وَٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡبُرُوجِ
١By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars,
Wassamaaa'i zaatil burooj
وَٱلۡیَوۡمِ ٱلۡمَوۡعُودِ
And by the Promised Day.
And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony,
قُتِلَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡأُخۡدُودِ
(Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch
ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡوَقُودِ
Of the fuel-fed fire,
إِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَیۡهَا قُعُودࣱ
When they sat by it,
وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا یَفۡعَلُونَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ شُهُودࣱ
And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers.
وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنۡهُمۡ إِلَّاۤ أَن یُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلۡحَمِیدِ
They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise,
ٱلَّذِی لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ شَهِیدٌ
Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمۡ یَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱلۡحَرِیقِ
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتࣱ تَجۡرِی مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡكَبِیرُ
إِنَّ بَطۡشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِیدٌ
Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ یُبۡدِئُ وَیُعِیدُ
Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth,
وَهُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلۡوَدُودُ
And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
ذُو ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡمَجِیدُ
Lord of the Throne of Glory,
فَعَّالࣱ لِّمَا یُرِیدُ
Doer of what He will.
هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِیثُ ٱلۡجُنُودِ
Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts
Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud?
بَلِ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِی تَكۡذِیبࣲ
Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial
وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَاۤىِٕهِم مُّحِیطُۢ
And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them.
بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡءَانࣱ مَّجِیدࣱ
Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an.
فِی لَوۡحࣲ مَّحۡفُوظِۭ
On a guarded tablet.
