فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ

Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi

So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,

ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ

Aljawari alkunnasi

Go straight, or hide;

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ

Waallayli itha AAasAAasa

And the Night as it dissipates;

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa

And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ

Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin

Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,

مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ

MutaAAin thamma ameenin

With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
