وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ

Wannajmi izaa hawaa

By the star when it descends,

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ

Maa dalla saahibukum wa maa ghawaa

Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ

Wa maa yyantiqu 'anilhawaaa

Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌۭ يُوحَىٰ

In huwa illaa Wahyuny yoohaa

It is not but a revelation revealed,

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ

'Allamahoo shadeedul quwaa

Taught to him by one intense in strength -

ذُو مِرَّةٍۢ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ

Zoo mirratin fastawaa

One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form

وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

Wa huwa bil ufuqil a'laa

While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

Summa danaa fatadalla

Then he approached and descended

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ

Fakaana qaaba qawsaini aw adnaa

And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ

Fa awhaaa ilaa 'abdihee maaa awhaa

And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.
