يس
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
wal-qur'āni l-ḥakīmi
By the wise Qur’ān,
innaka lamina l-mur'salīna
Indeed you, [O Muḥammad], are from among the messengers,
ʿalā ṣirāṭin mus'taqīmin
On a straight path.
tanzīla l-ʿazīzi l-raḥīmi
[This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
litundhira qawman mā undhira ābāuhum fahum ghāfilūna
That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.
laqad ḥaqqa l-qawlu ʿalā aktharihim fahum lā yu'minūna
Already the word [i.e., decree] has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.
innā jaʿalnā fī aʿnāqihim aghlālan fahiya ilā l-adhqāni fahum muq'maḥūna
Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.
wajaʿalnā min bayni aydīhim saddan wamin khalfihim saddan fa-aghshaynāhum fahum lā yub'ṣirūna
And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see.
wasawāon ʿalayhim a-andhartahum am lam tundhir'hum lā yu'minūna
And it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
innamā tundhiru mani ittabaʿa l-dhik'ra wakhashiya l-raḥmāna bil-ghaybi fabashir'hu bimaghfiratin wa-ajrin karīmin
You can only warn one who follows the message and fears the Most Merciful unseen. So give him good tidings of forgiveness and noble reward.
innā naḥnu nuḥ'yī l-mawtā wanaktubu mā qaddamū waāthārahum wakulla shayin aḥṣaynāhu fī imāmin mubīnin
Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.
wa-iḍ'rib lahum mathalan aṣḥāba l-qaryati idh jāahā l-mur'salūna
And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it -
idh arsalnā ilayhimu ith'nayni fakadhabūhumā faʿazzaznā bithālithin faqālū innā ilaykum mur'salūna
When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened [them] with a third, and they said, "Indeed, we are messengers to you."
qālū mā antum illā basharun mith'lunā wamā anzala l-raḥmānu min shayin in antum illā takdhibūna
They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."
qālū rabbunā yaʿlamu innā ilaykum lamur'salūna
They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,
wamā ʿalaynā illā l-balāghu l-mubīnu
And we are not responsible except for clear notification."
qālū innā taṭayyarnā bikum la-in lam tantahū lanarjumannakum walayamassannakum minnā ʿadhābun alīmun
They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."
qālū ṭāirukum maʿakum a-in dhukkir'tum bal antum qawmun mus'rifūna
They said, "Your omen [i.e., fate] is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."
wajāa min aqṣā l-madīnati rajulun yasʿā qāla yāqawmi ittabiʿū l-mur'salīna
And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.
ittabiʿū man lā yasalukum ajran wahum muh'tadūna
Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.
wamā liya lā aʿbudu alladhī faṭaranī wa-ilayhi tur'jaʿūna
And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned?
a-attakhidhu min dūnihi ālihatan in yurid'ni l-raḥmānu biḍurrin lā tugh'ni ʿannī shafāʿatuhum shayan walā yunqidhūni
Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?
innī idhan lafī ḍalālin mubīnin
Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.
innī āmantu birabbikum fa-is'maʿūni
Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."
qīla ud'khuli l-janata qāla yālayta qawmī yaʿlamūna
It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know
bimā ghafara lī rabbī wajaʿalanī mina l-muk'ramīna
Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."
wamā anzalnā ʿalā qawmihi min baʿdihi min jundin mina l-samāi wamā kunnā munzilīna
And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.
in kānat illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan fa-idhā hum khāmidūna
It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.
yāḥasratan ʿalā l-ʿibādi mā yatīhim min rasūlin illā kānū bihi yastahziūna
How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.
alam yaraw kam ahlaknā qablahum mina l-qurūni annahum ilayhim lā yarjiʿūna
Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?
wa-in kullun lammā jamīʿun ladaynā muḥ'ḍarūna
And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.
waāyatun lahumu l-arḍu l-maytatu aḥyaynāhā wa-akhrajnā min'hā ḥabban famin'hu yakulūna
And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.
wajaʿalnā fīhā jannātin min nakhīlin wa-aʿnābin wafajjarnā fīhā mina l-ʿuyūni
And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -
liyakulū min thamarihi wamā ʿamilathu aydīhim afalā yashkurūna
That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?
sub'ḥāna alladhī khalaqa l-azwāja kullahā mimmā tunbitu l-arḍu wamin anfusihim wamimmā lā yaʿlamūna
Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.
waāyatun lahumu al-laylu naslakhu min'hu l-nahāra fa-idhā hum muẓ'limūna
And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it the [light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.
wal-shamsu tajrī limus'taqarrin lahā dhālika taqdīru l-ʿazīzi l-ʿalīmi
And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
wal-qamara qaddarnāhu manāzila ḥattā ʿāda kal-ʿur'jūni l-qadīmi
And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.
lā l-shamsu yanbaghī lahā an tud'rika l-qamara walā al-laylu sābiqu l-nahāri wakullun fī falakin yasbaḥūna
It is not allowable [i.e., possible] for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
waāyatun lahum annā ḥamalnā dhurriyyatahum fī l-ful'ki l-mashḥūni
And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.
wakhalaqnā lahum min mith'lihi mā yarkabūna
And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.
wa-in nasha nugh'riq'hum falā ṣarīkha lahum walā hum yunqadhūna
And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved
illā raḥmatan minnā wamatāʿan ilā ḥīnin
Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.
wa-idhā qīla lahumu ittaqū mā bayna aydīkum wamā khalfakum laʿallakum tur'ḥamūna
But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy..."
wamā tatīhim min āyatin min āyāti rabbihim illā kānū ʿanhā muʿ'riḍīna
And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.
wa-idhā qīla lahum anfiqū mimmā razaqakumu l-lahu qāla alladhīna kafarū lilladhīna āmanū anuṭ'ʿimu man law yashāu l-lahu aṭʿamahu in antum illā fī ḍalālin mubīnin
And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allāh has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allāh had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."
wayaqūlūna matā hādhā l-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīna
And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"
mā yanẓurūna illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan takhudhuhum wahum yakhiṣṣimūna
They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.
