وَما هُوَ بِقَولِ شاعِرٍ ۚ قَليلًا ما تُؤمِنونَ

And it is not the speech of a poet—little do you believe.

وَلا بِقَولِ كاهِنٍ ۚ قَليلًا ما تَذَكَّرونَ

Nor the word of a soothsayer—little do you remember.

تَنزيلٌ مِن رَبِّ العالَمينَ

A revelation from the Lord of the universes.

وَلَو تَقَوَّلَ عَلَينا بَعضَ الأَقاويلِ

Had he attributed some statements to Us.

لَأَخَذنا مِنهُ بِاليَمينِ

We would’ve seized him by the right hand.

فَما مِنكُم مِن أَحَدٍ عَنهُ حاجِزينَ

And none of you could’ve shielded him from Us.

وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذكِرَةٌ لِلمُتَّقينَ

It’s a reminder for the righteous.

وَإِنّا لَنَعلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُكَذِّبينَ

We know that some of you will deny it.

وَإِنَّهُ لَحَسرَةٌ عَلَى الكافِرينَ

It’s a source of regret for the unbelievers.

وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ اليَقينِ

Yet, it’s the absolute truth.
