ما كَذَبَ الفُؤادُ ما رَأىٰ
The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.
أَفَتُمارونَهُ عَلىٰ ما يَرىٰ
So will you dispute with him over what he saw?
وَلَقَد رَآهُ نَزلَةً أُخرىٰ
And he certainly saw him in another descent
عِندَ سِدرَةِ المُنتَهىٰ
At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -
عِندَها جَنَّةُ المَأوىٰ
Near it is the Garden of Refuge -
إِذ يَغشَى السِّدرَةَ ما يَغشىٰ
When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].
ما زاغَ البَصَرُ وَما طَغىٰ
The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit].
لَقَد رَأىٰ مِن آياتِ رَبِّهِ الكُبرىٰ
He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
أَفَرَأَيتُمُ اللّاتَ وَالعُزّىٰ
So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza?
وَمَناةَ الثّالِثَةَ الأُخرىٰ
And Manat, the third - the other one?
أَلَكُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ الأُنثىٰ
Is the male for you and for Him the female?
