بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
1
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
By the star when it descends,
2
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,
3
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.
4
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌۭ يُوحَىٰ
It is not but a revelation revealed,
5
عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ
Taught to him by one intense in strength -
6
ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ
One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form
7
وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.
8
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Then he approached and descended
9
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.
10
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.
