ما أَنتَ بِنِعمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجنونٍ

You are not, by the grace of your Lord, insane.

وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجرًا غَيرَ مَمنونٍ

You will receive an unending reward.

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظيمٍ

And you possess a very noble character.

بِأَييِكُمُ المَفتونُ

Which of you is the afflicted.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعلَمُ بِالمُهتَدينَ

Your Lord knows best who strays from His path, and He knows best who is guided.

فَلا تُطِعِ المُكَذِّبينَ

So, don’t yield to the deniers.

وَدّوا لَو تُدهِنُ فَيُدهِنونَ

They wish you would compromise so they, too, could compromise.

وَلا تُطِع كُلَّ حَلّافٍ مَهينٍ

And don’t obey any despicable oath-monger.
