Surah Asy-Syu'ara' — The Poets

طٰسۤمّۤ

Ṭā Sīm Mīm.

Ṭā, Seen, Meem.

تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ

Tilka āyātul-kitābil-mubīn(i).

These are the verses of the clear Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ اَلَّا يَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ

La‘allaka bākhi‘un nafsaka allā yakūnū mu'minīn(a).

Perhaps, [O Muḥammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

اِنْ نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ اٰيَةً فَظَلَّتْ اَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خٰضِعِيْنَ

In nasya' nunazzil ‘alaihim minas-samā'i āyatan fa ẓallat a‘nāquhum lahā khāḍi‘īn(a).

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

وَمَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِيْنَ

Wa mā ya'tīhim min żikrim minar-raḥmāni muḥdaṡin illā kānū ‘anhu mu‘riḍīn(a).

And no mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوْا فَسَيَأْتِيْهِمْ اَنْۢبـٰۤؤُا مَا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

Faqad każżabū fa saya'tīhim ambā'u mā kānū bihī yastahzi'ūn(a).

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلَى الْاَرْضِ كَمْ اَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيْمٍ

Awalam yarau ilal-arḍi kam ambatnā fīhā min kulli zaujin karīm(in).

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةًۗ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

Inna fī żālika la'āyah(tan), wa mā kāna akṡaruhum mu'minīn(a).

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ ࣖ

Inna rabbaka lahuwal-‘azīzur-raḥīm(u).

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَاِذْ نَادٰى رَبُّكَ مُوْسٰٓى اَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۙ

Wa iż nādā rabbuka mūsā ani'til-qaumaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۗ اَلَا يَتَّقُوْنَ

Qauma fir‘aun(a), alā yattaqūn(a).

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allāh?"

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْٓ اَخَافُ اَنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْنِ ۗ

Qāla rabbi innī akhāfu ay yukażżibūn(i).

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

وَيَضِيْقُ صَدْرِيْ وَلَا يَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِيْ فَاَرْسِلْ اِلٰى هٰرُوْنَ

Wa yaḍīqu ṣadrī wa lā yanṭaliqu lisānī fa arsil ilā hārūn(a).

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنْۢبٌ فَاَخَافُ اَنْ يَّقْتُلُوْنِ ۚ

Wa lahum ‘alayya żambun fa akhāfu ay yaqtulūn(i).

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

قَالَ كَلَّا ۚفَاذْهَبَا بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّسْتَمِعُوْنَ ۙ

Qāla kallā, fażhabā bi'āyātinā innā ma‘akum mustami‘ūn(a).

[Allāh] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُوْلَآ اِنَّا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ

Fa'tiyā fir‘auna faqūlā innā rasūlu rabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

اَنْ اَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۗ

An arsil ma‘anā banī isrā'īl(a).

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

قَالَ اَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِيْنَا وَلِيْدًا وَّلَبِثْتَ فِيْنَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِيْنَ ۗ

Qāla alam nurabbika fīnā walīdaw wa labiṡta fīnā min ‘umurika sinīn(a).

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِيْ فَعَلْتَ وَاَنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

Wa fa‘alta fa‘latakal-latī fa‘alta wa anta minal-kāfirīn(a).

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ اِذًا وَّاَنَا۠ مِنَ الضَّاۤلِّيْنَ

Qāla fa‘altuhā iżaw wa ana minaḍ-ḍāllīn(a).

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray [i.e., ignorant].

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِيْ رَبِّيْ حُكْمًا وَّجَعَلَنِيْ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ

Fa farartu minkum lammā khiftukum fa wahaba lī rabbī ḥukmaw wa ja‘alanī minal-mursalīn(a).

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me judgement [i.e., wisdom and prophet hood] and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ اَنْ عَبَّدْتَّ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۗ

Wa tilka ni‘matun tamunnuhā ‘alayya an ‘abbatta banī isrā'īl(a).

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۗ

Qāla fir‘aunu wa mā rabbul-‘ālamīn(a).

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۗ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّوْقِنِيْنَ

Qāla rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa mā bainahumā, in kuntum mūqinīn(a).

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهٗٓ اَلَا تَسْتَمِعُوْنَ

Qāla liman ḥaulahū alā tastami‘ūn(a).

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ اٰبَاۤىِٕكُمُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

Qāla rabbukum wa rabbu ābā'ikumul-awwalīn(a).

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

قَالَ اِنَّ رَسُوْلَكُمُ الَّذِيْٓ اُرْسِلَ اِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُوْنٌ

Qāla inna rasūlakumul-lażī ursila ilaikum lamajnūn(un).

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۗ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

Qāla rabbul-masyriqi wal-magribi wa mā bainahumā, in kuntum ta‘qilūn(a).

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

قَالَ لَىِٕنِ اتَّخَذْتَ اِلٰهًا غَيْرِيْ لَاَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُوْنِيْنَ

Qāla la'inittakhażta ilāhan gairī la'aj‘alannaka minal-masjūnīn(a).

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

قَالَ اَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

Qāla awalau ji'tuka bisyai'im mubīn(in).

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you something [i.e., proof] manifest?"

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهٖٓ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

Qāla fa'ti bihī in kunta minaṣ-ṣādiqīn(a).

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

فَاَلْقٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۚ

Fa alqā ‘aṣāhu fa iżā hiya ṡu‘bānum mubīn(un).

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاۤءُ لِلنّٰظِرِيْنَ ࣖ

Wa naza‘a yadahū fa iżā hiya baiḍā'u lin-nāẓirīn(a).

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَاِ حَوْلَهٗٓ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِيْمٌ ۙ

Qāla lil-mala'i ḥaulahū inna hāżā lasāḥirun ‘alīm(un).

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

يُّرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهٖۖ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُوْنَ

Yurīdu ay yukhrijakum min arḍikum bisiḥrih(ī), fa māżā ta'murūn(a).

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

قَالُوْٓا اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِى الْمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حٰشِرِيْنَ ۙ

Qālū arjih wa akhāhu wab‘aṡ fil-madā'ini ḥāsyirīn(a).

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

يَأْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيْمٍ

Ya'tūka bikulli saḥḥārin ‘alīm(in).

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيْقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ ۙ

Fa jumi‘as-saḥaratu limīqāti yaumim ma‘lūm(in).

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

وَّقِيْلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّجْتَمِعُوْنَ ۙ

Wa qīla lin-nāsi hal antum mujtami‘ūn(a).

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate.

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ اِنْ كَانُوْا هُمُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ

La‘allanā nattabi‘us-saḥarata in kānū humul-gālibīn(a).

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوْا لِفِرْعَوْنَ اَىِٕنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ

Falammā jā'as-saḥaratu qālū lifir‘auna a'inna lanā la'ajran in kunnā naḥnul-gālibīn(a).

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ

Qāla na‘am wa innakum iżal laminal-muqarrabīn(a).

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰٓى اَلْقُوْا مَآ اَنْتُمْ مُّلْقُوْنَ

Qāla lahum mūsā alqū mā antum mulqūn(a).

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

فَاَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوْا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ

Fa alqau ḥibālahum wa ‘iṣiyyahum wa qālū bi‘izzati fir‘auna innā lanaḥnul-gālibūn(a).

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

فَاَلْقٰى مُوْسٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُوْنَ ۚ

Fa alqā mūsā ‘aṣāhu fa iżā hiya talqafu mā ya'fikūn(a).

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

فَاُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِيْنَ ۙ

Fa ulqiyas-saḥaratu sājidīn(a).

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].

قَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ

Qālū āmannā birabbil-‘ālamīn(a).

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

رَبِّ مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ

Rabbi mūsā wa hārūn(a).

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِيْرُكُمُ الَّذِيْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَۚ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ەۗ لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَيْدِيَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۚ

Qāla āmantum lahū qabla an āżana lakum, innahū lakabīrukumul-lażī ‘allamakumus-siḥr(a), fa lasaufa ta‘lamūn(a), la'uqaṭṭi‘anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilāfiw wa la'uṣallibannakum ajma'īn(a).

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

قَالُوْا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖاِنَّآ اِلٰى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَ ۚ

Qālū lā ḍair(a), innā ilā rabbinā munqalibūn(a).

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

اِنَّا نَطْمَعُ اَنْ يَّغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطٰيٰنَآ اَنْ كُنَّآ اَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۗ ࣖ

Innā naṭma‘u ay yagfira lanā rabbunā khaṭāyānā an kunnā awwalal-mu'minīn(a).

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

۞ وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسٰىٓ اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَادِيْٓ اِنَّكُمْ مُّتَّبَعُوْنَ

Wa auḥainā ilā mūsā an asri bi‘ibādī innakum muttaba‘ūn(a).

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

فَاَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى الْمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حٰشِرِيْنَ ۚ

Fa arsala fir‘aunu fil-madā'ini ḥāsyirīn(a).

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيْلُوْنَۙ

Inna hā'ulā'i lasyirzimatun qalīlūn(a).

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

وَاِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَاۤىِٕظُوْنَ ۙ

Wa innahum lanā lagā'iẓūn(a).

And indeed, they are enraging us,

وَاِنَّا لَجَمِيْعٌ حٰذِرُوْنَ ۗ

Wa innā lajamī‘un ḥāżirūn(a).

And indeed, we are a cautious society..."

فَاَخْرَجْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍ ۙ

Fa akhrajnāhum min jannātiw wa ‘uyūn(in).

So We removed them from gardens and springs

وَّكُنُوْزٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيْمٍ ۙ

Wa kunūziw wa maqāmin karīm(in).

And treasures and honorable station -

كَذٰلِكَۚ وَاَوْرَثْنٰهَا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ ۗ

Każālik(a), wa auraṡnāhā banī isrā'īl(a).

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

فَاَتْبَعُوْهُمْ مُّشْرِقِيْنَ

Fa atba‘ūhum musyriqīn(a).

So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرٰۤءَا الْجَمْعٰنِ قَالَ اَصْحٰبُ مُوْسٰٓى اِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُوْنَ ۚ

Falammā tarā'al-jam‘āni qāla aṣḥābu mūsā innā lamudrakūn(a).

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

قَالَ كَلَّا ۗاِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّيْ سَيَهْدِيْنِ

Qāla kallā, inna ma‘iya rabbī sayahdīn(i).

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

فَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسٰٓى اَنِ اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَۗ فَانْفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيْمِ ۚ

Fa auḥainā ilā mūsā aniḍrib bi‘aṣākal-baḥr(a), fanfalaqa fa kāna kullu firqin kaṭ-ṭaudil ‘aẓīm(i).

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

وَاَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْاٰخَرِيْنَ ۚ

Wa azlafnā ṡammal-ākharīn(a).

And We advanced thereto the others [i.e., the pursuers].

وَاَنْجَيْنَا مُوْسٰى وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗٓ اَجْمَعِيْنَ ۚ

Wa anjainā mūsā wa mam ma‘ahū ajma‘īn(a).

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

ثُمَّ اَغْرَقْنَا الْاٰخَرِيْنَ ۗ

Ṡumma agraqnal-ākharīn(a).

Then We drowned the others.

اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً ۗوَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ

Inna fī żālika la'āyah(tan), wa mā kāna akṡaruhum mu'minīn(a).

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ ࣖ

Wa inna rabbaka lahuwal-‘azīzur-raḥīm(u).

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَاَ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ ۘ

Watlu ‘alaihim naba'a ibrāhīm(a).

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

اِذْ قَالَ لِاَبِيْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖ مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ

Iż qāla li'abīhi wa qaumihī mā ta‘budūn(a).

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

قَالُوْا نَعْبُدُ اَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عٰكِفِيْنَ

Qālū na‘budu aṣnāman fa naẓallu lahā ‘ākifīn(a).

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُوْنَكُمْ اِذْ تَدْعُوْنَ ۙ

Qāla hal yasma‘ūnakum iż tad‘ūn(a).

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

اَوْ يَنْفَعُوْنَكُمْ اَوْ يَضُرُّوْنَ

Au yanfa‘ūnakum au yaḍurrūn(a).

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

قَالُوْا بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ اٰبَاۤءَنَا كَذٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُوْنَ

Qālū bal wajadnā ābā'anā każālika yaf‘alūn(a).

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

قَالَ اَفَرَءَيْتُمْ مَّا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُوْنَ ۙ

Qāla afa ra'aitum mā kuntum ta‘budūn(a).

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَاۤؤُكُمُ الْاَقْدَمُوْنَ ۙ

Antum wa ābā'ukumul-aqdamūn(a).

You and your ancient forefathers?

فَاِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّيْٓ اِلَّا رَبَّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ

Fa innahum ‘aduwwul lī illā rabbal-‘ālamīn(a).

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

الَّذِيْ خَلَقَنِيْ فَهُوَ يَهْدِيْنِ ۙ

Allażī khalaqanī fa huwa yahdīn(i).

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

وَالَّذِيْ هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِيْ وَيَسْقِيْنِ ۙ

Wal-lażī huwa yuṭ‘imunī wa yasqīn(i).

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

وَاِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِيْنِ ۙ

Wa iżā mariḍtu fa huwa yasyfīn(i).

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

وَالَّذِيْ يُمِيْتُنِيْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيْنِ ۙ

Wal-lażī yumītunī ṡumma yuḥyīn(i).

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

وَالَّذِيْٓ اَطْمَعُ اَنْ يَّغْفِرَ لِيْ خَطِيْۤـَٔتِيْ يَوْمَ الدِّيْنِ ۗ

Wal-lażī aṭma‘u ay yagfira lī khaṭī'atī yaumad-dīn(i).

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

رَبِّ هَبْ لِيْ حُكْمًا وَّاَلْحِقْنِيْ بِالصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۙ

Rabbi hab lī ḥukmaw wa alḥiqnī biṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a).

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

وَاجْعَلْ لِّيْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى الْاٰخِرِيْنَ ۙ

Waj‘al lī lisāna ṣidqin fil-ākhirīn(a).

And grant me a mention [i.e., reputation] of honor among later generations.

وَاجْعَلْنِيْ مِنْ وَّرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيْمِ ۙ

Waj‘alnī miw waraṡati janatin na‘īm(i).

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

وَاغْفِرْ لِاَبِيْٓ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّاۤلِّيْنَ ۙ

Wagfir li'abī innahū kāna minaḍ-ḍāllīn(a).

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

وَلَا تُخْزِنِيْ يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُوْنَۙ

Wa lā tukhzinī yauma yub‘aṡūn(a).

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

يَوْمَ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَّلَا بَنُوْنَ ۙ

Yauma lā yanfa‘u māluw wa lā banūn(a).

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

اِلَّا مَنْ اَتَى اللّٰهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيْمٍ ۗ

Illā man atallāha biqalbin salīm(in).

But only one who comes to Allāh with a sound heart."

وَاُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ ۙ

Wa uzlifatil-jannatu lil-muttaqīn(a).

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيْمُ لِلْغَاوِيْنَ ۙ

عَلٰى قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِيْنَ ۙ

‘Alā qalbika litakūna minal-munżirīn(a).

Upon your heart, [O Muḥammad] - that you may be of the warners -

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِيْنٍ ۗ

Bilisānin ‘arabiyyim mubīn(in).

In a clear Arabic language.

وَاِنَّهٗ لَفِيْ زُبُرِ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

Wa innahū lafī zuburil-awwalīn(a).

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

اَوَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُمْ اٰيَةً اَنْ يَّعْلَمَهٗ عُلَمٰۤؤُا بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَ

Awalam yakul lahum āyatan ay ya‘lamahū ‘ulamā'u banī isrā'īl(a).

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنٰهُ عَلٰى بَعْضِ الْاَعْجَمِيْنَ ۙ

Wa lau nazzalnāhū ‘alā ba‘ḍil-a‘jamīn(a).

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

فَقَرَاَهٗ عَلَيْهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ مُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۗ

Fa qara'ahū ‘alaihim mā kānū bihī mu'minīn(a).

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

كَذٰلِكَ سَلَكْنٰهُ فِيْ قُلُوْبِ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ ۗ

Każālika salaknāhu fī qulūbil-mujrimīn(a).

Thus have We inserted it [i.e., disbelief] into the hearts of the criminals.

لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ حَتّٰى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِيْمَ

Lā yu'minūna bihī ḥattā yarawul-‘ażābal-alīm(a).

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

فَيَأْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۙ

Fa ya'tiyahum bagtataw wa hum lā yasy‘urūn(a).

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

فَيَقُوْلُوْا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنْظَرُوْنَ ۗ

Fa yaqūlū hal naḥnu munẓarūn(a).

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

اَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَ

Afa bi‘ażābinā yasta‘jilūn(a).

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

اَفَرَءَيْتَ اِنْ مَّتَّعْنٰهُمْ سِنِيْنَ ۙ

Afa ra'aita im matta‘nāhum sinīn(a).

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

ثُمَّ جَاۤءَهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يُوْعَدُوْنَ ۙ

Ṡumma jā'ahum mā kānū yū‘adūn(a).

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

مَآ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يُمَتَّعُوْنَ ۗ

Mā agnā ‘anhum mā kānū yumatta‘ūn(a).

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَمَآ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا لَهَا مُنْذِرُوْنَ ۖ

Wa mā ahlaknā min qaryatin illā lahā munżirūn(a).

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكْرٰىۚ وَمَا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ

Żikrā, wa mā kunnā ẓālimīn(a).

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيٰطِيْنُ

Wa mā tanazzalat bihisy-syayāṭīn(u).

And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.

وَمَا يَنْۢبَغِيْ لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ ۗ

Wa mā yambagī lahum wa mā yastaṭī‘ūn(a).

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

اِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُوْلُوْنَ ۗ

Innahum ‘anis-sam‘i lama‘zūlūn(a).

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِيْنَ

Falā tad‘u ma‘allāhi ilāhan ākhara fa takūna minal-mu‘ażżabīn(a).

So do not invoke with Allāh another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

وَاَنْذِرْ عَشِيْرَتَكَ الْاَقْرَبِيْنَ ۙ

Wa anżir ‘asyīratakal-aqrabīn(a).

And warn, [O Muḥammad], your closest kindred.

وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۚ

Wakhfiḍ janāḥaka limanittaba‘aka minal-mu'minīn(a).

And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.

فَاِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ اِنِّيْ بَرِيْۤءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۚ

Fa in ‘aṣauka faqul innī barī'um mimmā ta‘malūn(a).

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيْزِ الرَّحِيْمِ ۙ

Wa tawakkal ‘alal-‘azīzir-raḥīm(i).

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

الَّذِيْ يَرٰىكَ حِيْنَ تَقُوْمُ

Allażī yarāka ḥīna taqūm(u).

Who sees you when you arise

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى السّٰجِدِيْنَ

Wa taqallubaka fis-sājidīn(a).

And your movement among those who prostrate.

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

Innahū huwas-samī‘ul-‘alīm(u).

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

هَلْ اُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلٰى مَنْ تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيٰطِيْنُ ۗ

Hal unabbi'ukum ‘alā man tanazzalusy-syayāṭīn(u).

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلٰى كُلِّ اَفَّاكٍ اَثِيْمٍ ۙ

Tanazzalu ‘alā kulli affākin aṡīm(in).

They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُّلْقُوْنَ السَّمْعَ وَاَكْثَرُهُمْ كٰذِبُوْنَ ۗ

Yulqūnas-sam‘a wa akṡaruhum kāżibūn(a).

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

وَالشُّعَرَاۤءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوٗنَ ۗ

Wasy-syu‘arā'u yattabi‘uhumul-gāwūn(a).

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّهُمْ فِيْ كُلِّ وَادٍ يَّهِيْمُوْنَ ۙ

Alam tara annahum fī kulli wādiy yahīmūn(a).

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

وَاَنَّهُمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُوْنَ ۙ

Wa annahum yaqūlūna mā lā yaf‘alūn(a).

And that they say what they do not do? -

اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِيْرًا وَّانْتَصَرُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوْا ۗوَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْٓا اَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَّنْقَلِبُوْنَ ࣖ

Illal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa żakarullāha kaṡīraw wantaṣarū mim ba‘di mā ẓulimū, wa saya‘lamul-lażīna ẓalamū ayya munqalabiy yanqalibūn(a).

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allāh often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
