمَا تَشَآءُوۡنَ اِلَّا٘ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَࣖ‏

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