اَفَسِحْرٌ هٰذَآ اَمْ اَنْتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ

Afasiḥrun hāżā am antum lā tubṣirūn(a).

Qālū innā kunnā qablu fī ahlinā musyfiqīn(a).

They will say, "Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allāh].

فَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقٰىنَا عَذَابَ السَّمُوْمِ

Fa mannallāhu ‘alainā wa waqānā ‘ażābas-samūm(i).

So Allāh conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.

اِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلُ نَدْعُوْهُۗ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْبَرُّ الرَّحِيْمُ ࣖ

Innā kunnā min qablu nad‘ūh(u), innahū huwal-barrur-raḥīm(u).

Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

Am yaqūlūna syā‘irin natarabbaṣu bihī raibal-manūn(i).

Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time"?

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوْا فَاِنِّيْ مَعَكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُتَرَبِّصِيْنَۗ

Qul tarabbaṣū fa innī ma‘akum minal-mutarabbiṣīn(a).

Am yaqūlūna taqawwalah(ū), bal lā yu'minūn(a).

Falya'tū biḥadīṡim miṡlihī in kānū ṣādiqīn(a).

Am tas'aluhum ajran fahum mim magramim muṡqalūn(a).

اَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُوْنَۗ

Am ‘indahumul-gaibu fahum yaktubūn(a).

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

Am yurīdūna kaidā(n), fal-lażīna kafarū humul-makīdūn(a).

Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.

اَمْ لَهُمْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ ۗسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ

Am lahum ilāhun gairullāh(i), subḥānallāhi ‘ammā yusyrikūn(a).

Or have they a deity other than Allāh? Exalted is Allāh above whatever they associate with Him.

وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا كِسْفًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ سَاقِطًا يَّقُوْلُوْا سَحَابٌ مَّرْكُوْمٌ

Wa iy yarau kisfam minas-samā'i sāqiṭay yaqūlū saḥābum markūm(un).

And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتّٰى يُلٰقُوْا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِيْ فِيْهِ يُصْعَقُوْنَۙ

Fażarhum ḥattā yulāqū yaumahumul-lażī fīhi yuṣ‘aqūn(a).

So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُوْنَۗ

Yauma lā yugnī ‘anhum kaiduhum syai'aw wa lā hum yunṣarūn(a).

The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.

وَاِنَّ لِلَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا عَذَابًا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

Wa inna lil-lażīna ẓalamū ‘ażāban dūna żālika wa lākinna akṡarahum lā ya‘lamūn(a).

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.

وَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَاِنَّكَ بِاَعْيُنِنَا وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِيْنَ تَقُوْمُۙ

Waṣbir liḥukmi rabbika fa innaka bi'a‘yuninā wa sabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika ḥīna taqūm(u).

And be patient, [O Muḥammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes [i.e., sight]. And exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord when you arise

وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَاِدْبَارَ النُّجُوْمِ ࣖ

Wa minal-laili fa sabbiḥhu wa idbāran-nujūm(i).
