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.

فَأَوحىٰ إِلىٰ عَبدِهِ ما أَوحىٰ

Then He revealed to His servant what He revealed.

ما كَذَبَ الفُؤادُ ما رَأىٰ

The heart didn’t lie about what it saw.

أَفَتُمارونَهُ عَلىٰ ما يَرىٰ

Will you dispute with him over what he saw?

وَلَقَد رَآهُ نَزلَةً أُخرىٰ

And he certainly saw him in another descent.

عِندَ سِدرَةِ المُنتَهىٰ

At the Lote Tree of the Ultimate Boundary.
