إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

When the sun folds

Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat

وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ

and the stars are dispersed,

Wa-itha alnnujoomu inkadarat

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

when the mountains are shifting

Wa-itha aljibalu suyyirat

وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ

and when full-term she-camels are neglected.

Wa-itha alAAisharu AAuttilat

وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

When the wild beasts are gathered,

Wa-itha alwuhooshu hushirat

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

when the seas are set aflame,

Wa-itha albiharu sujjirat

وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

when the souls are paired,

Wa-itha alnnufoosu zuwwijat

وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ

when the female baby who was buried alive is asked

Wa-itha almawoodatu su-ilat

بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ

for what sin she was killed?

Bi-ayyi thanbin qutilat

when Hell is set ablaze

Wa-itha aljaheemu suAAAAirat

وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ

when Paradise is brought into view,

Wa-itha aljannatu ozlifat

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ

every soul will then know what it has brought with it.

AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ

I swear by the planets,

Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ

the runners and sweepers,

Aljawari alkunnasi

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ

and by the night as it recedes

Waallayli itha AAasAAasa

وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

and the dawn when it breathes,

Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

this revelation is indeed the word of a honorable Messenger,

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ

endowed with strength, secure with the Lord of the Throne,

Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ

obeyed and trustworthy.

MutaAAin thamma ameenin

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ

This fellow of yours is not mad,

Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ

he has already seen him [Gabriel] in the clear horizon.

Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ

He does not withhold what is revealed to him from beyond.

Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ

And it (the Qur'an) is not the word of a devil, expelled from Heaven.

Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ

So where, then, will you go?

Faayna tathhaboona

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

It is only a reminder to all humankind

In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ

for whoever wills among you to go straight.

Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

But you cannot will, unless God, the Lord of the worlds, so wills.

Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
