بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ1
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
Izash shamsu kuwwirat
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ1
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
Izash shamsu kuwwirat
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ2
And when the stars fall, dispersing,
Wa izan nujoomun kadarat
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ3
And when the mountains are removed
Wa izal jibaalu suyyirat
وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ4
And when full-term she-camels are neglected
Wa izal 'ishaaru 'uttilat
وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ5
And when the wild beasts are gathered
Wa izal wuhooshu hushirat
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ6
And when the seas are filled with flame
Wa izal bihaaru sujjirat
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ7
And when the souls are paired
Wa izan nufoosu zuwwijat
وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ8
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
Wa izal maw'oodatu su'ilat
بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْ9
For what sin she was killed
Bi ayyi zambin qutilat
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ10
And when the pages are made public
Wa izas suhufu nushirat
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ11
And when the sky is stripped away
Wa izas samaaa'u kushitat
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ12
And when Hellfire is set ablaze
Wa izal jaheemu su'-'irat
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ13
And when Paradise is brought near,
Wa izal jannatu uzlifat
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ14
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
'Alimat nafsum maaa ahdarat
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ15
So I swear by the retreating stars -
Falaaa uqsimu bil khunnas
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ16
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
Al jawaaril kunnas
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ17
And by the night as it closes in
Wallaili izaa 'as'as
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ18
And by the dawn when it breathes
Wassubhi izaa tanaffas
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ19
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
Innahoo laqawlu rasoolin kareem
ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍۢ20
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
Zee quwwatin 'inda zil 'arshi makeen
مُّطَاعٍۢ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍۢ21
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
Mutaa'in samma ameen
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍۢ22
And your companion is not [at all] mad.
Wa maa saahibukum bimajnoon
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ23
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
Wa laqad ra aahu bilufuqil mubeen
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍۢ24
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
Wa maa huwa 'alal ghaibi bidaneen
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍۢ25
And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
Wa maa huwa biqawli shaitaanir rajeem
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ26
So where are you going?
Fa ayna tazhaboon
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ27
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
In huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ28
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
Liman shaaa'a minkum ai yastaqeem
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ29
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
Wa maa tashaaa'oona illaaa ai yashaaa 'al laahu Rabbul 'Aalameen
