وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ ١
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ ١
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ ٢
By the promised Day (of Judgment);
وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ ٣
By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-
قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ ٤
Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),
النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ ٥
Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:
إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ ٦
Behold! they sat over against the (fire),
وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ ٧
And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.
وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ ٨
And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-
الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ٩
Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.
