عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

AAinda sidrati almuntaha

Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:

عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰٓ

AAindaha jannatu almawa

Near it is the Garden of Abode.

إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ

Ith yaghsha alssidrata ma yaghsha

Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!)

مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ

Ma zagha albasaru wama tagha

(His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong!

لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ

Laqad raa min ayati rabbihi alkubra

For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest!
