which We have made as a torment for the unjust

Innaha shajaratun takhruju fee asli aljaheemi

(Zaqqum) is a tree which grows from the deepest part of hell

and its fruits are like the heads of devils

Fainnahum laakiloona minha famalioona minha albutoona

The dwellers of hell will eat that fruit and fill-up their bellies

When they both agreed and Abraham had lain down his son on the side of his face (for slaughtering)

Wa 'Innā Lanaĥnu Aş-Şāffūna

We stand in ranks (for prayer)

Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona

Wa 'Innā Lanaĥnu Al-Musabbiĥūna

and we glorify God

Wain kanoo layaqooloona

Wa 'In Kānū Layaqūlūna

Even though they (unbelievers) say

Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena

Law 'Anna `Indanā Dhikrāan Mina Al-'Awwalīna

Had we received guidance from the people living before us

Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

Lakunnā `Ibāda Allāhi Al-Mukhlaşīna

we would have certainly been sincere servants of God

Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona

Fakafarū Bihi Fasawfa Ya`lamūna

They have rejected the Quran. They will soon know the consequences (of their disbelief)

Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena

Wa Laqad Sabaqat Kalimatunā Li`ibādinā Al-Mursalīn

We decreed that Our Messenger servants

Innahum lahumu almansooroona

Innahum Lahumu Al-Manşūrūna

will certainly be victorious

Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona

Wa 'Inna Jundanā Lahumu Al-Ghālibūna

and that Our army will be triumphant

Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin

Fatawalla `Anhum Ĥattá Ĥīnin

(Muhammad), stay away from them for a while

Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona

Wa 'Abşirhum Fasawfa Yubşirūna

and watch them. They, too, will watch

AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona

Afabi`adhābinā Yasta`jilūna

Do they want to suffer Our torment immediately

Faitha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena

Fa'idhā Nazala Bisāĥatihim Fasā'a Şabāĥu Al-Mundharīna

When it descends into their courtyard, it will be terrible for those who have already been warned

Watawalla AAanhum hatta heenin

Wa Tawalla `Anhum Ĥattá Ĥīnin

Stay away from them for a while

Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona

Wa 'Abşir Fasawfa Yubşirūna

and watch. They, too, will watch

Subhana rabbika rabbi alAAizzati AAamma yasifoona

Subĥāna Rabbika Rabbi Al-`Izzati `Ammā Yaşifūna

Your Lord, the Lord of Honor, is too exalted to be considered as they describe Him

Wasalamun AAala almursaleena

Wa Salāmun `Alá Al-Mursalīna

Peace be with the Messengers (of God)

Waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena

Wa Al-Ĥamdu Lillāhi Rabbi Al-`Ālamīna

It is only God, the Lord of the Universe, who deserves all praise
