Ash-Shu'ara الشعراء

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ طسم

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim ta sin mim

Ta, Seen, Meem.

تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ

tilka ayat al-kitab al-mubin

These are the verses of the clear Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ

la'allaka bakhin nafsaka alla yakunu mu'minin

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ

in nasha' nunazzil 'alayhim min as-sama' ayah fa-zallat a'naquhum laha khadi'in

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

wa ma ya'tihim min dhikr min ar-rahman muhdath illa kanu 'anhu mu'ridin

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَاءُ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

fa-qad kadhabu fa-sa-ya-tihim anba' ma kanu bihi yastahzi'un

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ

a-wa-lam yaraw ila al-ard kam anbatna fiha min kull zawj karim

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

inna fi dhalika la-ayatan wa-ma kana aktharuhum mu'minin

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

wa-inna rabbaka lahu al-'aziz ar-rahim

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰ أَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

wa-idh nada rabbuka Musa ani i'ti al-qawma az-zalimin

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

qawm fir'awn a-la yattaqun

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

qala rabb inna akhafu an yukadhdhibun

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَارُونَ

wa-yadiqu sadri wa-la yantaliq lisani fa-arsil ila Harun

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

wa-lahum 'alayya dhanb fa-akhaf an yaqtuluni

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَاذْهَبَا بِآيَاتِنَا ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

qala kalla fa-dhhaba bi-ayatina inna ma'akum mustami'un

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَا إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

fa'tiya fir'awna faqula inna rasul rabb al-'alamin

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

an arsil ma'ana bani isra'il

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

qala a-lam nurabbika fina walidan wa-labithta fina min 'umrika sinin

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ

wa-fa'alta fa'latak allati fa'alta wa-anta min al-kafirin

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ

qala fa'altuha idhan wa-ana min ad-dallin

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

fafarartu minkum lamma khiftukum fa-wahaba li rabbi hukm wa-ja'alani min al-mursalin

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

wa tilka ni'mah tamunnuha 'alayya an 'abbadta bani Isra'il

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

qala fir'awnu wa-ma rabb al-'alamin

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

qala rabb as-samawat wal-ard wa-ma baynahuma in kuntum muqinin

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

qala liman hawlahu a-la tastami'un

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

qala rabbukum wa-rabb aba'ikum al-awwalin

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ

qala inna rasulakum alladhi ursila ilaykum lamajnun

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

qala rabb al-mashriq wal-maghrib wa-ma baynahuma in kuntum ta'qilun

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

قَالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِي لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُونِينَ

qala la-ini ittakhadta ilahan ghayri la-aj'alannaka min al-masjunin

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُّبِينٍ

qala a-wa-law ji'tuka bi-shay'in mubin

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

qala fa'ti bihi in kunta min as-sadiqin

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ

fa-alqa 'asahu fa-idha hiya thu'ban mubin

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاءُ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ

wa-naza'a yadahu fa-idha hiya bayda' li-n-nazirin

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

qala li-l-mala' hawlahu inna hadha lasahirun 'alim

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

yurid an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihi famadha ta'murun

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ

qalu arjih wa-akhahu wa-b'ath fi al-mada'in hashirin

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ

ya'tuka bi-kulli sahharin 'alim

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

fa-jumi'a as-saharatu li-miqati yawmin ma'lum

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

wa-qila li-n-nas hal antum mujtami'un

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ

la'allana nattabi' as-saharah in kanu hum al-ghalibin

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ

fa-lamma ja'a as-saharatu qalu li-fir'awnu a-'inna lana la-ajran in kunna nahnu al-ghalibin

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ

qala na'am wa-innakum idhan lamina al-muqarrabin

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

qala lahum Musa alqu ma antum mulqun

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ

fa-alqaw hibalahum wa-'iyyahum wa-qalu bi-'izzat fir'awn inna la-hnu al-ghalibun

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

fa-alqa Musa 'asahu fa-idha hiya talqafu ma ya'fikun

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ

fa-ulqiya as-saharatu sajidin

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

qalu amanna bi-rabb al-'alamin

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ

rabb Musa wa-Harun

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

qala amantum lahu qabl an adhana lakum innahu lakabirukum alladhi 'allamakum as-sihr fa-lasawfa ta'lamun la-uqatti'anna aydiyakum wa-arjulakum min khilaf wa-la-usallibannakum ajma'in

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

qalu la dayr inna ila rabbina munqalibun

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَن كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

inna natma'u an yaghfira lana rabbuna khatayana kunna awwal al-mu'minin

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

wa-awhayna ila Musa an asri bi-'ibadi innakum muttaba'un

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ

fa-arsala fir'awnu fi al-mada'in hashirin

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

إِنَّ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ

inna ha'ula'i la-shirdhimah qalilun

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ

wa-innahum lana la-ghadhibun

And indeed, they are enraging us,

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ

wa-inna la-jami'un hadhirun

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُم مِّن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

fa-akhrajnahum min jannat wa-'uyun

So We removed them from gardens and springs

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

wa-kunuz wa-maqam karim

And treasures and honorable station -

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

kadhalika wa-awrathnaha bani Isra'il

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

fa-atba'uhum mushriqin

So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَى الْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ مُوسَىٰ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

fa-lamma tara'a al-jam'an qala ashab Musa inna lamudrakun

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ

qala kalla inna ma'iya rabbi sayahdin

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنِ اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْبَحْرَ ۖ فَانفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَالطَّوْدِ الْعَظِيمِ

fa-awhayna ila Musa ani idrib bi-'asak al-bahr fa-infalaq fa-kana kull firq ka-alkawd al-'azim

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ الْآخَرِينَ

wa-azlafna thamma al-akharin

And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ

wa-anjayna Musa wa-man ma'ahu ajma'in

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا الْآخَرِينَ

thumma aghraqna al-akharin

Then We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

inna fi dhalika la-'ayah wama kana aktharuhum mu'minin

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

wa-inna rabbaka lahu al-'aziz ar-rahim

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

wa-atlu 'alayhim naba'a Ibrahim

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

idh qala li-abihi wa-qawmihi ma ta'budun

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ

qalu na'budu asnaman fa-nazallu laha 'akifin

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ

qala hal yasma'unakum idh tad'un

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ

aw yanfa'unakum aw yadurrun

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

qalu bal wajadna aba'ana kadhalika yaf'alun

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

qala fa-ra'aytum ma kuntum ta'budun

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ

antum wa-aba'ukum al-aqdamun

You and your ancient forefathers?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّي إِلَّا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

fa-innahum 'aduwwun li illa rabb al-'alamin

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ

alladhi khalaqani fa-huwa yahdin

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ

wa-alladhi huwa yut'imini wa-yasqini

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

wa-idha maridtu fa-huwa yashfini

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

وَالَّذِي يُمِيتُنِي ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ

wa-alladhi yumituni thumma yuhyini

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

وَالَّذِي أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

wa-lladhi atma'u an yaghfira li khati'ati yawm ad-din

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

rabb hab li hukma wa-alhiqni bi-as-salihin

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

وَاجْعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

waj-'al li lisan sidq fi al-akhirin

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.

وَاجْعَلْنِي مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ

waj-'alni min warathat jannat an-na'im

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

وَاغْفِرْ لِأَبِي إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ

wa-ghfir li-'abi innahu kana min ad-dallin

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

وَلَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

wa la tukhzini yawma yub'athun

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ

yawm la yanfa'u malun wa-la banun

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

illa man ata Allah bi-qalb salim

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."

وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

wa-uzlifat al-jannah lil-muttaqin

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ

wa-burrizat al-jahim lil-ghawin

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

wa-qila lahum ayna ma kuntum ta'budun

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ

min dun Allah hal yansurunakum aw yantasirun

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"

فَكُبْكِبُوا فِيهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوُونَ

fa-kubkibu fiha hum wal-ghawun

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators

وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ

wa-junud iblis ajma'un

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

قَالُوا وَهُمْ فِيهَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ

qalu wa-hum fiha yahtasimun

They will say while they dispute therein,

تَاللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

ta-Allah in kunna la-fi dalal mubin

"By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error

إِذْ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

idh nusawwikum bi-rabb al-'alamin

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

وَمَا أَضَلَّنَا إِلَّا الْمُجْرِمُونَ

wa-ma adallana illa al-mujrimun

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَافِعِينَ

fama lana min shafi'in

So now we have no intercessors

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ

wa-la sadiq hamim

And not a devoted friend.

فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

fa-law anna lana karratan fa-nakunu min al-mu'minin

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

inna fi dhalika la-ayat wa-ma kana aktharuhum mu'minin

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

wa-inna rabbaka lahu al-'aziz ar-rahim

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

kadhdhabat qawm nuh al-mursalin

The people of Noah denied the messengers

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

idh qala lahum akhuhum nuh ala tattaqun

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

inni lakum rasul amin

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

fa-ttaqu Allah wa-ati'un

So fear Allah and obey me.

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّي ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ

فَافْتَحْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

fa-ftah bayni wa-baynahum fathan wa-najjini wa-man ma'iya min al-mu'minin

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."

فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ

إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا خُلُقُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

wa-ma nahnu bi-mu'adhdhabin

And we are not to be punished."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

fakadhdhabuhu fa-ahlaknahum inna fi dhalika la-'ayah wama kana aktharuhum mu'minin

wa-la tamassuha bi-su'in fa-ya'khudhkum 'adhab yawm 'azim

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِينَ

fa-'aqaruha fa-asbahu nadimin

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

fa-akhadhahum al-'adhab inna fi dhalika la-ayah wama kana aktharuhum mu'minin

wa-tadharun ma khalaqa lakum rabbukum min azwajikum bal antum qawm 'adun

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

So We saved him and his family, all,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ

wa-inna rabbaka lahu al-'aziz ar-rahim

wa ma as'alukum 'alayhi min ajrin in ajriya illa 'ala rabb al-'alamin

أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ

awfu al-kayl wa-la takunu min al-mukhsirin

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.

وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

wazinu bil-qistasi al-mustaqim

And weigh with an even balance.

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

wa-la tabkhasu an-nas ashya'ahum wa-la ta'thaw fi al-ard mufsidin

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالْجِبِلَّةَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

wa-ttaqu alladhi khalaqakum wal-jibbata al-awwalin

And fear He who created you and the former creation."

قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِينَ

qalu innama anta min al-musahharin

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

وَمَا أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

wa ma anta illa bashar mithluna wa-in nazunnuka lamina al-kadhibin

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ

fa-asqit 'alayna kisafan min as-sama' in kunta min as-sadiqin

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

قَالَ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

qala rabbi a'lamu bima ta'malun

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

fa-kadhdhabuhu fa-akhadhahum 'adhab yawm az-zullah innah kan 'adhab yawm 'azim

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

inna fi dhalika la-'ayah wama kana aktharuhum mu'minin

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa al-'aziz ar-rahim

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

wa-innahu la-tanzil rabb al-'alamin

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ

nazala bihi ar-ruh al-amin

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَ

'ala qalbik li-takun min al-mundhirin

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ

bi-lisan 'arabiyy mubin

In a clear Arabic language.

وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الْأَوَّلِينَ

wa-innahu lafi zubur al-awwalin

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ آيَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

a-wa-lam yakun lahum ayah an ya'lamahu 'ulama banu isra'il

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ الْأَعْجَمِينَ

wa-law nazzalnahu 'ala ba'd al-a'jamin

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ

fa-qara'ahu 'alayhim ma kanu bihi mu'minin

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

kadhlika salaknahu fi qulub al-mujrimin

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ

la yu'minun bihi hatta yaraw al-'adhab al-alim

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

fa-ya'tiyahum baghtatan wa-hum la yash'urun

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

فَيَقُولُوا هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

fayaqulu hal nahnu munzarun

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

a-bi-'adhabina yasta'jilun

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ

afa-ra'ayta in matta'nahum sinin

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

ثُمَّ جَاءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ

thumma ja'ahum ma kanu yu'adun

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ

ma aghna 'anhum ma kanu yumatta'un

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

wa ma ahlakna min qaryat illa laha mundhirun

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ

dhikra wa-ma kunna zalimin

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ

wa ma tanazzalat bihi ash-shayatin

And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

wa ma yanbaghi lahum wa ma yastati'un

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

innahum 'ani as-sam' lama'zulun

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ

fa-la tad'u ma'a Allahi ilahan akhara fa-takun min al-mu'adhdhabin

So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ

wa-andhir 'ashiratak al-aqrabin

And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.

وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

wakhfid janahak liman ittaba'aka min al-mu'minin

And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

fa-in 'asawka fa-qul inni bari' mimma ta'malun

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ

wa-tawakkal 'ala al-'aziz ar-rahim

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

alladhi yaraka hina taqum

Who sees you when you arise

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ

wa-taqallubak fi as-sajidin

And your movement among those who prostrate.

إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

innahu huwa as-sami' al-'alim

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ

hal unabbi'ukum 'ala man tanazzalu ash-shayatin

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ

tanazzalu 'ala kulli affak athim

They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ

yulqun as-sam' wa-aktharhum kadhibun

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ

wash-shu'ara yattabi'uhum al-ghawun

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ

a-lam tara annahum fi kull wadin yahimun

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

wa-annahum yaquluna ma la yaf'alun

And that they say what they do not do? -

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ

illa alladhina amanu wa-'amilu as-salihat wa-dhakaru Allah kathiran wa-intasaru min ba'di ma zulumu wa-saya'lamu alladhina zalamu ayya munqalabin yanqalibun

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
