وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ
when Hell is made to blaze
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ
and Paradise brought near:
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ
then every soul will know what it has brought about.
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ
I swear by the planets
ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ
that recede, move, and hide,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ
by the night that descends,
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
by the dawn that softly breathes:
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ
this is the speech of a noble messenger,
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ
who possesses great strength and is held in honour by the Lord of the Throne––
مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ
he is obeyed there and worthy of trust.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٖ
Your companion is not mad:
