بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ

By the heaven adorned with big stars.

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ

And by the Day promised,

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ

Perish the fellows of the ditch,

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ

Of fire fuel-fed,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

When they sat by it

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ

And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ

Verily those who affected the believing men and the believing women, and then repented not, theirs shall be the torment of Hell, and theirs shall be the torment of burning.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ

Verily those who believed and worked righteons works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement.

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Verily the grip of thine Lord is severe.

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

Verily He! He it is who beginneth and repeateth it.

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ

And He is the Fogiving, the Loving,

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ

Lord of the Throne, the Glorious,

فَعَّالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدُ

Doer of whatsoever He intendeth.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ

Hath there come Unto thee the story of the hosts-

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud?

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ

But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial.

وَاللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ

Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ

Aye! it is a Recitation glorious,

فِي لَوْحٍ مَحْفُوظٍ

Inscribed in a tablet preserved.
