بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ ١
Itha ashshamsu kuwwirat. When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ ٢
Wa-itha annujoomu inkadarat. And when the stars fall, dispersing,
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ ٣
Wa-itha aljibalu suyyirat. And when the mountains are removed
وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ ٤
Wa-itha alAAisharu AAuttilat. And when full-term she-camels are neglected
وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ ٥
Wa-itha alwuhooshu hushirat. And when the wild beasts are gathered
وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ ٦
Wa-itha albiharu sujjirat. And when the seas are filled with flame
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ ٧
Wa-itha annufoosu zuwwijat. And when the souls are paired
وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ ٨
Wa-itha almawoodatu su-ilat. And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
بِأَيِّ ذَنۢبٖ قُتِلَتۡ ٩
Bi-ayyi thanbin qutilat. For what sin she was killed
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ ١٠
Wa-itha assuhufunushirat. And when the pages are made public
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ ١١
Wa-itha assamao kushitat. And when the sky is stripped away
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ ١٢
Wa-itha aljaheemu suAAAAirat. And when Hellfire is set ablaze
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ ١٣
Wa-itha aljannatu ozlifat. And when Paradise is brought near,
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ ١٤
AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat. A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ ١٥
Fala oqsimu bilkhunnas. So I swear by the retreating stars -
ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ ١٦
Aljawari alkunnas. Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ ١٧
Wallayli itha AAasAAas. And by the night as it closes in
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ١٨
Wassubhi ithatanaffas. And by the dawn when it breathes
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ ١٩
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareem. [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ ٢٠
Thee quwwatin AAinda theealAAarshi makeen. [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ ٢١
MutaAAin thamma ameen. Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٖ ٢٢
Wama sahibukum bimajnoon. And your companion is not [at all] mad.
وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ ٢٣
Walaqad raahu bilofuqialmubeen. And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِينٖ ٢٤
Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneen. And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٖ ٢٥
Wama huwa biqawli shaytaninrajeem. And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
فَأَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُونَ ٢٦
Faayna tathhaboon. So where are you going?
إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢٧
In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameen. It is not except a reminder to the worlds
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَسۡتَقِيمَ ٢٨
Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeem. For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢٩
Wama tashaoona illa anyashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameen. And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
