وَامتازُوا اليَومَ أَيُّهَا المُجرِمونَ

But separate yourselves today, you criminals!

أَلَم أَعهَد إِلَيكُم يا بَني آدَمَ أَن لا تَعبُدُوا الشَّيطانَ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُم عَدُوٌّ مُبينٌ

Didn’t I covenant with you, O Children of Adam, that you must not worship Satan, for he is your clear enemy?

وَأَنِ اعبُدوني ۚ هـٰذا صِراطٌ مُستَقيمٌ

And that you should worship Me, for this is a straight path.

وَلَقَد أَضَلَّ مِنكُم جِبِلًّا كَثيرًا ۖ أَفَلَم تَكونوا تَعقِلونَ

He led many of you astray. Didn’t you use your reason?

هـٰذِهِ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتي كُنتُم توعَدونَ

This is the Hellfire you were repeatedly warned about.

اليَومَ نَختِمُ عَلىٰ أَفواهِهِم وَتُكَلِّمُنا أَيديهِم وَتَشهَدُ أَرجُلُهُم بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

On that Day, We will seal their mouths. Their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify to their deeds.

وَلَو نَشاءُ لَطَمَسنا عَلىٰ أَعيُنِهِم فَاستَبَقُوا الصِّراطَ فَأَنّىٰ يُبصِرونَ

Had We willed, We could’ve blotted out their eyes; then they would stumble on the path. But how will they see?

وَلَو نَشاءُ لَمَسَخناهُم عَلىٰ مَكانَتِهِم فَمَا استَطاعوا مُضِيًّا وَلا يَرجِعونَ

Had We willed, We could’ve immobilized them in their places, leaving them incapable of advancing or retreating.

وَمَن نُعَمِّرهُ نُنَكِّسهُ فِي الخَلقِ ۖ أَفَلا يَعقِلونَ

Those to whom We grant a long life, We reverse in development. Don’t they understand?

وَما عَلَّمناهُ الشِّعرَ وَما يَنبَغي لَهُ ۚ إِن هُوَ إِلّا ذِكرٌ وَقُرآنٌ مُبينٌ

We didn’t teach him poetry, nor is it appropriate for him. It is but a reminder and a Clear Quran.
