لا يَأكُلُهُ إِلَّا الخاطِئونَ
None will eat it except the sinners.
فَلا أُقسِمُ بِما تُبصِرونَ
So I swear by what you see
وَما لا تُبصِرونَ
And what you do not see
إِنَّهُ لَقَولُ رَسولٍ كَريمٍ
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.
وَما هُوَ بِقَولِ شاعِرٍ ۚ قَليلًا ما تُؤمِنونَ
And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
وَلا بِقَولِ كاهِنٍ ۚ قَليلًا ما تَذَكَّرونَ
Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.
تَنزيلٌ مِن رَبِّ العالَمينَ
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
وَلَو تَقَوَّلَ عَلَينا بَعضَ الأَقاويلِ
And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
لَأَخَذنا مِنهُ بِاليَمينِ
We would have seized him by the right hand;
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعنا مِنهُ الوَتينَ
Then We would have cut from him the aorta.
فَما مِنكُم مِن أَحَدٍ عَنهُ حاجِزينَ
And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
