أَم عِندَهُمُ الغَيبُ فَهُم يَكتُبونَ
am ‘indahumul ghaibu fahum yaktuboon
Do they know the future, and have it recorded?
أَم عِندَهُمُ الغَيبُ فَهُم يَكتُبونَ
am ‘indahumul ghaibu fahum yaktuboon
Are they plotting and scheming? The disbelievers’ schemes backfire against them.
أَم يُريدونَ كَيدًا فَالَّذينَ كَفَروا هُمُ المَكيدونَ
am yureedoona kaidan fallazeena kafaroo humul makeedoon
Do they have another god besides God? God be glorified, far above having partners.
أَم لَهُم إِلٰهٌ غَيرُ اللَّهِ سُبحٰنَ اللَّهِ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ
am lahum ilaahun ghairul laa; subhaanal laahi ‘ammaa yushrikoon
When they see masses falling from the sky, they will say, “Piled clouds!”
وَإِن يَرَوا كِسفًا مِنَ السَّماءِ ساقِطًا يَقولوا سَحابٌ مَركومٌ
wa iny yaraw kisfam minas samaaa’i saaqitany yaqooloo sahaabum markoom
Disregard them until they meet the day in which they are struck.
فَذَرهُم حَتّىٰ يُلٰقوا يَومَهُمُ الَّذى فيهِ يُصعَقونَ
fazarhum hatta yulaaqoo yawmahumul lazee feehi yus’aqoon
On that day, their schemes will not protect them, nor will they be helped.
يَومَ لا يُغنى عَنهُم كَيدُهُم شَيـًٔا وَلا هُم يُنصَرونَ
yawma laa yughnee ‘anhum kaiduhum shai’anw wa laa hum yunsaroon
Those who transgress suffer retribution here, but most of them do not know.
وَإِنَّ لِلَّذينَ ظَلَموا عَذابًا دونَ ذٰلِكَ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ
wa inna lillazeena zalamoo ‘azaaban doona zalika wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya’lamoon
You shall steadfastly persevere in carrying out your Lord’s command – you are in our eyes – and glorify and praise your Lord when you get up.
وَاصبِر لِحُكمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعيُنِنا وَسَبِّح بِحَمدِ رَبِّكَ حينَ تَقومُ
wasbir lihukmi rabbika fa innaka bi-a’yuninaa wa sabbih bihamdi rabbika heena taqoom
Also during the night glorify Him, and at dawn as the stars fade away.
وَمِنَ الَّيلِ فَسَبِّحهُ وَإِدبٰرَ النُّجومِ
wa minal laili fasabbihhu wa idbaaran nujoom
