1بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
Izash shamsu kuwwirat
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
2وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ
Wa izan nujoomun kadarat
And when the stars fall, dispersing,
3وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
Wa izal jibaalu suyyirat
And when the mountains are removed
4وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
Wa izal 'ishaaru 'uttilat
And when full-term she-camels are neglected
5وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
Wa izal wuhooshu hushirat
And when the wild beasts are gathered
6وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
Wa izal bihaaru sujjirat
And when the seas are filled with flame
7وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
Wa izan nufoosu zuwwijat
And when the souls are paired
8وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ
Wa izal maw'oodatu su'ilat
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
9بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْ
Bi ayyi zambin qutilat
For what sin she was killed
10وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
Wa izas suhufu nushirat
And when the pages are made public
11وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ
Wa izas samaaa'u kushitat
And when the sky is stripped away
12وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
Wa izal jaheemu su'-'irat
And when Hellfire is set ablaze
13وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
Wa izal jannatu uzlifat
And when Paradise is brought near,
14عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ
'Alimat nafsum maaa ahdarat
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
15فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
Falaaa uqsimu bil khunnas
So I swear by the retreating stars -
16ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ
Al jawaaril kunnas
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
17وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
Wallaili izaa 'as'as
And by the night as it closes in
18وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
Wassubhi izaa tanaffas
And by the dawn when it breathes
19إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Innahoo laqawlu rasoolin kareem
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
20ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍۢ
Zee quwwatin 'inda zil 'arshi makeen
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
21مُّطَاعٍۢ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍۢ
Mutaa'in samma ameen
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
22وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍۢ
Wa maa saahibukum bimajnoon
And your companion is not [at all] mad.
23وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Wa laqad ra aahu bilufuqil mubeen
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
24وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍۢ
Wa maa huwa 'alal ghaibi bidaneen
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
25وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍۢ
Wa maa huwa biqawli shaitaanir rajeem
And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
26فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
Fa ayna tazhaboon
So where are you going?
27إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
In huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
28لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
Liman shaaa'a minkum ai yastaqeem
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
29وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wa maa tashaaa'oona illaaa ai yashaaa 'al laahu Rabbul 'Aalameen
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
