لاَ يُؤمِنُونَ بِه ِِ حَتَّى يَرَوا العَذَابَ الأَلِيمَ

They will not believe in it until they see the painful torment;

La Yu'uminūna Bihi Ĥattá Yaraw Al-`Adhaba Al-'Alima

فَيَأْتِيَهُمبَغتَة ً وَهُم لاَ يَشعُرُونَ

It shall come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not;

Faya'tiyahum Baghtatan Wa Hum La Yash`urūna

فَيَقُولُوا هَل نَحنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Then they will say: "Can we be respited?"

Fayaqūlū Hal Naĥnu Munžarūna

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَستَعجِلُونَ

Would they then wish for Our Torment to be hastened on?

'Afabi`adhabina Yasta`jilūna

أَفَرَأَيتَ إِنمَتَّعنَاهُم سِنِينَ

Tell Me, if We do let them enjoy for years,

'Afara'ayta 'In Matta`nahum Sinina

ثُمَّ جَاءَهُممَا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ

And afterwards comes to them that (punishment) which they had been promised!

Thumma Ja'ahum Ma Kanū Yū`adūna

مَا أَغنَى عَنهُممَا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ

All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them.

Ma 'Aghná `Anhum Ma Kanū Yumatta`ūna

وَمَا أَهلَكنَا مِنقَريَة ٍ إِلاَّ لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

And never did We destroy a township, but it had its warners

Wa Ma 'Ahlakna Min Qaryatin 'Illa Laha Mundhirūna

ذِكرَى وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ

By way of reminder, and We have never been unjust.

Dhikrá Wa Ma Kunna Žalimina

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَت بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ

And it is not the Shayatin (devils) who have brought it (this Qur'an) down,

Wa Ma Tanazzalat Bihi Ash-Shayaţinu

وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُم وَمَا يَستَطِيعُونَ

Neither would it suit them, nor they can (produce it).

Wa Ma Yanbaghi Lahum Wa Ma Yastaţi`ūna

إِنَّهُم عَنِ السَّمعِ لَمَعزُولُونَ

Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it.

'Innahum `Ani As-Sam`i Lama`zūlūna

فَلاَ تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَها ً آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ المُعَذَّبِينَ

So invoke not with Allah another ilah (god) lest you be among those who receive punishment.

Fala Tad`u Ma`a Allahi 'Ilahaan 'Ākhara Fatakūna Mina Al-Mu`adhdhabina

وَأَنذِر عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ

And warn your tribe (O Muhammad SAW) of near kindred.

Wa 'Andhir `Ashirataka Al-'Aqrabina

وَاخفِض جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ المُؤمِنِينَ

And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you.

Wa Akhfiđ Janaĥaka Limani Attaba`aka Mina Al-Mu'uminina

فَإِن عَصَوكَ فَقُل إِنِّي بَرِيء ٌ مِمَّا تَعمَلُونَ

Then if they disobey you, say: "I am innocent of what you do."

Fa'in `Aşawka Faqul 'Inni Bari'un Mimma Ta`malūna

وَتَوَكَّل عَلَى العَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ

And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,

Wa Tawakkal `Alá Al-`Azizi Ar-Raĥimi

الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

Who sees you (O Muhammad SAW) when you stand up (alone at night for Tahajjud prayers).

Al-Ladhi Yaraka Ĥina Taqūmu

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ

And your movements among those who fall prostrate (along with you to Allah in the five compulsory congregational prayers).

Wa Taqallubaka Fi As-Sajidina

إِنَّه ُُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ

Verily! He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.

'Innahu Huwa As-Sami`u Al-`Alimu

هَل أُنَبِّئُكُم عَلَى مَنتَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ

Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the Shayatin (devils) descend?

Hal 'Unabbi'ukum `Alá Man Tanazzalu Ash-Shayaţinu

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيم ٍ

They descend on every lying (one who tells lies), sinful person.

Tanazzalu `Alá Kulli 'Affakin 'Athimin

يُلقُونَ السَّمعَ وَأَكثَرُهُم كَاذِبُونَ

Who gives ear (to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the unseen from the angels), and most of them are liars.

Yulqūna As-Sam`a Wa 'Aktharuhum Kadhibūna

وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الغَاوُونَ

As for the poets, the erring follow them,

Wa Ash-Shu`ara'u Yattabi`uhumu Al-Ghawūna

أَلَم تَرَى أَنَّهُم فِي كُلِّ وَاد ٍ يَهِيمُونَ

See you not that they speak about every subject (praising others right or wrong) in their poetry?

'Alam Tará 'Annahum Fi Kulli Wadin Yahimūna

وَأَنَّهُم يَقُولُونَ مَا لاَ يَفعَلُونَ

And that they say what they do not do.

Wa 'Annahum Yaqūlūna Ma La Yaf`alūna

إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرا ً وَانتَصَرُوا مِنبَعدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا وَسَيَعلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَب ٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ

Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much, and reply back (in poetry) to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims). And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.
