Waitha almawoodatu suilat

Wa 'Idhā Al-Maw'ūdatu Su'ilat

And when the female infant buried alive is asked

Biayyi thanbin qutilat

Bi'ayyi Dhanbin Qutilat

For what sin she was killed

Waitha alssuhufu nushirat

Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa

Wa Aş-Şubĥi 'Idhā Tanaffasa

And the morning when it brightens

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

Innahu Laqawlu Rasūlin Karīmin

Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger

Dhī Qūwatin `Inda Dhī Al-`Arshi Makīnin

The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion

MutaAAin thamma ameenin

Muţā`in Thamma 'Amīnin

One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust

Wa Mā Şāĥibukum Bimajnūnin

And your companion is not gone mad

Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni

Wa Laqad Ra'āhu Bil-'Ufuqi Al-Mubīni

And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon

Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin

Wa Mā Huwa `Alá Al-Ghaybi Biđanīnin

Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer

Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin

Wa Mā Huwa Biqawli Shayţānin Rajīmin

Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan

Faayna tathhaboona

Fa'ayna Tadh/habūna

Whither then will you go

In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena

In Huwa 'Illā Dhikrun Lil`ālamīna

It is naught but a reminder for the nations

Liman Shā'a Minkum 'An Yastaqīma

For him among you who pleases to go straight

Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena

Wa Mā Tashā'ūna 'Illā 'An Yashā'a Allāhu Rabbu Al-`Ālamīna

And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds
