وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
1. By the star when it descends,
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
2. Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,
وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
3. Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ
4. It is not but a revelation revealed,
عَلَّمَهُ شَدِيدُ الْقُوَىٰ
5. Taught to him by one intense in strength -
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَاسْتَوَىٰ
6. One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form
وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
7. While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
8. Then he approached and descended
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
9. And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.
فَأَوْحَىٰ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَىٰ
10. And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.
