the runners, the sinkers,
17
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
by the night swarming,
18
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
by the dawn sighing,
19
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
truly this is the word of a noble Messenger
20
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure,
21
مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
obeyed, moreover trusty.
22
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ
Your companion is not possessed;
23
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ
he truly saw him on the clear horizon;
24
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
he is not niggardly of the Unseen.
25
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ
And it is not the word of an accursed Satan;
26
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
where then are you going?
27
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ
It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings,
28
لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيمَ
for whosoever of you who would go straight;
29
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being.
