سورة الشعراء

26. Surah Ash-Shu'ara
The Poets

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

ṭā sīn mīm

طٰسٓمٓۜ

Ta-seen-meem

Those are the proofs of the Clear Writ.

تِلْكَ اٰيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُب۪ينِ

Tilka ayatu alkitabialmubeen

Thou mightest destroy thy soul from grief that they are not believers.

لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَفْسَكَ اَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

LaAAallaka bakhiAAun nafsaka allayakoonoo mu/mineen

If We will, We can send down upon them from the sky a proof to which their necks will remain humbled.

اِنْ نَشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ اٰيَةً فَظَلَّتْ اَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِع۪ينَ

In nasha/ nunazzil AAalayhim mina assama-iayatan fathallat aAAnaquhum lahakhadiAAeen

And there comes not to them any new remembrance from the Almighty, save they turn away therefrom.

وَمَا يَأْت۪يهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرٍ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ اِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِض۪ينَ

Wama ya/teehim min thikrin minaarrahmani muhdathin illa kanooAAanhu muAArideen

Then have they denied; and there will come to them the report of that whereat they mocked.

فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا فَسَيَأْت۪يهِمْ اَنْبٰٓؤُ۬ا مَا كَانُوا بِه۪ يَسْتَهْزِؤُ۫نَ

Faqad kaththaboo fasaya/teehim anbaoma kanoo bihi yastahzi-oon

Have they not seen the earth: how much We have caused to grow therein of every noble kind?

اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلَى الْاَرْضِ كَمْ اَنْبَتْنَا ف۪يهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَر۪يمٍ

Awa lam yaraw ila al-ardi kamanbatna feeha min kulli zawjin kareem

In that is a proof, but most of them are not believers.

اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةًۜ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatan wamakana aktharuhum mu/mineen

And thy Lord: He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الرَّح۪يمُ۟

Wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu arraheem

And when thy Lord called Moses: “Go thou to the wrongdoing people,

وَاِذْ نَادٰى رَبُّكَ مُوسٰٓى اَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِم۪ينَۙ

Wa-ith nada rabbukamoosa ani i/ti alqawma aththalimeen

“The people of Pharaoh: — will they not be in prudent fear?”

He said: “My Lord: I fear that they will deny me,

“And my breast will be straitened, and my tongue not proceed; so send Thou for Aaron.

Wayadeequ sadree walayantaliqu lisanee faarsil ila haroon

“And they have a transgression against me, so I fear that they will kill me.”

وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنْبٌ فَاَخَافُ اَنْ يَقْتُلُونِۚ

Walahum AAalayya thanbun faakhafuan yaqtuloon

He said: “By no means! Go with Our proofs; We are with you, listening.”

“‘Send thou with us the children of Israel.’”

اَنْ اَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَۜ

An arsil maAAana banee isra-eel

Said he: “Did we not bring thee up among us as a child? And thou tarriedst among us years of thy life;

Qala alam nurabbika feenawaleedan walabithta feena min AAumurika sineen

“And thou didst thy deed which thou didst, and wast of the false claimers of guidance.”

WafaAAalta faAAlataka allatee faAAaltawaanta mina alkafireen

He said: “I did it when I was of those who stray.

قَالَ فَعَلْتُـهَٓا اِذاً وَاَنَا۬ مِنَ الضَّٓالّ۪ينَۜ

Qala faAAaltuha ithanwaana mina addalleen

“And I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord gave me judgment and made me among the emissaries.

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ ل۪ي رَبّ۪ي حُكْماً وَجَعَلَن۪ي مِنَ الْمُرْسَل۪ينَ

Fafarartu minkum lamma khiftukumfawahaba lee rabbee hukman wajaAAalanee mina almursaleen

“And that favour wherewith thou reproachest me is that thou hast enslaved the children of Israel.”

فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِم۪يقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍۙ

FajumiAAa assaharatu limeeqatiyawmin maAAloom

And it was said to the people: “Will you assemble

فَلَمَّا جَٓاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ اَئِنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْراً اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِب۪ينَ

Alam tara annahum fee kulli wadinyaheemoon

And that they say what they do not?

وَاَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَۙ

Waannahum yaqooloona ma layafAAaloon

Save those who heed warning and do righteous deeds, and remember God much, and help themselves after they have been wronged; and those who do wrong will come to know to what final destination they will be returned.

اِلَّا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللّٰهَ كَث۪يراً وَانْتَصَرُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُواۜ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُٓوا اَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ
