| Nūn Wa Al-Qalami Wa Mā Yasţurūna | َ068-001 The ink - stand and the pen and all that they (the owners of the pen - the scholars) write, bear witness (to the fact that), | نُون وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ |
| Mā 'Anta Bini`mati Rabbika Bimajnūnin | َ068-002 By the grace of your Lord you are not a mad man at all. | مَا أَنْتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُون ٍ |
| Wa 'Inna Laka La'ajrāan Ghayra Mamnūnin | َ068-003 (And) most surely, there awaits you a reward never to be cut off. | وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْراً غَيْرَ مَمْنُون ٍ |
| Wa 'Innaka La`alá Khuluqin `Ažīmin | َ068-004 And you possess outstandingly high standard of moral (excellence). | وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلى خُلُقٍ عَظِيم ٍ |
| Fasatubşiru Wa Yubşirūna | َ068-005 And you shall soon know and so will these (- the disbelievers), | فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ |
| Bi'ayyyikumu Al-Maftūnu | َ068-006 As to which of you is afflicted with madness. | بِأَيّيِكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ |
| 'Inna Rabbaka Huwa 'A`lamu Biman Đalla `An Sabīlihi Wa Huwa 'A`lamu Bil-Muhtadīna | َ068-007 Surely, your Lord knows best those who go astray from His path and He (also) knows best those who follow the right guidance. | إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِه ِِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ |
| Falā Tuţi`i Al-Mukadhdhibīna | َ068-008 So do not listen to those who cry lies to (the Truth). | فَلاَ تُطِعِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ |
| Wa Ddū Law Tud/hinu Fayud/hinūna | َ068-009 They wish you to be (dishonestly) pliant (and not condemn their evil deeds in strong language) so they (too) would (in return) adopt a conciliatory attitude. | وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ |
| Wa Lā Tuţi` Kulla Ĥallāfin Mahīnin | َ068-010 Do not listen to any wretched swearer, | وَلاَ تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلاَّف ٍ مَهِين ٍ |
| Hammāzin Mashshā'in Binamīmin | َ068-011 Who is backbiter, one who goes about with slander and evil talk, | هَمَّاز ٍ مَشَّاء ٍ بِنَمِيم ٍ |
| Mannā`in Lilkhayri Mu`tadin 'Athīmin | َ068-012 Any hinderer of people from doing good, transgressor, a sinful (person). | مَنَّاع ٍ لِلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيم ٍ |
| `Utullin Ba`da Dhālika Zanīmin | َ068-013 (Nor listen to any) hard-hearted ruffian who is, above all this, utterly useless and known for mischief making, | عُتُلّ ٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيم ٍ |
| 'An Kāna Dhā Mālin Wa Banīna | َ068-014 Only because he owns wealth and (numerous) sons (and influence). | أَنْ كَانَ ذَا مَال ٍ وَبَنِينَ |
| 'Idhā Tutlá `Alayhi 'Āyātunā Qāla 'Asāţīru Al-'Awwalīna | َ068-015 When Our Messages are recited to him he says, `(These are mere) stories of the ancients (so outdated rubbish).´ | إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الأَوَّلِينَ |
| Sanasimuhu `Alá Al-Khurţūmi | َ068-016 We will soon brand him on the snout (and stigmatize him with indelible disgrace). | سَنَسِمُه ُُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ |
| 'Innā Balawnāhum Kamā Balawnā 'Aşĥāba Al-Jannati 'Idh 'Aqsamū Layaşrimunnahā Muşbiĥīna | َ068-017 (Thus) have We made these (opponents) undergo a trial just as We had made the owners of a garden undergo it when they swore (one to another) that they would pluck (all) its fruit with the next morning. | إِنَّا بَلَوْنَاهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ |
| Wa Lā Yastathnūna | َ068-018 And (they were so sure of it that) they made no reservation (for the poor and did not say, `If it be Allâh´s will´). | وَلاَ يَسْتَثْنُونَ |
| Faţāfa `Alayhā Ţā'ifun Min Rabbika Wa Hum Nā'imūna | َ068-019 So a sudden and awful visitation (a calamity) from your Lord visited it while they were asleep. | فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَائِف ٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ |
| Fa'aşbaĥat Kālşşarīmi | َ068-020 So that this (garden) became as it were a dark desolate spot whose (all) fruit had been already plucked. | فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرِيمِ |
| Fatanādaw Muşbiĥīna | َ068-021 Meanwhile they called one to another at the break of dawn, | فَتَنَادَوا مُصْبِحِينَ |
| 'Ani Aghdū `Alá Ĥarthikum 'In Kuntum Şārimīna | َ068-022 (Saying), `Go forth early at dawn to your field if you would pluck and gather the fruit.´ | أَنِ اغْدُوا عَلَى حَرْثِكُمْ إِنْ كُنتُمْ صَارِمِينَ |
| Fānţalaqū Wa Hum Yatakhāfatūna | َ068-023 So they set out talking together in low tones, | فَانطَلَقُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَافَتُونَ |
| 'An Lā Yadkhulannahā Al-Yawma `Alaykum Miskīnun | َ068-024 (Saying), `Let not a single indigent person break through you to enter this (garden) today.´ | أَنْ لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِسْكِين ٌ |
| Waghadaw `Alá Ĥardin Qādirīna | َ068-025 And they repaired to the garden early with the dawn (thinking about themselves as) having the power to shut out (the poor from entry). | وَغَدَوْا عَلَى حَرْد ٍ قَادِرِينَ |
| Falammā Ra'awhā Qālū 'Innā Lađāllūna | َ068-026 When they saw it (desolated) they said, `We have surely mistaken the way. | فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُوا إِنَّا لَضَالُّونَ |
| Bal Naĥnu Maĥrūmūna | َ068-027 `Rather we have been deprived (of all the fruit of our labour), Indeed we have lost every thing.´ | بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ |
| Qāla 'Awsaţuhum 'Alam 'Aqul Lakum Lawlā Tusabbiĥūna | َ068-028 The most upright (man) among them said, `Did I not say to you why do you not give glory (to God)?´ | قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ لَوْلاَ تُسَبِّحُونَ |
| Qālū Subĥāna Rabbinā 'Innā Kunnā Žālimīna | َ068-029 (Thereupon) they said, `Glory be to our Lord. Certainly we have been wrongdoers.´ | قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ |
| Fa'aqbala Ba`đuhum `Alá Ba`đin Yatalāwamūna | َ068-030 Then some of them turned their faces to the others, reproaching one another. | فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْض ٍ يَتَلاَوَمُونَ |
| Qālū Yā Waylanā 'Innā Kunnā Ţāghīna | َ068-031 They said, `O Woe to us! we have been, indeed, transgressors. | قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا طَاغِينَ |
| `Asá Rabbunā 'An Yubdilanā Khayrāan Minhā 'Innā 'Ilá Rabbinā Rāghibūna | َ068-032 `We hope our Lord will give us something better instead of this. To our Lord surely we turn humbly.´ | عَسَى رَبُّنَا أَنْ يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرا ً مِنْهَا إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ |
| Kadhālika Al-`Adhābu ۖ Wa La`adhābu Al-'Ākhirati 'Akbaru ۚ Law Kānū Ya`lamūna | َ068-033 Such is the punishment (for the disbelieving Makkans) in the very life and greater still is the punishment of the Hereafter, if they but understand. | كَذَلِكَ الْعَذَابُ ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ |
| 'Inna Lilmuttaqīna `Inda Rabbihim Jannāti An-Na`īmi | َ068-034 There are indeed gardens of bliss with their Lord for those (dutiful) who (carefully) guard against evil. | إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ |
| 'Afanaj`alu Al-Muslimīna Kālmujrimīna | َ068-035 Are We to treat those who submit (to Our will) as (We treat) those who sever their connection (with Us)? | أَفَنَجْعَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَالْمُجْرِمِينَ |
| Mā Lakum Kayfa Taĥkumūna | َ068-036 What is wrong with you? How (ill) you judge! | مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ |
| 'Am Lakum Kitābun Fīhi Tadrusūna | َ068-037 (O Makkans!) have you a Book wherein you read; | أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَاب ٌ فِيه ِِ تَدْرُسُونَ |
| 'Inna Lakum Fīhi Lamā Takhayyarūna | َ068-038 That you will surely have in it (- in the Hereafter) whatever you choose? | إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيه ِِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ |
| 'Am Lakum 'Aymānun `Alaynā Bālighatun 'Ilá Yawmi Al-Qiyāmati ۙ 'Inna Lakum Lamā Taĥkumūna | َ068-039 Or have you taken a covenant (which is) binding on Us till the Day of Resurrection, that you shall have there all that you ask for? | أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَانٌ عَلَيْنَا بَالِغَة ٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ |
| Salhum 'Ayyuhum Bidhālika Za`īmun | َ068-040 Ask them, which of them will vouch for that? | سَلْهُم أَيُّهُمْ بِذَلِكَ زَعِيم ٌ |
| 'Am Lahum Shurakā'u Falya'tū Bishurakā'ihim 'In Kānū Şādiqīna | َ068-041 Or have they any associate-gods (to vouch for it)? If so, (then) let them bring their associate-gods, if they are truthful. | أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ إِنْ كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ |
| Yawma Yukshafu `An Sāqin Wa Yud`awna 'Ilá As-Sujūdi Falā Yastaţī`ūna | َ068-042 On the day when there is severe affliction and the truth is laid bare and they will be called upon to prostrate (themselves), but they will not be able to do so. | يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاق ٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ |
| Khāshi`atan 'Abşāruhum Tarhaquhum Dhillatun ۖ Wa Qad Kānū Yud`awna 'Ilá As-Sujūdi Wa Hum Sālimūna | َ068-043 Their looks will be downcast and they will be overwhelmed with disgrace. (Before this state of theirs) they had been called upon to prostrate themselves (before God) while they were (still) safe and sound (but they had refused). | خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّة ٌ ۖ وَقَدْ كَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَالِمُونَ |
| Fadharnī Wa Man Yukadhdhibu Bihadhā Al-Ĥadīthi ۖ Sanastadrijuhum Min Ĥaythu Lā Ya`lamūna | َ068-044 Therefore leave Me alone to deal with those who deny this revelation. We shall overtake them (leading them to their ruin) step by step, in a manner they do not know. | فَذَرْنِي وَمَنْ يُكَذِّبُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ۖ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ |
| Wa 'Umlī Lahum ۚ 'Inna Kaydī Matīnun | َ068-045 Yet I shall give them respite (to mend their ways). Verily, My plan is invincible and firm. | وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِين ٌ |
| 'Am Tas'aluhum 'Ajrāan Fahum Min Maghramin Muthqalūna | َ068-046 (Prophet!) do you ask from them a reward (for conveying to them the Message of prophethood) so that they are weighed down by (this undue) debt (which they find hard to pay)? | أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ أَجْرا ً فَهُمْ مِنْ مَغْرَم ٍ مُثْقَلُونَ |
| 'Am `Indahumu Al-Ghaybu Fahum Yaktubūna | َ068-047 Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen so that they write it down (to judge things in its light)? | أَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ |
| Fāşbir Liĥukmi Rabbika Wa Lā Takun Kaşāĥibi Al-Ĥūti 'Idh Nādá Wa Huwa Makžūmun | َ068-048 So persevere patiently (in carrying out) the commandment of your Lord and do not behave like the Man of the big fish (- Jonah) when he called (to his Lord), and he was depressed with grief. | فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلاَ تَكُنْ كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَى وَهُوَ مَكْظُوم ٌ |
| Lawlā 'An Tadārakahu Ni`matun Min Rabbihi Lanubidha Bil-`Arā'i Wa Huwa Madhmūmun | َ068-049 Had not a gracious favour from his Lord reached him (and) saved him he would surely have been cast off on a barren tract of land while he was in this miserable plight. | لَوْلاَ أَنْ تَدَارَكَه ُُ نِعْمَة ٌ مِنْ رَبِّه ِِ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُوم ٌ |
| Fājtabāhu Rabbuhu Faja`alahu Mina Aş-Şāliĥīna | َ068-050 But his Lord chose him and made him (one) of the righteous. | فَاجْتَبَاه ُُ رَبُّه ُُ فَجَعَلَه ُُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ |
| Wa 'In Yakādu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Layuzliqūnaka Bi'abşārihim Lammā Sami`ū Adh-Dhikra Wa Yaqūlūna 'Innahu Lamajnūnun | َ068-051 Those who disbelieve would fain have dislodged you (from your God-given mission) with their (angry) looks when they heard the Reminder full of admonition (- the Qur´ân, but you were firm and steadfast). And they say, `He is certainly a mad man.´ | وَإِنْ يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّه ُُ لَمَجْنُون ٌ |
| Wa Mā Huwa 'Illā Dhikrun Lil`ālamīna | َ068-052 And (they say so although) this (Qur´ân) is nothing less than a means to rise to eminence for all nations. | وَمَا هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْر ٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ |
