So I swear by the retreating stars -  

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ  

Those that run ˹their courses˺ and disappear -  

الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ  

And by the night as it closes in  

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ  

And by the dawn when it breathes  

وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ  

˹That˺ indeed, the Qur'an is a word ˹conveyed by˺ a noble messenger  

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ  

˹Who is˺ possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure ˹in position˺,  

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ  

Obeyed there ˹in the heavens˺ and trustworthy.  

مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ  

And your companion is not ˹at all˺ mad.  

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ  

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.  

وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ  

And Muhammad is not a withholder of ˹knowledge of˺ the unseen.  

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ  

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

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ  

So where are you going?  

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ  

It is not except a reminder to the worlds  

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ  

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.  

لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيمَ  

And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.  

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
