Luqman

Those are upon guidance from their Guardian,

اولٮك على هدى مں رٮهم

And among mankind is he who buys distracting discourse, to lead astray from the way of God without knowledge, and who takes it in mockery;

ومں الٮاس مں ٮسٮرى لهو الحدٮٮ لٮصل عں سٮٮل الله ٮعٮر علم وٮٮحدها هروا

And when Our signs are recited to him, he turns his back, growing proud, as though he had not heard them, as though there were deafness in his ears:

وادا ٮٮلى علٮه اٮٮٮا ولى مسٮكٮرا كاں لم ٮسمعها كاں ڡى ادٮٮه وڡرا

Those who believed and did sound deeds will indeed have the gardens of bliss, abiding therein eternally —

اں الدٮں امٮوا وعملوا الصلحٮ لهم حٮٮ الٮعٮم حلدٮں ڡٮها

a promise of God, in truth;

وعد الله حڡا

He created the heavens without pillars

حلٯ السموٮ ٮعٮر عمد

that you can see;

ٮروٮها

and He cast on the earth firm anchors, lest it sway with you, and He spread upon it every kind of living being;

والڡى ڡى الارص روسى اں ٮمٮد ٮكم وٮٮ ڡٮها مں كل داٮه

This is God's creation:

هدا حلٯ الله

so show Me what those besides Him have created.

ڡاروٮى مادا حلٯ الدٮں مں دوٮه

And We certainly gave Luqman wisdom: "Be grateful to God";

ولڡد اٮٮٮا لڡمں الحكمه اں اسكر لله

and whoever acknowledges does so only for himself,

ومں ٮسكر ڡاٮما ٮسكر لٮڡسه

And when Luqman said to his son, while exhorting him, "O my little one, do not associate with God;

واد ڡال لڡمں لاٮٮه وهو ٮعطه ٮٮٮى لا ٮسرك ٮالله

And We enjoined upon the human being concerning his parents —

ووصٮٮا الاٮسں ٮولدٮه

his mother carried him, frailty upon frailty,

حملٮه امه وهٮا على وهں

and his weaning is completed within the two years that follow — :

وڡصله ڡى عامٮں

"Be grateful to Me and to your parents;

اں اسكر لى ولولدٮك

But if they strive against you to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not defer to them;

واں حهداك على اں ٮسرك ٮى ما لٮس لك ٮه علم ڡلا ٮطعهما

but accompany them in the present life in a recognized manner,

وصاحٮهما ڡى الدٮٮا معروڡا

and follow the way of one who has recourse to Me;

واٮٮع سٮٮل مں اٮاٮ الى

"O my little one, if it should be the weight of a mustard seed, and should be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, God will bring it forth,

ٮٮٮى اٮها اں ٮك مٮڡال حٮه مں حردل ڡٮكں ڡى صحره او ڡى السموٮ او ڡى الارص ٮاٮ ٮها الله

O my little one, maintain the Contact,

ٮٮٮى اڡم الصلوه

and order what is recognized,

وامر ٮالمعروڡ

and forbid what is disavowed,

واٮه عں المٮكر

and be patient with what strikes you:

واصٮر على ما اصاٮك

And do not turn your cheek away from men,

ولا ٮصعر حدك للٮاس

and do not walk upon the earth strutting:

ولا ٮمس ڡى الارص مرحا

And be moderate in your pace,

واڡصد ڡى مسٮك

and hush your voice:

واعصص مں صوٮك

Have you not seen that God has subjected to you what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, and has lavished His favors upon you, uncovered and hidden?

الم ٮروا اں الله سحر لكم ما ڡى السموٮ وما ڡى الارص واسٮع علٮكم ٮعمه طهره وٮاطٮه

And when it is said to them, "Follow what God has sent down,"

وادا ڡٮل لهم اٮٮعوا ما اٮرل الله

they say, "We rather follow what we found our ancestors upon."

ڡالوا ٮل ٮٮٮع ما وحدٮا علٮه اٮاٮا

And whoever renders his direction true to God alone, while doing good, has held firmly to the surest handhold;

ومں ٮسلم وحهه الى الله وهو محسں ڡڡد اسٮمسك ٮالعروه الوٮڡى

And whoever disowns, let not his disowning grieve you:

ومں كڡر ڡلا ٮحرٮك كڡره

to Us is their return, and We will then inform them of what they did —

الٮٮا مرحعهم ڡٮٮٮٮهم ٮما عملوا

And if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely say: "God";

ولٮں سالٮهم مں حلٯ السموٮ والارص لٮڡولں الله

say: "Praise be to God!"

ڡل الحمد لله

To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth;

لله ما ڡى السموٮ والارص

And if all the trees on the earth were pens, and the sea were reinforced, after it, by seven seas, the words of God would not be exhausted:

ولو اٮما ڡى الارص مں سحره اڡلم والٮحر ٮمده مں ٮعده سٮعه اٮحر ما ٮڡدٮ كلمٮ الله

Your creation and your raising are but as a single Self;

ما حلڡكم ولا ٮعٮكم الا كٮڡس وحده

Have you not seen that the vessels sail on the sea by the blessing of God, that He may show you some of His signs?

الم ٮر اں الڡلك ٮحرى ڡى الٮحر ٮٮعمٮ الله لٮرٮكم مں اٮٮه

And when a wave covers them like canopies, they call upon God, devoting the Law exclusively to Him;

وادا عسٮهم موح كالطلل دعوا الله محلصٮں له الدٮں

but when He saves them to dry land, some of them remain moderate;

ڡلما ٮحٮهم الى الٮر ڡمٮهم مڡٮصد

O mankind, guard yourselves toward your Guardian, and dread a day when no parent will avail his child, nor any child avail his parent at all.

ٮاٮها الٮاس اٮڡوا رٮكم واحسوا ٮوما لا ٮحرى والد عں ولده ولا مولود هو حار عں والده سٮا

God's promise is indeed truth:

اں وعد الله حٯ

so do not let the present life delude you,

ڡلا ٮعرٮكم الحٮوه الدٮٮا

God indeed has knowledge of the Hour,

اں الله عٮده علم الساعه

and sends down the saving rain,

وٮٮرل العٮٮ

and knows what is in the wombs;

وٮعلم ما ڡى الارحام

and no Self has any idea what it will earn tomorrow,

وما ٮدرى ٮڡس مادا ٮكسٮ عدا

and no Self has any idea in what land it will die;

وما ٮدرى ٮڡس ٮاى ارص ٮموٮ
