And your companion is not mad

Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ

And he, assuredly, saw him on the clear horizon

Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

It is nothing but a Reminder unto all the worlds

In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ

And you desire not a thing except that ALLAH, the Lord of the worlds, desire it
