يا مَعشَرَ الإِنسِ جِئتُم كُلَّ رائِعَةٍ

يا مَعشَرَ الإِنسِ جِئتُم كُلَّ رائِعَةٍ

بِمَعشَرِ الجِنِّ مِن أَهوالِها عَجَبُ

بِمَعشَرِ الجِنِّ مِن أَهوالِها عَجَبُ

O company of humankind, you have wrought every terrifying deed,

O humankind, you have come with every amazing thing

whose terrors fill the company of jinn with wonder.

Yet the Jinn's terrors leave you astonished

أَلا تَخافونَ رَبّاً لا يَخافُ لَكُم

أَلا تَخافونَ رَبّاً لا يَخافُ لَكُم

بَأساً إِذا اِنطَلَقَت أَقدارُهُ تَثِبُ

بَأساً إِذا اِنطَلَقَت أَقدارُهُ تَثِبُ

Do you not fear a Lord who has no fear of your

Do you not fear a Lord whom you fear no harm from

might, when His decrees are unleashed and leap forth?

When His decrees are unleashed they confirm

لا تَزعُموا هَذِهِ الهَيجاءَ مُعجِزَةً

لا تَزعُموا هَذِهِ الهَيجاءَ مُعجِزَةً

أَلا لَهُ البَأسُ وَالهَيجاءُ وَالغَلَبُ

أَلا لَهُ البَأسُ وَالهَيجاءُ وَالغَلَبُ

Do not suppose this battle beyond His power;

Do not claim these roars are a miracle

behold, might, battle, and triumph are His.

Nay, might, uproar and conquest are His

السَيفُ وَالنارُ وَالأَجنادُ قُوَّتُهُ

السَيفُ وَالنارُ وَالأَجنادُ قُوَّتُهُ

وَالنَصرُ وَالفَتحُ ما يُؤتي وَما يَهَبُ

وَالنَصرُ وَالفَتحُ ما يُؤتي وَما يَهَبُ

The sword, fire, and armies are His power,

The sword, fire and armies are His strength

and victory and conquest are what He grants and what He bestows.

And granting victory and openings are what He gives and withholds

ما زالَتِ الحَربُ تَمحو كُلَّ مَفسَدَةٍ

ما زالَتِ الحَربُ تَمحو كُلَّ مَفسَدَةٍ

حَتّى قَضَت مِن حُقوقِ اللَهِ ما يَجِبُ

حَتّى قَضَت مِن حُقوقِ اللَهِ ما يَجِبُ

War kept wiping out every evil,

War continues erasing all corruption

until it fulfilled what was due to God.

Until it completes the rights due to God

قامَت تُثَبِّتُ أَمراً ظَلَّ مُضطَرِباً

قامَت تُثَبِّتُ أَمراً ظَلَّ مُضطَرِباً

لا يَثبُتُ الأَمرُ وَالأَقطارُ تَضطَرِبُ

لا يَثبُتُ الأَمرُ وَالأَقطارُ تَضطَرِبُ

It rose to stabilize an order that had remained unsettled;

It stands, stabilizing a turbulent order

order cannot stand firm while the lands are in turmoil.

Nothing stabilizes when regions are in turmoil

إِنَّ المَظالِمَ وَالأَطماعَ ضامِنَةٌ

إِنَّ المَظالِمَ وَالأَطماعَ ضامِنَةٌ

أَلّا تَزالُ شُعوبُ الأَرضِ تَصطَخِبُ

أَلّا تَزالُ شُعوبُ الأَرضِ تَصطَخِبُ

Indeed, injustices and greed ensure

Oppression and greed are truly ensured

that the peoples of the earth remain in ceaseless uproar.

The peoples of earth will not cease convulsing

بورِكتَ عَهداً يَذُلُّ الغاصبونَ بِهِ

بورِكتَ عَهداً يَذُلُّ الغاصبونَ بِهِ

وَيَستَعِزُّ الأُلى سادوا فَما غَصَبوا

وَيَستَعِزُّ الأُلى سادوا فَما غَصَبوا

Blessed are you, an age in which usurpers are humbled,

Blessed is the era wherein usurpers are humbled by it

and those who ruled without usurping gain honor.

And the vulnerable, who never usurped, are honored

لا يَحمِلُ الظُلمُ يَوماً عَرشَ مَملَكَةٍ

لا يَحمِلُ الظُلمُ يَوماً عَرشَ مَملَكَةٍ

وَإِن تَطاوَلَ إِلّا سَوفَ يَنقَلِبُ

وَإِن تَطاوَلَ إِلّا سَوفَ يَنقَلِبُ

Oppression never upholds a kingdom's throne,

Injustice will never carry the throne of a kingdom

however long it endures, without that throne eventually toppling.

No matter how high it reaches, it will surely collapse
