نٓ ۚ وَٱلْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ ١
Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe,
مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍۢ ٢
You are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.
وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍۢ ٣
And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ٤
And indeed, you are of a great moral character.
فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ ٥
So you will see and they will see
بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلْمَفْتُونُ ٦
Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ ٧
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٨
Then do not obey the deniers.
وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ ٩
They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].
وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍۢ مَّهِينٍ ١٠
And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer
