An-Najm

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. By the star when it sets: your companion has not strayed, nor has he erred. He utters nothing from emotion — it is nothing but a revelation revealed.

ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم والٮحم ادا هوى ما صل صاحٮكم وما عوى وما ٮٮطٯ عں الهوى اں هو الا وحى ٮوحى

One of intense strength, of sound vigor, taught him,

علمه سدٮد الڡوى دو مره

then he appeared in his full stature, at the highest horizon.

ڡاسٮوى وهو ٮالاڡٯ الاعلى

Then he drew near, and bent down, until he was at the distance of two bow-lengths, or nearer.

ٮم دٮا ڡٮدلى ڡكاں ڡاٮ ڡوسٮں او ادٮى

He then revealed to His obedient one what He revealed.

ڡاوحى الى عٮده ما اوحى

The Conscience did not lie about what he saw.

ما كدٮ الڡواد ما راى

Will you then wrangle with him over what he sees?

اڡٮمروٮه على ما ٮرى

He saw him, in truth, another time, near the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary — near which lies the Garden of Refuge — when the Lote Tree was covered by what covered it.

ولڡد راه ٮرله احرى عٮد سدره المٮٮهى عٮدها حٮه الماوى اد ٮعسى السدره ما ٮعسى

The gaze did not deviate, nor did it exceed the measure.

ما راع الٮصر وما طعى

He saw, in truth, one of the greatest signs of his Guardian.

لڡد راى مں اٮٮ رٮه الكٮرى

Do you then see Al-Lat, and Al-Uzza, and Manat, the third, the other? Would the male be for you, and for Him the female?

اڡرٮٮم اللٮ والعرى ومٮوه الٮالٮه الاحرى الكم الدكر وله الاٮٮى

That, then, would be an inequitable division.

ٮلك ادا ڡسمه صٮرى

Though guidance has indeed come to them from their Guardian.

ولڡد حاهم مں رٮهم الهدى

Or does the human being get whatever he wishes?

ام للاٮسں ما ٮمٮى

For to God belong the last life and the first.

ڡلله الاحره والاولى

How many Agents are there in the heavens whose intercession avails nothing, except after God has authorized it, for whom He wills and approves.

وكم مں ملك ڡى السموٮ لا ٮعٮى سڡعٮهم سٮا الا مں ٮعد اں ٮادں الله لمں ٮسا وٮرصى

Those who do not believe in the last life surely give the Agents the attribute of the feminine.

اں الدٮں لا ٮومٮوں ٮالاحره لٮسموں الملٮكه ٮسمٮه الاٮٮى

And presumption does not avail at all against the truth.

واں الطں لا ٮعٮى مں الحٯ سٮا

So turn away from whoever has turned his back on Our Reminder and wanted nothing but the present life.

ڡاعرص عں مں ٮولى عں دكرٮا ولم ٮرد الا الحٮوه الدٮٮا

and He knows best who has let himself be guided.

وهو اعلم ٮمں اهٮدى

And to God belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, so that He may recompense those who did evil for what they did, and recompense those who did good with the best.

ولله ما ڡى السموٮ وما ڡى الارص لٮحرى الدٮں اسوا ٮما عملوا وٮحرى الدٮں احسٮوا ٮالحسٮى

He knows best who has guarded himself.

هو اعلم ٮمں اٮڡى

Have you then seen the one who turned his back, endowed little, then stopped short?

اڡرٮٮ الدى ٮولى واعطى ڡلٮلا واكدى

Does he have knowledge of what escapes the senses, so that he sees?

اعٮده علم العٮٮ ڡهو ٮرى

Or has he not been informed of what is in the chronicles of Moussa, and of Ibrahim, who was faithful: that no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another,

ام لم ٮٮٮا ٮما ڡى صحڡ موسى واٮرهٮم الدى وڡى الا ٮرر وارره ورر احرى

and that the human being will have nothing but what he has endeavoured,

واں لٮس للاٮسں الا ما سعى

and that his endeavour will soon be shown,

واں سعٮه سوڡ ٮرى

then he will be recompensed for it with the most faithful recompense,

ٮم ٮحرٮه الحرا الاوڡى

and that to your Guardian is the utmost boundary,

واں الى رٮك المٮٮهى

and that it is He who causes laughter and weeping,

واٮه هو اصحك واٮكى

and that it is He who causes death and gives life,

واٮه هو اماٮ واحٮا

and that He created the two mates, the male and the female, from a drop when it is emitted,

واٮه حلٯ الروحٮں الدكر والاٮٮى مں ٮطڡه ادا ٮمٮى

and that upon Him rests the other genesis,

واں علٮه الٮساه الاحرى

and that it is He who enriched and granted lasting possession,

واٮه هو اعٮى واڡٮى

and that it is He who is the Guardian of Sirius,

واٮه هو رٮ السعرى

for they themselves did more wrong and were more immoderate.

اٮهم كاٮوا هم اطلم واطعى

And the overturned one, He cast it down.

والموٮڡكه اهوى

Then what covered it covered it.

ڡعسٮها ما عسى

So which of your Guardian's blessings do you contend about?

ڡٮاى الا رٮك ٮٮمارى

This is a warner among the warners of old.

هدا ٮدٮر مں الٮدر الاولى

The Imminent has drawn near.

ارڡٮ الارڡه

None besides God can uncover it.

لٮس لها مں دوں الله كاسڡه

Is it then this discourse that you marvel at, laughing, not weeping, while you remain heedless?

اڡمں هدا الحدٮٮ ٮعحٮوں وٮصحكوں ولا ٮٮكوں واٮٮم سمدوں

So prostrate to God, and obey.

ڡاسحدوا لله واعٮدوا
