وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ

By the sky containing great stars

آسمان کی قسم جس میں برج ہیں

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ

And [by] the promised Day

اور اس دن کی جس کا وعدہ ہے

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

اور حاضر ہونے والے کی اور جو اس کے پاس حاضر کیا جائے اسکی

قُتِلَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] were the companions of the trench

کہ خندقوں (کے کھودنے) والے ہلاک کر دیئے گئے

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

(یعنی) آگ (کی خندقیں) جس میں ایندھن (جھونک رکھا) تھا

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

When they were sitting near it.

جب کہ وہ ان (کے کناروں) پر بیٹھے ہوئے تھے

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses.

اور جو( سختیاں) اہل ایمان پر کر رہے تھے ان کو سامنے دیکھ رہے تھے

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,

ان کو مومنوں کی یہی بات بری لگتی تھی کہ وہ خدا پر ایمان لائے ہوئے تھے جو غالب (اور) قابل ستائش ہے

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh, over all things, is Witness.

وہی جس کی آسمانوں اور زمین میں بادشاہت ہے۔ اور خدا ہر چیز سے واقف ہے

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ

Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire.

جن لوگوں نے مومن مردوں اور مومن عورتوں کو تکلیفیں دیں اور توبہ نہ کی ان کو دوزخ کا (اور) عذاب بھی ہوگا اور جلنے کا عذاب بھی ہوگا

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment.

(اور) جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور نیک کام کرتے رہے ان کے لیے باغات ہیں جن کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں۔ یہ ہی بڑی کامیابی ہے

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Indeed, the assault [i.e., vengeance] of your Lord is severe.

بےشک تمہارے پروردگار کی پکڑ بڑی سخت ہے

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats.

وہی پہلی دفعہ پیدا کرتا ہے اور وہی دوبارہ( زندہ) کرے گا

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

اور وہ بخشنے والا اور محبت کرنے والا ہے

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

عرش کا مالک بڑی شان والا

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

Effecter of what He intends.

جو چاہتا ہے کر دیتا ہے

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

بھلا تم کو لشکروں کا حال معلوم ہوا ہے

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamūd?

(یعنی) فرعون اور ثمود کا

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

لیکن کافر (جان بوجھ کر) تکذیب میں (گرفتار) ہیں

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ

While Allāh encompasses them from behind.

اور خدا (بھی) ان کو گردا گرد سے گھیرے ہوئے ہے

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ

But this is an honored Qur’ān

(یہ کتاب ہزل و بطلان نہیں) بلکہ یہ قرآن عظیم الشان ہے

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
