مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ ٢٠٧

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ٢٠٨

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ٢٠٩

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ ٢١٠

And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.

وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٢١١

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ ٢١٢

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَذَّبِينَ ٢١٣

So do not invoke with Allāh another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ ٢١٤

And warn, [O Muḥammad], your closest kindred.

وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٢١٥

And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ٢١٦

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ ٢١٧

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

الَّذِي يَرَاكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ٢١٨

Who sees you when you arise

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ ٢١٩

And your movement among those who prostrate.

إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ٢٢٠

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ ٢٢١

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ ٢٢٢

They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ ٢٢٣

They pass on what is heard, and most of them are liars.

وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ ٢٢٤

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ ٢٢٥

Do you not see that in every valley they roam

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ٢٢٦

And that they say what they do not do? -

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ ٢٢٧

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allāh often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
