Surah Al-Haaqqa

وَمَاهُوَبِقَوْلِشَاعِرٍۢقَلِيلًۭامَّاتُؤْمِنُونَ

and is not – however little you may [be prepared to] believe it - the word of a poet;

وَلَابِقَوْلِكَاهِنٍۢقَلِيلًۭامَّاتَذَكَّرُونَ

and neither is it - however little you may [be prepared to] take it to heart - the word of a soothsayer:

تَنزِيلٌۭمِّنرَّبِّٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

[it is] a revelation from the Sustainer of all the worlds.

وَلَوْتَقَوَّلَعَلَيْنَابَعْضَٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ

Now if he [whom We have entrusted with it] had dared to attribute some [of his own] sayings unto Us,

لَأَخَذْنَامِنْهُبِٱلْيَمِينِ

We would indeed have seized him by his right hand,

ثُمَّلَقَطَعْنَامِنْهُٱلْوَتِينَ

and would indeed have cut his life-vein.

فَمَامِنكُممِّنْأَحَدٍعَنْهُحَٰجِزِينَ

and none of you could have saved him!

وَإِنَّهُۥلَتَذْكِرَةٌۭلِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

And, verily, this [Qur’an] is a reminder to all the God-conscious!

وَإِنَّالَنَعْلَمُأَنَّمِنكُممُّكَذِّبِينَ

And, behold, well do We know that among you are such as will give the lie to it:

وَإِنَّهُۥلَحَسْرَةٌعَلَىٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

yet, behold, this [rejection] will indeed become a source of bitter regret for all who deny the truth [of God's revelation] –

وَإِنَّهُۥلَحَقُّٱلْيَقِينِ

for, verily, it is truth absolute!

فَسَبِّحْبِٱسْمِرَبِّكَٱلْعَظِيمِ

Extol, then the limitless glory of thy Sustainer's mighty name!
