البروج

Waalssamai thati alburooji

By the sky full of constellations,

Waalyawmi almawAAoodi

and by the promised Day,

Washahidin wamashhoodin

and by the witness and the witnessed,

Qutila ashabu alukhdoodi

cursed be the makers of the trench[1],

Alnnari thati alwaqoodi

the fire full of fuel,

Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun

when they sat around it,

Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmumineena shuhoodun

and were witnessing what they did to the believers[2].

Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yuminoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi

Their only grievance against them was that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy,

Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi waAllahu AAala kulli shayin shaheedun

to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and earth, and Allah is Witness over all things.

Inna allatheena fatanoo almumineena waalmuminati thumma lam yatooboo falahum AAathabu jahannama walahum AAathabu alhareeqi

Indeed, for those who tortured the believing men and women, and then did not repent, there will be the punishment of Hell and the punishment of the burning fire[3].

Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu thalika alfawzu alkabeeru

But those who believed and did righteous deeds will certainly have gardens under which rivers flow; that is the supreme triumph.

Inna batsha rabbika lashadeedun

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is severe.

Innahu huwa yubdio wayuAAeedu

Indeed, it is He Who originates [the creation] and then resurrects all,

Wahuwa alghafooru alwadoodu

and He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Affectionate,

Thoo alAAarshi almajeedi

the Lord of the Glorious Throne;

FaAAAAalun lima yureedu

He does whatever He wills.

Hal ataka hadeethu aljunoodi

Has there not come to you the story of the forces

FirAAawna wathamooda

of Pharaoh and Thamūd?

Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheebin

But the disbelievers are in persistent denial,

WaAllahu min waraihim muheetun

although Allah encompasses them from all sides.

Bal huwa quranun majeedun

But this is a glorious Qur’an,

Fee lawhin mahfoothin

[inscribed] in a Preserved Tablet.
