وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزيلُ رَبِّ العالَمينَ
And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
نَزَلَ بِهِ الرّوحُ الأَمينُ
The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down
عَلىٰ قَلبِكَ لِتَكونَ مِنَ المُنذِرينَ
Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -
بِلِسانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُبينٍ
In a clear Arabic language.
وَإِنَّهُ لَفي زُبُرِ الأَوَّلينَ
And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
أَوَلَم يَكُن لَهُم آيَةً أَن يَعلَمَهُ عُلَماءُ بَني إِسرائيلَ
And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
وَلَو نَزَّلناهُ عَلىٰ بَعضِ الأَعجَمينَ
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيهِم ما كانوا بِهِ مُؤمِنينَ
And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
كَذٰلِكَ سَلَكناهُ في قُلوبِ المُجرِمينَ
Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.
لا يُؤمِنونَ بِهِ حَتّىٰ يَرَوُا العَذابَ الأَليمَ
They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.
فَيَأتِيَهُم بَغتَةً وَهُم لا يَشعُرونَ
And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.
