"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Liii.: Najm, Or The Star.

Section 1

1.
WaALnnajmi itha hawa

1. By the Star

When it goes down,--

2.
Ma dalla sahibukum wama ghawa

2. Your Companion is neither

Astray nor being misled,

3. Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa

3. Nor does he say (aught)

Of (his own) Desire.

4. In huwa illa wahyun yooha

4. It is no less than

Inspiration sent down to him:


5. AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa

5. He was taught by one

Mighty in Power,

6. Thoo mirratin faIstawa

6. Endued with Wisdom:


For he appeared

(In stately form)

7. Wahuwa biAl-ofuqi al-aAAla

7. While he was in

The highest part

Of the horizon:


8. Thumma dana fatadalla

8. Then he approached

And came closer,

9. Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna

9. And was at a distance

Of but two bow-lengths

Or (even) nearer;

10.
Faawha ila AAabdihi ma awha

10.
So did (God) convey

The inspiration to His Servant--

(Conveyed) what He (meant)

To convey.

11.
Ma kathaba alfu-adu ma raa

11.
The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart

In no way falsified

That which he saw.

12.
Afatumaroonahu AAala ma yara

12.
Will ye then dispute

With him concerning

What he saw?

13.
Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra

13.
For indeed he saw him

At a second descent,

14.
AAinda sidrati almuntaha

14.
Near the Lote-tree

Beyond which none may pass:

15.
AAindaha jannatu alma/wa

15.
Near it is the Garden

Of Abode.

16.
Ith yaghsha aLssidrata ma yaghsha

16.
Behold, the Lote-tree

Was shrouded

(In mystery unspeakable!)

17.
Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha

17.
(His) sight never swerved,

Nor did it go wrong!

18.
Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra

18.
For truly did he see,

Of the Signs of his Lord,

The Greatest!

19.
Afaraaytumu allata waAlAAuzza

19.
Have ye seen

Lt, and 'Uzz,

20.
Wamanata aLththalithata al-okhra

20.
And another,

The third (goddess), Mant?

21.
Alakumu aLththakaru walahu al-ontha

21.
What! For you

The male sex,

And for Him, the female?

22.
Tilka ithan qismatun deeza

22.
Behold, such would be

Indeed a division

Most unfair!

23.
In hiya illa asmaon sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin in yattabiAAoona illa aL"thth"anna wama tahwa al-anfusu walaqad jaahum min rabbihimu alhuda

23.
These are nothing but names

Which ye have devised,--

Ye and your fathers,

For which God has sent

Down no authority (whatever).

They follow nothing but

Conjecture and what

Their own souls desire!--

Even though there has already

Come to them Guidance

From their Lord!

24.
Am lil-insani ma tamanna

24.
Nay, shall man have (just)

Anything he hankers after?

25.
Falillahi al-akhiratu waAl-oola

25.
But it is to God

That the End and

The Beginning (of all things)

Belong.
