85. Al-Burooj - The Big Stars
| 1 | I CALL TO witness the sky (bespangled) with the signs of the Zodiac, |
| 2 | And the promised day, |
| 3 | And the witness and the witnessed, |
| 4 | That accursed are the men of the trench |
| 5 | Full of fire fed by faggots, |
| 6 | As they sat around it |
| 7 | Witnessing what they had done to the believers! |
| 8 | They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise, |
| 9 | Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. |
| 10 | Surely for those who persecute believers, men and women, and do not repent afterwards, is the punishment of Hell, and the punishment of burning. |
| 11 | Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success. |
| 12 | The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! |
| 13 | It is verily He who initiates and repeats. |
| 14 | He is the forgiving and the loving, |
| 15 | The Lord of the glorious Throne, |
| 16 | Who does as He pleases. |
| 17 | Has the story of the hordes |
| 18 | Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? |
| 19 | Yet the infidels persist in denial. |
| 20 | But God surrounds them from all sides. |
| 21 | This is indeed the glorious Qur'an |
| 22 | (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. |
