قالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرني إِلىٰ يَومِ يُبعَثونَ

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

قالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ المُنظَرينَ

[Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

إِلىٰ يَومِ الوَقتِ المَعلومِ

Until the Day of the time well-known."

قالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغوِيَنَّهُم أَجمَعينَ

[Iblees] said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all

إِلّا عِبادَكَ مِنهُمُ المُخلَصينَ

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

لَأَملَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنهُم أَجمَعينَ

[That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together."

قُل ما أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ وَما أَنا مِنَ المُتَكَلِّفينَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for the Qur'an any payment, and I am not of the pretentious

إِن هُوَ إِلّا ذِكرٌ لِلعالَمينَ

It is but a reminder to the worlds.

وَلَتَعلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُ بَعدَ حينٍ

And you will surely know [the truth of] its information after a time."
