نعوذُ بالرحمنِ مِنْ مثلها

زلزلةٌ أسهرتِ الأعينا

We seek refuge with the Most Merciful from the like of it.

An earthquake that kept eyes awake.

قدْ واثبتْ بالهجمِ مَنْ لا عصى

وعاقبتْ بالرجمِ مَنْ لا زنى

It pounced with assault upon the innocent.

And stoned with rocks those who did not sin.

حكمُ عزيزٍ قادرٍ قاهرٍ

في كلِّ حالٍ لمْ يزلْ محسنا

The decree of the Almighty, All Powerful, Supreme Ruler

In every state has never ceased being Beneficent.
