وَاللَّيلِ إِذا عَسعَسَ

And by the night as it closes in

وَالصُّبحِ إِذا تَنَفَّسَ

And by the dawn when it breathes

إِنَّهُ لَقَولُ رَسولٍ كَريمٍ

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

ذي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي العَرشِ مَكينٍ

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

مُطاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمينٍ

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

وَلَقَد رَآهُ بِالأُفُقِ المُبينِ

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

وَما هُوَ عَلَى الغَيبِ بِضَنينٍ

And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.

وَما هُوَ بِقَولِ شَيطانٍ رَجيمٍ

And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

فَأَينَ تَذهَبونَ

So where are you going?

إِن هُوَ إِلّا ذِكرٌ لِلعالَمينَ

It is not except a reminder to the worlds
