بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

бисмиль-лəhир-рōhмəəнир-рōhиим

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ

вəн-нəджми из̃əə həвəə

By the star when it sets:

مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَىٰ

мəə дōльлə сōōhибукум вəмəə ґōвəə

your companion has neither gone astray, nor amiss.

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ

вəмəə йəŋŋтыќу 'əниль-həвəə

Nor does he speak out of [his own] desire:

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰ

ин hувə ильлəə вəhйуй-йууhəə

it is just a revelation that is revealed [to him],

عَلَّمَهُۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَىٰ

'əльлəмəhу шəдиидуль-ќувəə

taught him by one of great powers,

ذُو مِرَّةٍ فَٱسْتَوَىٰ

з̃уу миррōтин фəəстəвəə

possessed of sound judgement. He settled,

وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

вəhувə би-ль-уфуќиль-ə'лəə

while he was on the highest horizon.

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ

c̃уммə дəнəə фəтəдəльлəə

Then he drew nearer and nearer

فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ

фəкəəнə ќōōбə ќōусəйни əу əднəə

until he was within two bows’ length or even nearer,

فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ

фə`əуhəə илəə 'əбдиhи мəə əуhəə

whereat He revealed to His servant whatever He revealed.
