لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona

But (now that the Qur´an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena

Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

Innahum lahumu almansooroona

That they would certainly be assisted,

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona

And that Our forces,- they surely must conquer.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin

So turn thou away from them for a little while,

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona

And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona

Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

Faitha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena

But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

Watawalla AAanhum hatta heenin

So turn thou away from them for a little while,

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona

And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Subhana rabbika rabbi alAAizzati AAamma yasifoona

Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Wasalamun AAala almursaleena

And Peace on the messengers!

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena

And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
