سُورَةُ الشُّعَرَاءِ

Ta, Seen, Meem.

Taa-Seeen-Meeem

These are the verses of the clear Book.

Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen

Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.

La'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu'mineen

If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.

In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een

And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.

Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo 'anhu mu'rideen

For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa'u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon

Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Inn fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

Wa iz naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ani'-til qawmaz zaalimeen

The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"

Qawma Fir'awn; alaa yattaqoon

He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me

Qaala Rabbi inneee akhaafu ai yukazziboon

And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.

Wa yadeequ sadree wa laa yantaliqu lisaanee fa arsil ilaa Haaroon

And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

Wa lahum 'alaiya zambun fa akhaafu ai yaqtuloon

[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

Qaala kallaa fazhabaa bi Aayaatinaaa innaa ma'akum mustami'oon

Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,

Faatiyaa Fir'awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen

[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"

An arsil ma'anaa Baneee Israaa'eel

[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?

Qaala alam nurabbika feenaa waleedanw wa labista feenaa min 'umurika sineen

And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."

Wa fa'alta fa'latakal latee fa'alta wa anta minal kaafireen

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

Qaala fa'altuhaaa izanw wa ana minad daaaleen

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

Wa tilka ni'matun tamun nuhaa 'alaiya an 'abbatta Baneee Israaa'eel

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

Qaala Fir'awnu wa maa Rabbul 'aalameen

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

Qaala Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa in kuntum mooqineen

[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"

Qaala liman hawlahooo alaa tastami'oon

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

Qaala Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

Qaala inna Rasoolakumul lazee ursila ilaikum lamajnoon

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

Qaala Rabbul mashriqi wal maghribi wa maa baina humaa in kuntum ta'qiloon

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

Qaala la'init takhazta ilaahan ghairee la aj'alannaka minal masjooneen

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"

Qaala awalw ji'tuka bishai'im mubeen

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

Qaala faati biheee in kunta minas saadiqeen

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

Fa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaaa hiya su'baanum mubeen

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

Wa naza'a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaa zireen

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

Qaala lilmala-i hawlahooo inna haazaa lasaahirun 'aleem

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab'as filmadaaa'ini haashireen

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin 'aleem

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

Fa jumi'as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma'loom

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].

Fa ulqiyas saharatu saajideen

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

Qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbil 'aalameen

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

Rabbi Moosaa wa Haaroon

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee 'alla makumus sihra falasawfa ta'lamoon; la uqatti'anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibanna kum ajma'een

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

Innaa natma'u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunna khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu'mineen

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

Inna haaa'ulaaa'i lashir zimatun qaleeloon

And indeed, they are enraging us,

Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon

So We removed them from gardens and springs

Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

And treasures and honorable station -

Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel

So they pursued them at sunrise.

Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

Falammaa taraaa'al jam'aani qaala as haabu Moosaaa innaa lamudrakoon

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

Qaala kallaaa inna ma'iya Rabbee sa yahdeen

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi'asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil 'azeem

And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

Wa azlafnaa sammal aakhareen

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

Wa anjainaa Moosaa wa mam ma'ahooo ajma'een

Then We drowned the others.

Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaru hu mu'mineen

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

Watlu 'alaihim naba-a Ibraaheem

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

Iz qaala li abeehi wa qawmihee maa ta'budoon

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

Qaaloo na'budu asnaaman fanazallu lahaa 'aakifeen

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

Qaala hal yasma'oona kum iz tad'oon

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

Aw yanfa'oonakum aw yadurroon

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

Qaaloo bal wajadnaaa aabaaa 'anaa kazaalika yaf'aloon

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

Qaala afara 'aitum maa kuntum ta'budoon

You and your ancient forefathers?

Antum wa aabaaa'ukumul aqdamoon

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,

Fa innahum 'aduwwwul leee illaa Rabbal 'aalameen

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

Allazee khalaqanee fa Huwa yahdeen

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

Wallazee Huwa yut'imunee wa yasqeen

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

Wa izaa mardtu fahuwa yashfeen

And who will cause me to die and then bring me to life

Wallazee yumeetunee summa yuhyeen

And who I aspire that He will forgive me my sin on the Day of Recompense."

Wallazeee atma'u ai yaghfira lee khateee' atee Yawmad Deen

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.

Rabbi hab lee hukmanw wa alhiqnee bis saaliheen

And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.

Waj'al lee lisaana sidqin fil aakhireen

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure.

Waj'alnee minw warasati Jannnatin Na'eem

And forgive my father. Indeed, he has been of those astray.

Waghfir li abeee innahoo kaana mind daalleen

And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected -

Wa laa tukhzinee Yawma yub'asoon

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

Yawma laa yanfa'u maalunw wa laa banoon

But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."

Illaa man atal laaha biqalbin saleem

And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.

Wa uzlifatil Jannatu lilmuttaqeen

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

Wa burrizatil Jaheemu lilghaaween

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

Wa qeela lahum aina maa kuntum ta'budoon

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"

Min doonil laahi hal yansuroonakum aw yantasiroon

So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators

Fakubkiboo feehaa hum walghaawoon

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

Wa junoodu Ibleesa ajma'oon

They will say while they dispute therein,

Qaaloo wa hum feehaa yakkhtasimoon

"By Allah, we were indeed in manifest error

Tallaahi in kunnaa lafee dalaalim mubeen

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

Iz nusawweekum bi Rabbil 'aalameen

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

Wa maaa adallanaaa illal mujrimoon

So now we have no intercessors

Famaa lanaa min shaa fi'een

And not a devoted friend.

Wa laa sadeeqin hameem

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "

Falaw anna lanaa karratan fanakoona minal mu'mineen

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Inna fee zaalika la Aayatanw wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

The people of Noah denied the messengers

Kazzabat qawmu Noohinil Mursaleen

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Iz qaala lahum akhoohum Noohun alaa tattaqoon

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

Innee lakum Rasoolun ameen

So fear Allah and obey me.

Fattaqullaaha wa atee'oon

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Wa maaa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa 'alaa Rabbil 'aalameen

So fear Allah and obey me."

Fattaqul laaha wa atee'oon

They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"

Qaalooo anu'minu laka wattaba 'akal arzaloon

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?

Qaala wa maa 'ilmee bimaa kaanoo ya'maloon

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.

In hisaabuhum illaa 'alaa Rabbee law tash'uroon

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

Wa maaa ana bitaaridil mu'mineen

I am only a clear warner."

In ana illaa nazeerum mubeen

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."

Qaaloo la'il lam tantahi yaa Noohu latakoonanna minal marjoomeen

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.

Qaala Rabbi inna qawmee kazzaboon

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."

Faftab bainee wa bai nahum fat hanw wa najjinee wa mam ma'iya minal mu'mineen

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

Fa anjainaahu wa mamma'ahoo fil fulkil mashhoon

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

Wa jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."

Innee akhaafu 'alaikum 'azaaba Yawmin 'azeem

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.

Qaaloo sawaaa'un 'alainaaa awa 'azta am lam takum minal waa'izeen

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

In haazaaa illaa khuluqul awwaleen

And we are not to be punished."

Wa maa nahnu bimu 'azzabeen

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Fakazzaboohu fa ahlaknaahum; inna fee zaalika la aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

Fakazzaboohu fa akhazahum 'azaabu Yawmiz zullah; innahoo kaana 'azaaba Yawmin 'Azeem

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Inna fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

Wa innahoo latanzeelu Rabbil 'aalameen

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

Nazala bihir Roohul Ameen

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

'Alaa qalbika litakoona minal munzireen

In a clear Arabic language.

Bilisaanin 'Arabiyyim mubeen

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

Wa innahoo lafee Zuburil awwaleen

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

Awalam yakul lahum Aayatan ai ya'lamahoo 'ulamaaa'u Baneee Israaa'eel

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

Wa law nazzalnaahu 'alaa ba'dil a'jameen

And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

Faqara ahoo 'alaihim maa kaanoo bihee mu'mineen

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

Kazaalika salaknaahu fee quloobil mujrimeen

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

Laa yu'minoona bihee hattaa yarawul 'azaabal aleem

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

Fayaatiyahum baghtatanw wa hum laa yash'uroon

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

Fa yaqooloo hal nahnu munzaroon

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

Aafabi 'azaabinaa yasta'jiloon

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

Aara'aita im matta'naahum sineen

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

Summa jaaa'ahum maa kaanoo yoo'adoon

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

Maaa aghnaaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yumaatoo'oon

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

Wa maaa ahlaknaa min qaryatin illaa lahaa munziroon

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

Zikraa wa maa kunnaa zaalimeen

And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

Wa maa tanazzalat bihish Shayaateen

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

Wa maa yambaghee lahum wa maa yastatee'oon

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

Innahum 'anis sam'i lama'zooloon

So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

Falaa tad'u ma'al laahi ilaahan aakhara fatakoona minal mu'azzabeen

And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.

Wa anzir 'asheeratakal aqrabeen

And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.

Wakhfid janaahaka limanit taba 'aka minal mu'mineen

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

Fa in asawka faqul innee bareee'um mimmmaa ta'maloon

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

Wa tawakkal alal 'Azeezir Raheem

Who sees you when you arise

Allazee yaraaka heena taqoom

And your movement among those who prostrate.

Wa taqallubaka fis saajideen

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

Hal unabbi'ukum 'alaa man tanazzalush Shayaateen

They descend upon every sinful liar.

Tanazzalu 'alaa kulli affaakin aseem

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

Yulqoonas sam'a wa aksaruhum aaziboon

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them;

Washshu 'araaa'u yattabi 'uhumul ghaawoon

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

Alam tara annahum fee kulli waadiny yaheemoon

And that they say what they do not do? -

Wa annahum yaqooloona ma laa yaf'aloon

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.

Illal lazeena aamanoo w a'amilus saalihaati wa zakarul laaha kaseeranw wantasaroo mim ba'di maa zulimoo; wa saya'lamul lazeena zalamooo aiya munqalbiny yanqaliboon
