| 1. * | BY the star-bespangled Heaven! |
| 2. * | By the promised Day! |
| 3. * | By the witness and the witnessed! |
| 4. * | Cursed the masters of the trench |
| 5. * | Of the fuel-fed fire, |
| 6. * | When they sat around it |
| 7. * | Witnesses of what they inflicted on the believers! |
| 8. * | Nor did they torment them but for their faith in God, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy: |
| 9. * | His the kingdom of the Heavens and of the Earth; and God is the witness of everything. |
| 10. * | Verily, those who vexed the believers, men and women, and repented not, doth the torment of Hell, and the torment of the burning, await. |
| 11. * | But for those who shall have believed and done the things that be right, are the Gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow. This the immense bliss! |
| 12. * | Verily, right terrible will be thy Lord's vengeance! |
| 13. * | He it is who produceth all things, and causeth them to return; |
| 14. * | And is He the Indulgent, the Loving; |
| 15. * | Possessor of the Glorious throne; |
| 16. * | Worker of that he willeth. |
| 17. * | Hath not the story reached thee of the hosts |
| 18. * | Of Pharaoh and Themoud? |
| 19. * | Nay! the infields are all for denial: |
| 20. * | But God surroundeth them from behind. |
| 21. * | Yet it is a glorious Koran, |
| 22. * | Written on the preserved Table. |
