وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
By the star when it sets:
- 2
مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ
your companion has neither strayed nor is he deluded;
- 3
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ
nor does he speak out of his desire.
- 4
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ
This is nothing but a revelation that is conveyed to him,
- 5
عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ
something that a very powerful one has imparted to him,
- 6
ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ
one endowed with immense wisdom. He came forth and stood poised,
- 7
وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
being on the higher horizon.
- 8
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Then he drew near and hung above suspended,
- 9
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
until he was two bows' length away, or nearer.
- 10
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
Then he revealed to Allah's servant whatever he had to reveal.
