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.

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.

وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذكِرَةٌ لِلمُتَّقينَ

And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.
