وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ ١
By the Star when it goes down,-
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
53:2
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ ٢
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
53:3
وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ ٣
Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
53:4
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ ٤
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:
53:5
عَلَّمَهُ شَدِيدُ الْقُوَىٰ ٥
He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
53:6
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَاسْتَوَىٰ ٦
Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);
53:7
وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ٧
While he was in the highest part of the horizon:
53:8
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ ٨
Then he approached and came closer,
53:9
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ ٩
And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;
53:10
فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَىٰ ١٠
So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.
