وَٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡبُرُوجِ 

CONSIDER the sky full of great constellations,

2

وَٱلۡیَوۡمِ ٱلۡمَوۡعُودِ 

and [then bethink thyself of] the promised Day,

3

وَشَاهِدࣲ وَمَشۡهُودࣲ 

and [of] Him who witnesses [all], and [of] that unto which witness is borne [by Him]!

4

قُتِلَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡأُخۡدُودِ 

THEY DESTROY [but] themselves, they who would ready a pit

5

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡوَقُودِ 

of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]!

6

إِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَیۡهَا قُعُودࣱ 

Lo! [With glee do] they contemplate that [fire],

7

وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا یَفۡعَلُونَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ شُهُودࣱ 

fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers,

8

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنۡهُمۡ إِلَّاۤ أَن یُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلۡحَمِیدِ 

whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due,

9

ٱلَّذِی لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ شَهِیدٌ 

[and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything!

10

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمۡ یَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱلۡحَرِیقِ 

Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them!
