وَ السَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوْجِۙ۝۱

I CALL TO witness the sky (bespangled) with the signs of the Zodiac,

وَ الْیَوْمِ الْمَوْعُوْدِۙ۝۲

And the promised day,

وَ شَاهِدٍ وَّ مَشْهُوْدٍؕ۝۳

And the witness and the witnessed,

قُتِلَ اَصْحٰبُ الْاُخْدُوْدِۙ۝۴

That accursed are the men of the trench

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُوْدِۙ۝۵

Full of fire fed by faggots,

اِذْ هُمْ عَلَیْهَا قُعُوْدٌۙ۝۶

As they sat around it

وَّ هُمْ عَلٰی مَا یَفْعَلُوْنَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ شُهُوْدٌؕ۝۷

Witnessing what they had done to the believers!

وَ مَا نَقَمُوْا مِنْهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَمِیْدِۙ۝۸

They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise,

الَّذِیْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهِیْدٌؕ۝۹

Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَتُوْبُوْا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِیْقِؕ۝۱۰

Surely for those who persecute believers, men and women, and do not repent afterwards, is the punishment of Hell, and the punishment of burning.
