بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ وَالنَّجمِ إِذا هَوىٰ

By the star as it falls.

ما ضَلَّ صاحِبُكُم وَما غَوىٰ

Your friend is neither misguided nor deceived.

إِن هُوَ إِلّا وَحيٌ يوحىٰ

It is but a revelation revealed.

عَلَّمَهُ شَديدُ القُوىٰ

Taught to him by the one intense in strength.

ذو مِرَّةٍ فَاستَوىٰ

Endowed with wisdom; He positioned Himself.

وَهُوَ بِالأُفُقِ الأَعلىٰ

While he was at the uppermost horizon.

ثُمَّ دَنا فَتَدَلّىٰ

Then he approached and descended.
