تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

Tilka ʹAayaatul Kitaabil mubeen.

These are the verses of the clear Book.

لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Laʻallaka baakhiʻun nafsaka ʹallaa yakoonoo Muʹmineen.

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

إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ

ʹIn nashaʹ nunazzil ʻalayhim minas samaaaʹi ʹAayatañ faz̤̣allat ʹaʻnaaq̣uhum lahaa khaaḍiʻeen.

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 ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

Wa-maa yaʹteehim miñ Ẓikrim minar Raḥmaani muḥdas̤in ʹillaa kaanoo ʻanhu muʻriḍeen.

And no mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Faq̣ad kaẓẓaboo fasayaʹteehim ʹambaaaʹu maa- kaanoo bihee yastahziʹoon!

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

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ

ʹA-walam yaraw ʹilal ʹarḍi kam ʹambatnaa feehaa miñ kulli zawjiñ kareem?

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

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

ʹInna fee ẓaalika laʹAayah: wa-maa kaana ʹaks̤aruhum Muʹmineen.

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

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wa-ʹinna Rabbaka la-Huwal ʻAzeezur Raḥeem.

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

وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Wa-ʹiẓ naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ʹaniʹ til q̣awmaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen,

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

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

Q̣awma Firʻawn: ʹalaa yattaq̣oon?

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

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

Q̣aala Rabbi ʹinneee ʹakhaafu ʹañy yukaẓẓiboon:

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

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ

Wa-yaḍeeq̣u ṣadree wa-laa yañṭaliq̣u lisaanee faʹarsil ʹilaa Haaroon.

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

وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ

Wa-lahum ʻalayya ẓambuñ faʹakhaafu ʹañy yaq̣tuloon.

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

قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

Q̣aala kallaa! faẓhabaa biʹAayaatinaaa ʹinnaa maʻakum mustamiʻoon.

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

فَأْتِيَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Faʹtiyaa Firʻawna faq̣oolaaa ʹinnaa Rasoolu Rabbil ʻaalameen,

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

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

ʹAn ʹarsil maʻanaa Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeel.

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

قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ

Q̣aala ʹalam nurabbika feenaa waleedañw walabis̤ta feenaa min ʻumurika sineen?

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

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Wa-faʻalta faʻlatakal latee faʻalta wa-ʹañta minal kaafireen!

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

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Q̣aala faʻaltuhaaa ʹiẓañw Waʹana minaḍ ḍaaalleen.

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

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Fafarartu miñkum lam-maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee ḥukmañw wajaʻalanee minal mursaleen.

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

وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Wa-tilka niʻmatuñ tamunnuhaa ʻalayya ʹan ʻabbatta Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeel!

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

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Q̣aala Firʻawnu wa-maa Rabbul ʻaalameen?

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

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

Q̣aala Rabbus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wa-maa baynahumaa, ʹiñ kuñtum Mooq̣ineen.

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

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

Q̣aala liman ḥawlahooo ʹalaa tastamiʻoon?

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

قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Q̣aala Rabbukum wa-Rabbu ʹaabaaaʹikumul ʹawwaleen!

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

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ

Q̣aala ʹinna rasoolakumul laẓeee ʹursila ʹilaykum lamajnoon!

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

قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

Q̣aala Rabbul mashriq̣i wal-mag̣ribi wa-maa baynahumaa! ʹiñ kuñtum taʻq̣iloon!

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

قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ

Q̣aala laʹinit takhaẓta ʹilaahan g̣ayree laʹajʻalannaka minal masjooneen!

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

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ

Q̣aala ʹawalaw jiʹtuka bishayʹim mubeen?

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you something [i.e., proof] manifest?"

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

Q̣aala faʹti biheee ʹiñ kuñta minaṣ ṣaadiq̣een!

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

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ

Faʹalq̣aa ʻaṣaahu faʹiẓaa hiya s̤uʻbaanum mubeen!

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

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

Wa-nazaʻa yadahoo faʹiẓaa hiya bayḍaaaʹu linnaaz̤̣ireen!

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

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

Q̣aala lilmalaʹi ḥawlahooo ʹinna haazaa lasaaḥirun ʻaleem:

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

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

Yureedu ʹañy yukhrijakum min ʹarḍikum̃ bisiḥrihee famaaẓaa taʹmuroon?

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

قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

Q̣aalooo ʹarjih wa-ʹakhaahu wabʻas̤ fil Madaaaʹini ḥaashireen―

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

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ

Yaʹtooka bikulli saḥ-ḥaarin ʻaleem.

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

Fajumiʻas saḥaratu limeeq̣aati Yawmim maʻloom,

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

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

Wa-q̣eela linnaasi hal ʹañtum mujtamiʻoon,

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

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

Laʻallanaa nattabiʻus saḥarata ʹiñ kaanoo humul g̣aalibeen?

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

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

Falammaa jaaaʹas saḥaratu q̣aaloo li-Firʻawna ʹaʹinna lanaa laʹajran ʹiñ kunnaa naḥnul g̣aalibeen?

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 ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

Q̣aala naʻam wa-ʹinnakum ʹiẓal laminal muq̣arrabeen.

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

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

Q̣aala lahum Moosaaa ʹalq̣oo maaa ʹañtum mulq̣oon!

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

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

Faʹalq̣aw ḥibaalahum wa-ʻiṣiyyahum wa-q̣aaloo biʻizzati Firʻawna ʹinnaa lanaḥnul g̣aaliboon!

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 هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

Faʹalq̣aa Moosaa ʻaṣaahu faʹiẓaa hiya talq̣afu maa- yaʹfikoon!

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

فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ

Faʹulq̣iyas saḥaratu saajideen.

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

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Q̣aalooo ʹaamannaa bi-Rabbil ʻaalameen.

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

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ

Rabbi Moosaa wa-Haaroon.

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Q̣aala ʹaamañtum lahoo q̣abla ʹan ʹaaẓana lakum? ʹInnahoo lakabeerukumul laẓee ʻallamakumus siḥr! Falasawfa taʻlamoon! Laʹuq̣aṭṭiʻanna ʹaydiyakum wa-ʹarjulakum min khilaafiñw walaʹuṣallibannakum ʹajmaʻeen!

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., 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."

قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

Q̣aaloo laa- ḍayra ʹinnaaa ʹilaa Rabbinaa muñq̣aliboon!

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

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

ʹInnaa naṭmaʻu ʹañy yag̣fira lanaa Rabbunaa khaṭaayaanaaa ʹañ kunnaaa ʹawwalal Muʹmineen!

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

۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

Wa-ʹawḥaynaaa ʹilaa Moosaaa ʹan ʹasri biʻibaadeee ʹinnakum muttabaʻoon.

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

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ

Faʹarsala Firʻawnu fil Madaaaʹini ḥaashireen.

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ

ʹInna haaaʹulaaaʹi lashirẓimatuñ q̣aleeloon,

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

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

Wa-ʹinnahum lanaa lag̣aaaʹiz̤̣oon;

And indeed, they are enraging us,

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ

Wa-ʹinnaa lajameeʻun ḥaaẓiroon.

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

فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Faʹakhrajnaahum miñ jannaatiñw waʻuyoon,

So We removed them from gardens and springs

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

Wa-kunooziñw Wamaq̣aamiñ kareem;

And treasures and honorable station -

كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Kaẓaalik: wa-ʹawras̤naahaa Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeel.

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

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

Faʹatbaʻoohum mushriq̣een.

So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

Faalammaa taraaaʹal jamʻaani q̣aala ʹAṣḥaabu Moosaaa ʹinnaa lamudrakoon.

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

قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

Q̣aala kallaa! ʹInna maʻiya Rabbee sayahdeen!

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

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Faʹawḥaynaaa ʹilaa Moosaaa ʹaniḍ rib biʻaṣaakal baḥr. Fañfalaq̣a fakaana kullu firq̣iñ kaṭṭawdil ʻaz̤̣eem.

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 ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

Wa-ʹazlafnaa s̤ammal ʹaakhareen.

And We advanced thereto the others [i.e., the pursuers].

وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

Wa-ʹañjaynaa Moosaa wa-mam maʻahooo ʹajmaʻeen;

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

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ

S̤umma ʹag̣raq̣nal ʹaakhareen.

Then We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

ʹInna fee ẓaalika laʹAayah: wa-maa kaana ʹaks̤aruhum Muʹmineen.

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

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wa-ʹinna Rabbaka la-Huwal ʻAzeezur Raḥeem.

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

وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

Watlu ʻalayhim nabaʹa ʹIbraaheem.

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ

ʹIẓ q̣aala liʹabeehi wa-q̣awmihee maa- taʻbudoon?

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

قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ

Q̣aaloo naʻbudu ʹaṣnaamañ fanaz̤̣allu lahaa ʻaakifeen.

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

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ

Q̣aala hal yasmaʻoonakum ʹiẓ tadʻoon.

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

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ

ʹAw yañfaʻoonakum ʹaw yaḍurroon?

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

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ

Q̣aaloo bal wajadnaaa ʹaabaaaʹanaa kaẓaalika yafʻaloon.

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

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

Q̣aala ʹafaraʹaytum maa kuñtum taʻbudoon,

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

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ

ʹAñtum wa-ʹaabaaaʹukumul ʹaq̣damoon,

You and your ancient forefathers?

فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِّىٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Faʹinnahum ʻaduwwul leee ʹillaa Rabbal ʻaalameen;

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

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ

ʹAllaẓee khalaq̣anee fa-Huwa yahdeen;

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

وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ

Wallaẓee Huwa yuṭʻimunee wa-yasq̣een,

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

وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ

Wa-ʹiẓaa mariḍtu fa-Huwa yashfeen:

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

وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ

wallaẓee yumeetunee s̤umma yuḥyeen;

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

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

Wallaẓeee ʹaṭmaʻu añy yag̣fira lee khaṭeeeʹatee Yawmad Deen...

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

رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

Rabbi hab lee ḥukmañw waʹalḥiq̣nee biṣ-Ṣaaliḥeen;

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

وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Wajʻal lee lisaana ṣidq̣iñ fil ʹaakhireen;

And grant me a mention [i.e., reputation] of honor among later generations.

وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Wajʻalnee miñw waras̤ati Jannatin Naʻeem.

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

وَٱغْفِرْ لِأَبِىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Wag̣fir liʹabeee ʹinnahoo kaana minaḍ ḍaaalleen;

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

وَلَا تُخْزِنِى يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ

Wa-laa tukhzinee Yawma yubʻas̤oon;

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

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ

Yawma laa- yañfaʻu maaluñw walaa banoon,

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

إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

Illaa man ʹatal laaha biq̣albiñ saleem.

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

وَأُزْلِفَتِ ٱلْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

Wa-ʹuzlifatil Jannatu lil-Muttaq̣een,

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

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ

Wa-q̣eela lahum ʹayna maa- kuñtum taʻbudoon.

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

Miñ doonil laah? Hal yañṣuroonakum ʹaw yañtaṣiroon?

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

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

I am only a clear warner."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى كَذَّبُونِ

Q̣aala Rabbi ʹinna q̣awmee kaẓẓaboon.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ

S̤umma ʹag̣raq̣naa baʻdul baaq̣een.

Fakaẓẓaboohu faʹakhaẓahum ʻaẓaabu Yawmiz̤̣ z̤̣ullah: ʹinnahoo kaana ʻaẓaaba Yawmin ʻAz̤̣eem.

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ

Nazala bihir Rooḥul ʹAmeen.

The Trustworthy Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ

ʻAlaa q̣albika litakoona minal muñẓireen.

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

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ

Bilisaanin ʻArabiyyim mubeen.

In a clear Arabic language.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Wa-ʹinnahoo lafee Zuburil ʹawwaleen.

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

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

ʹAwalam yakul lahum ʹAayatan ʹañy yaʻlamahoo ʻulamaaaʹu Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeel?

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

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ

Wa-law nazzalnaahu ʻalaa baʻḍil ʹaʻjameen,

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

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Faq̣araʹahoo ʻalayhim maa kaanoo bihee muʹmineen.

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

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَـٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Kaẓaalika salaknaahu fee q̣uloobil mujrimeen.

Thus have We inserted it [i.e., disbelief] into the hearts of the criminals.

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

Laa- yuʹminoona bihee ḥattaa yarawul ʻaẓabal ʹaleem;

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

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Fayaʹtiyahum̃ bag̣tatañw wahum laa- yashʻuroon.

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

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Fayaq̣ooloo hal naḥnu muñz̤̣aroon.

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

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

ʹAfabiʻaẓaabinaa yastaʻjiloon?

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

ʹAfaraʹayta ʹim mattaʻnaahum sineen.

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

S̤umma jaaaʹahum maa kaanoo yooʻadoon!

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

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ

Maaa ʹag̣naa ʻanhum maa kaanoo yumattaʻoon!

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

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

Wa-maaa ʹahlaknaa miñ q̣aryatin ʹillaa lahaa muñẓiroon.

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

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ

Ẓikraa wa-maa kunnaa z̤̣aalimeen.

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

Wa-maa tanazzalat bihish shayaaṭeen;

And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

Wa-maa yambag̣ee lahum wa-maa yastaṭeeʻoon.

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

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

ʹInnahum ʻanis samʻi lamaʻzooloon.

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

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ

Falaa tadʻu maʻal laahi ʹilaahan ʹaakhara fatakoona minal muʻaẓẓabeen.

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

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ

Wa-ʹañẓir ʻasheeratakal ʹaq̣rabeen,

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

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Wakhfiḍ janaaḥaka limanit tabaʻaka minal Muʹmineen.

And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

Faʹin ʻaṣawka faq̣ul ʹinnee bareeeʹum mimmaa taʻmaloon!

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

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Wa-tawakkal ʻalal ʻAzeezir Raḥeem.

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

ʹAllaẓee yaraaka ḥeena taq̣oom,

Who sees you when you arise

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

Wa-taq̣allubaka fis saajideen.

And your movement among those who prostrate.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

ʹInnahoo Huwas Sameeʻul ʻAleem.

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ

Hal ʹunabbiʹukum ʻalaa mañ tanazzalush shayaaṭeen?

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ

Tanazzalu ʻalaa kulli ʹaffaakin ʹas̤eem,

They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ

Yulq̣oonas samʻa wa-ʹaks̤aruhum kaaẓiboon.

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

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

Washshuʻaraaaʹu yattabiʻuhumul g̣aawoon:

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

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ

ʹAlam tara ʹannahum fee kulli waadiñy yaheemoon.

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

Wa-ʹannahum yaq̣ooloona maa laa- yafʻaloon?

And that they say what they do not do? -

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ

ʹIllal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati waẓakarul laaha kas̤eerañw wañtaṣaroo mim baʻdi maa- z̤̣ulimoo. Wa-sayaʻlamul laz̤̣eena z̤̣alamooo ʹayya muñq̣alabiñy yañq̣aliboon!

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allāh 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.
