Ta Sin Mim
یہ روشن کتاب کی آیتیں ہیں
These are verses of the clear Book.
Those are the signs of the Manifest Book.
شاید تو اپنی جان ہلاک کرنے والا ہے اس لیے کہ وہ ایمان نہیں لاتے
Possibly you may risk your life (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) by grieving, because they did not believe.
Perchance thou consumest thyself that they are not believers.
اگر ہم چاہیں تو ان پر آسمان سے ایسی نشانی نازل کریں کہ اس کے آگے ان کی گردنیں جھک جائیں
If We will, We can send down on them a sign from the sky so that their leaders would remain bowed before it.
If We will, We shall send down on them out of heaven a sign, so their necks will stay humbled to it.
اور ان کے پاس رحمنٰ کی طرف سے کوئی نئی بات نصیحت کی ایسی نہیں آئی کہ وہ اس سے منہ نہ موڑ لیتے ہوں
And never does a new advice come to them from the Most Gracious, but they turn away from it.
But never fresh remembrance comes to them from the All-merciful, except they turn away from it.
سو یہ جھٹلاتو چکے اب ان کے پاس اس چیز کی حقیقت آئے گی جس پر ٹھٹھا کیا کرتے تھے
Indeed they have denied, so now soon coming upon them are the tidings of what they used to scoff at.
So they have cried lies; therefore assuredly tidings will come to them of that they mocked at.
کیا وہ زمین کو نہیں دیکھتے ہم نے اس میں ہر ایک قسم کی کتنی عمدہ چیزیں اُگائی ہیں
Have they not seen the earth, that how many honourable pairs We have created in it?
What, have they not regarded the earth, how many therein We have caused to grow of every generous kind?
البتہ اس میں بڑی نشانی ہے اور ان میں سے اکثر ایمان لانے والے نہیں
Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them will not accept faith.
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
اور بے شک تیرا رب زبردست رحم کرنے والا ہے
And indeed your Lord – indeed only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.
اور جب تیرے رب نے موسیٰ کو پکارا کہ اس ظالم قوم کے پاس جا
And (remember) when your Lord said to Moosa, “Go to the unjust people.”
And when thy Lord called to Moses, 'Go to the people of the evildoers,
فرعون کی قوم کے پاس کیا وہ ڈرتے نہیں
“The nation of Firaun; will they not fear?”
the people of Pharaoh; will they not be godfearing?'
عرض کی اے میرے رب میں ڈرتا ہوں کہ مجھے جھٹلا دیں
He said, “My Lord, I fear that they will deny me.”
He said, 'My Lord, I fear they will cry me lies,
اور میرا سینہ تنگ ہوجائے اور میری زبان نہ چلے پس ہارون کو پیغام دے
“I feel hesitant, and my tongue does not speak fast, therefore make Haroon also a Noble Messenger.”
and my breast will be straitened, and my tongue will not be loosed; so send to Aaron.
اور میرے ذمہ ان کا ایک گناہ بھی ہے سو میں ڈرتا ہوں کہ مجھے مار نہ ڈالیں
“And they have an accusation against me, so I fear that they may kill me.”
They also have a sin against me, and I fear they will slay me.'
فرمایا ہر گز نہیں تم دونوں ہماری نشانیاں لے کر جاؤ ہم تمہارے ساتھ سننے والے ہیں
He said, “Not like this (any more); both of you go with Our signs, We are with you, All Hearing.”
Said He, 'No indeed; but go, both of you, with Our signs, and We assuredly shall be with you, listening.
سو فرعون کے پاس جاؤ اور کہو کہ ہم پروردگار عالم کا پیغام لے کر آئے ہیں
“Therefore approach Firaun then proclaim, ‘We both are Noble Messengers of the Lord Of The Creation.’
So go you to Pharaoh, and say, "Verily, I am the Messenger of the Lord of all Being;
یہ کہ ہمارے ساتھ بنی اسرائیل کو بھیج دے
‘That you let the Descendants of Israel go with us.’”
so send forth with us the Children of Israel."
کہا کیا ہم نےتمہیں بچپن میں پرورش نہیں کیا اورتو نے ہم میں اپنی عمر کے کئی سال گزارے
Said Firaun, “Did we do not raise you amongst us, as a child? And you spent many years of your life among us!”
He said, 'Did we not raise thee amongst us as a child? Didst thou not tarry among us years of thy life?
اور تو اپنا وہ کرتوت کر گیا جوکر گیا اور تو ناشکروں میں سے ہے
“And you committed the deed of yours that you committed, and you were ungrateful.”
And thou didst the deed thou didst, being one of the ungrateful!'
کہا جب میں نے وہ کام کیا تھاتو میں بےخبر تھا
Said Moosa, “I did that at a time when I was unaware of the consequences.” (In anger – See verse 28:15)
Said he, 'Indeed I did it then, being one of those that stray;
پھر میں تم سے تمہارے ڈر کے مارے بھاگ گیا تب مجھے میرے رب نے دانائی عطا کی اور مجھے رسول بنایا
“I therefore went away from you as I feared you – so my Lord commanded me and appointed me as one of the Noble Messengers.”
so I fled from you, fearing you. But my Lord gave me Judgment and made me one of the Envoys.
اور یہ احسان جو تو مجھ پر رکھتا ہے اسی لیے تو نے بنی اسرائیل کو غلام بنا رکھا ہے
“And is this some great reward for which you express favour upon me – that you have enslaved the Descendants of Israel?”
That is a blessing thou reproachest me with, having enslaved the Children of Israel.'
فرعون نے کہا رب العالمین کیا چیز ہے
Said Firaun, “And what is the Lord Of The Creation?
Pharaoh said, 'And what is the Lord of all Being?'
فرمایا آسمانوں اور زمین اور جو کچھ ان کے درمیان ہے سب کا پروردگار ہے اگر تمہیں یقین آئے
Said Moosa, “Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; if you believe.”
He said, 'The Lord of the heavens and earth, and what between them is, if you have faith.'
اپنے گرد والوں سے کہا کیا تم سنتے نہیں ہو
Said Firaun to those around him, “Are you not listening with attention?”
Said he to those about him, 'Do you not hear?'
فرمایا تمہارا ور تمہارے پہلے باپ دادا کا رب ہے
Said Moosa, “Your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers preceding you.”
He said, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.'
کہا بے شک تمہارا رسول جو تمہارے پاس بھیجا گیا ہے ضرور دیوانہ ہے
Said Firaun, “This (Noble) Messenger of yours, who has been sent towards you, has no intelligence!”
Said he, 'Surely your Messenger who was sent to you is possessed!'
فرمایا مشر ق مغرب اور جو ان کے درمیان ہے سب کا پروردگار ہے اگر تم عقل رکھتے ہو
He said, “The Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them; if you have sense.”
He said, 'The Lord of the East and West, and what between them is, if you have understanding,'
کہا اگر تو نے میرے سوا اور کوئی معبود بنایا تو تمہیں قید میں ڈال دوں گا
Said Firaun, “If you ascribe any one else as a God other than me, I will surely imprison you.”
Said he, 'If thou takest a god other than me, I shall surely make thee one of the imprisoned.'
فرمایا اگرچہ میں تیرے پاس ایک روشن چیز لے آؤں
Said Moosa, “Even if I bring to you something clear?”
He said, 'What, even though I brought thee something so manifest?'
کہا اگر تو سچا ہے تو وہ چیز لا
Said Firaun, “Then bring it, if you are of the truthful.”
Said he, 'Bring it then, if thou art of the truthful.'
پھر اس نےاپناعصا ڈال دیا سو اسی وقت وہ صریح اژدھا ہو گیا
So Moosa put down his staff and it became a visible serpent.
So he cast his staff, and behold, it was a serpent manifest.
اوراپنا ہاتھ نکالا سو اسی وقت وہ دیکھنے والوں کو چمکتا ہوا دکھائی دیا
And he drew forth his hand, thereupon it shone bright before the beholders.
And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it was white to the beholders.
اپنے گرد کے سرداروں سے کہا کہ بے شک یہ بڑا ماہر جادوگر ہے
Said Firaun to the court members around him, “He is indeed an expert magician.”
Said he to the Council about him, 'Surely this man is a cunning sorcerer
چاہتا ہے کہ تمہیں تمہارے دیس سے اپنے جادو کے زور سےنکال دےپھر تم کیا رائے دیتے ہو
“He wishes to expel you out of your land by his magic; so what is your advice?”
who desires to expel you from your land by his sorcery; what do you command?'
کہا اسےاور اس کے بھائی کو مہلت دو اور شہروں میں چپڑاسیوں کو بھیج دیجیئے
They said, “Stop him and his brother, and send gatherers to the cities.”
They said, 'Put him and his brother off a while, and send among the cities musterers,
کہ تیرے پاس بڑے ماہر جادوگروں کو لے آئیں
“To bring to you every expert great magician.”
to bring thee every cunning sorcerer.
پھر سب جادوگر ایک مقرر دن پر جمع کیے گئے
So the magicians were gathered at a set time on a day appointed.
So the sorcerers were assembled for the appointed time of a fixed day.
اور لوگوں سے کہا گیا کیا تم بھی اکھٹے ہوتے ہو
And it was said to the people, “Have you (also) gathered?”
The people were asked, 'Will you assemble?
تاکہ اگر جادوگر غالب آجائیں تو ہم انہی کی راہ پر رہیں
The people said, “Perhaps we may follow the magicians if they are victorious.”
Haply we shall follow the sorcerers if it should be they are the victors.'
پھر جب جادوگر آئے تو فرعون سے کہا اگر ہم غالب آگئے تو کیا ہمیں کوئی بڑا انعام ملے گا
So when the magicians came, they said to Firaun, “Will we get some reward if we are victorious?”
Then, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, 'Shall we indeed have a wage, if we should be the victors?'
کہا ہاں اور بیشک تم اس وقت مقربوں میں داخل ہو جاؤ گے
He said, “Yes, and you will then become close to me.”
He said, 'Yes indeed; and you shall then be among the near-stationed.'
موسیٰ نے ان سے کہا ڈالو جو تم ڈالتے ہو
Moosa said to them, “Cast whatever you intend to cast.”
Moses said to them, 'Cast you down what you will cast.'
پھر انہوں نے اپنی رسیاں اور لاٹھیاں ڈال دیں اور کہا فرعون کے اقبال سے ہماری فتح ہے
So they threw down their ropes and their staves and exclaimed, “By the honour of Firaun, indeed victory is ours!”
So they cast their ropes and their staffs, and said, 'By the might of Pharaoh we shall be the victors.'
پھر موسیٰ نے اپنا عصا ڈالا پھر وہ فوراً ہی نگلنے لگا جو انہوں نے جھوٹ بنایا تھا
Therefore Moosa put forth his staff – so it immediately began swallowing all their fabrications.
Then Moses cast his staff and lo, it forthwith swallowed up their lying invention;
پھر جادوگر سجدے میں گر پڑے
The magicians therefore fell down prostrate.
so the sorcerers were cast down, bowing themselves.
کہا ہم رب العالمین پر ایمان لائے
They said, “We have accepted faith in the Lord Of The Creation.”
They said, 'We believe in the Lord of all Being,
جو موسیٰ اور ہارون کا رب ہے
“The Lord of Moosa and Haroon.”
the Lord of Moses and Aaron.'
کہا کیا تم میری اجازت سے پہلے ہی ایمان لے آئے بے شک وہ تمہارا استاد ہے جس نے تمہیں جادو سکھایا ہے سو تمہیں ابھی معلوم ہو جائے گا البتہ میں تمہارا ایک طرف کا ہاتھ اور دوسری طرف کا پاؤں کاٹ دوں گا اور تم سب کو سولی پر چڑھا دوں گا
Said Firaun, “You accepted faith in him before I permitted you! He is indeed your leader who taught you magic; so now you will come to know; I swear, I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet from alternate sides, and crucify all of you.”
Said Pharaoh, 'You have believed him before I gave you leave. Why, he is the chief of you, the same that taught you sorcery; now you shall know! I shall assuredly cut off alternately your hands and feet, then I shall crucify you all together.'
کہا کچھ حرج نہیں بے شک ہم اپنے رب کے پاس پہنچنے والا ہوں گے
They said, “No harm (in it), we will return to our Lord.”
They said, 'There is no harm; surely unto our Lord we are turning.
ہمیں امید ہے کہ ہمارا رب ہمارے گناہوں کو معاف کر دے گا اس لیے کہ ہم سب سے پہلے ایمان لانے والے ہیں
“We hope that our Lord will forgive us our mistakes, as we are the first to believe.”
We are eager that our Lord should forgive us our offences, for that we are the first of the believers.'
اور ہم نے موسی ٰکو حکم بھیجا کہ میرے بندوں کو رات کو لے نکل البتہ تمہارا پیچھا کیا جائے گا
And We sent the divine revelation to Moosa that, “Journey along with My bondmen within the night, for you will be pursued.”
Also We revealed unto Moses, 'Go with My servants by night; surely you will be followed.'
پھر فرعون نے شہروں میں چپڑاسی بھیجے
So Firaun sent gatherers into the cities.
Then Pharaoh sent among the cities musterers:
کہ یہ ایک تھوڑی سی جماعت ہے
They announced “These people are a small group.”
'Behold, these are a small troop,
اور انہوں نے ہمیں بہت غصہ دلایا ہے
“And indeed they have angered all of us.”
and indeed they are enraging us;
اور بے شک ہم سب ہتھیار بند ہیں
“And indeed we are an alert army.”
and we are a host on our guard.'
پھر ہم نے انہیں باغوں اور چشموں سے نکال باہر کیا
We therefore got them out from the gardens and water springs.
So We expelled them from gardens and fountains,
اور خزانوں اور عمدہ مکانو ں سے
And from treasures and nice houses.
and treasures and a noble station;
اسی طرح ہوا اور ہم نے ان چیزوں کا بنی اسرائیل کو وارث بنایا
So it was; and We made the Descendants of Israel its inheritors.
even so, and We bequeathed them upon the Children of Israel.
پھر سورج نکلنے کے وقت ان کے پیچھے پڑے
So the Firaun’s people followed them at sunrise.
Then they followed them at the sunrise;
پھر جب دونوں جماعتوں نےایک دوسرے کو دیکھا تو موسیٰ کے ساتھیوں نے کہا ہم تو پکڑے گئے
And when the two groups saw each other, those with Moosa said, “They have caught us.”
and, when the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, 'We are overtaken!'
کہا ہرگز نہیں میرا رب میرے ساتھ ہے وہ مجھے راہ بتائے گا
Said Moosa, “Never! Indeed my Lord is with me, He will now show me the way.”
Said he, 'No indeed; surely my Lord is with me; He will guide me.'
پھر ہم نےموسیٰ کو حکم بھیجا کہ اپنی لاٹھی کو دریا پر مار پھر پھٹ گیا پھر ہر ٹکڑا بڑے ٹیلے کی طرح ہو گیا
So We sent the divine revelation to Moosa that, “Strike the sea with your staff”; thereupon the sea parted; so each part was like a huge mountain.
Then We revealed to Moses, 'Strike with thy staff the sea'; and it clave, and each part was as a mighty mount.
اور ہم نے اس جگہ دوسروں کو پہنچا دیا
And We brought the others close to that place.
And there We brought the others on,
اورہم نے موسیٰ کی اور جو اس کے ساتھ تھے سب کو نجات دی
And We saved Moosa and all those with him.
and We delivered Moses and those with him all together;
پھر ہم نے دوسروں کو غرق کر دیا
Then drowned the others.
then We drowned the others.
البتہ اس میں بڑی نشانی ہے اور ان میں سے اکثر ایمان لانے والے نہیں
Indeed in this is surely a sign, and most of them were not Muslims.
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
اور بے شک تیرا رب زبردست رحم کرنے والا ہے
And indeed your Lord – only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.
اور انہیں ابراھیم کی خبر سنا دے
And recite to them the news of Ibrahim.
And recite to them the tiding of Abraham
جب اپنے باپ اور اپنی قوم سے کہا تم کس کو پوجتے ہو
When he said to his father and his people, “What do you worship?”
when he said to his father and his people, 'What do you serve?'
کہنے لگے ہم بتوں کو پوجتے ہیں پھر انہی کے گرد رہا کرتے ہیں
They said, “We worship idols, and we keep squatting in seclusion before them.”
They said, 'We serve idols, and continue cleaving to them.
کہا کیا وہ تمہاری بات سنتے ہیں جب تم پکارتے ہو
He said, “Do they hear you when you call?”
He said, 'Do they hear you when you call,
یا تمہیں کچھ نفع یا نقصان پہنچا سکتے ہیں
“Or do they benefit you or harm you?”
or do they profit you, or harm?'
کہنے لگے بلکہ ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایسا کرتے پایا ہے
They said, “In fact we found our forefathers doing likewise.”
They said, 'Nay, but we found our fathers so doing.'
کہا کیا تمہیں خبر ہے جنہیں تم پوجتے ہو
He said, “Do you see these – (the idols) whom you worship?”
He said, 'And have you considered what you have been serving,
تم او رتمہارے پہلے باپ دادا جنہیں پوجتے تھے
“You and your forefathers preceding you.”
you and your fathers, the elders?
سو وہ سوائے رب العالمین کے میرے دشمن ہیں
“They are all my enemies, except the Lord Of The Creation.”
They are an enemy to me, except the Lord of all Being
جس نے مجھے پیدا کیا پھر وہی مجھے راہ دکھاتا ہے
“The One Who created me, so He will guide me.”
who created me, and Himself guides me,
اور وہ جو مجھے کھلاتا اور پلاتا ہے
“And the One Who feeds me and gives me to drink.”
and Himself gives me to eat and drink,
اور جب میں بیمار ہوتا ہوں تو وہی مجھے شفا دیتا ہے
“And when I fall ill, so it is He Who heals me.”
and, whenever I am sick, heals me,
اور وہ جو مجھے مارے گا پھر زندہ کرے گا
“And He will give me death, then resurrect me.”
who makes me to die, then gives me life,
اور وہ جو مجھے امید ہے کہ میرے گناہ قیامت کے دن مجھے بخش دے گا
“And the One Who, upon Whom I pin my hopes, will forgive me my mistakes on the Day of Judgement.”
and who I am eager shall forgive me my offence on the Day of Doom.
اے میرے رب مجھے کمال علم عطا فرما اور مجھے نیکیوں کے ساتھ شامل کر
“My Lord, bestow me the command and join me with those who deserve your proximity.”
My Lord, give me Judgment, and join me with the righteous,
اور آئندہ آنے والی نسلوں میں میرا ذکر خیر باقی رکھ
“And give me proper fame among the succeeding generations.”
and appoint me a tongue of truthfulness among the others.
اور مجھے نعمت کے باغ کے وارثوں میں کر دے
“And make me among the inheritors of the Gardens of serenity.”
Make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss
اور میرے باپ کو بخش دے کہ وہ گمراہوں میں سے تھا
“And forgive my father* – he is indeed astray.” (His paternal uncle)
and forgive my father, for he is one of those astray.
اور مجھے ذلیل نہ کر جس دن لوگ اٹھائے جائیں گے
“And do not disgrace me on the day when everyone will be raised.”
Degrade me not upon the day when they are raised up,
جس دن مال اور اولاد نفع نہیں دے گی
“The day when neither wealth will benefit nor will sons.”
the day when neither wealth nor sons shall profit
مگر جو الله کے پاس پاک دل لے کر آیا
“Except he who presented himself before Allah, with a sound* heart.” (Intact or unblemished.)
except for him who comes to God with a pure heart.
اور پرہیز گاروں کے لیے جنت قریب لائی جائے گی
And Paradise will be brought close for the pious.
And Paradise shall be brought forward for the godfearing,
اور دوزخ سرکشوں کے لیے ظاہر کی جائے گی
And hell will be revealed for the astray.
and Hell advanced for the perverse.
اور انہیں کہا جائے گا کہاں ہیں جنہیں تم پوجتے تھے
And it will be said to them, “Where are those whom you used to worship?”
It shall be said to them, 'Where is that you were serving
الله کے سوا کیا وہ تمہاری مدد کر سکتے ہیں یا بدلہ لے سکتے ہیں
“Instead of Allah? Will they help you or retaliate?”
apart from God? Do they help you or help themselves?'
پھر وہ اور سب گمراہ اس میں اوندھے ڈال دیے جائیں گے
So they and all the astray were flung into hell.
Then they shall be pitched into it, they and the perverse
اور شیطان کے سارے لشکروں کو بھی
And all the armies of Iblis. (Satan)
and the hosts of Iblis, all together.
اوروہ وہاں آپس میں جھگڑتے ہوئے کہیں گے
And they will say, and they will be quarrelling in it:
They shall say, as they dispute there one with another,
الله کی قسم بیشک ہم صریح گمراہی میں تھے
“By oath of Allah, we were indeed in open error.”
'By God, we were certainly in manifest error
جب ہم تمہیں رب العالمین کے برابر کیا کرتے تھے
“When we considered you equal to the Lord Of The Creation.”
when we made you equal with the Lord of all Being.
اور ہمیں ان بدکاروں کے سوا کسی نے گمراہ نہیں کیا
“And none misled us but the guilty.”
It was naught but the sinners that led us astray;
پھر کوئی ہماری سفارش کرنے والا نہیں
“So now we do not have any intercessors.” (The believers shall have intercessors, the disbelievers none).
so now we have no intercessors,
اور نہ کوئی مخلص دوست ہے
“Nor a caring friend.”
no loyal friend.
پھر اگر ہمیں دوبارہ جانا ملے تو ہم ایمان والوں میں شامل ہوں
“So if only were we to go back, in order to become Muslims!”
O that we might return again, and be among the believers!'
البتہ اس میں بڑی نشانی ہے اور ان میں سے اکثر ایمان لانے والے نہیں
Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not believers.
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
اور بے شک تیرا رب زبردست رحم کرنے والا ہے
And indeed your Lord – only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.
نوح کی قوم نے پیغمبروں کو جھٹلایا
The people of Nooh denied the Noble Messengers.
The people of Noah cried lies to the Envoys
جب ان کے بھائی نوح نے کہا کیا تم ڈرتے نہیں
When their fellowman Nooh said to them, “Do you not fear?”
when their brother Noah said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?
میں تمہارے لیے امانت دار رسول ہوں
“I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger of Allah to you.”
I am for you a faithful Messenger,
پس الله سے ڈرو اور میرا کہا مانو
“Therefore fear Allah, and obey me.”
so serve you God, and obey you me.
اور میں تم سے اس پر کوئی مزدوری نہیں مانگتا میری مزدوری تو بس رب العالمین کے ذمہ ہے
“And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being;
سو الله سے ڈرو اور میرا کہا مانو
“Therefore fear Allah, and obey me.”
so fear you God, and obey you me.'
انہوں نے کہا کیا ہم تجھ پر ایمان لائیں حالانکہ تیرے تابع توکمینے لوگ ہوئے ہیں
They said, “Shall we believe in you, whereas the abject people are with you?”
They said, 'Shall we believe thee, whom the vilest follow?'
کہا اور مجھے کیا خبر کہ وہ کیا کرتے تھے
He said, “What do I know what their deeds are?”
He said, 'What knowledge have I of that they have been doing?
ان کا حساب تو میرے رب ہی کے ذمہ ہے کاش کہ تم سمجھتے
“Indeed their account is only upon my Lord, if you perceive.”
Their account falls only upon my Lord, were you but aware.
اور میں ایمان والوں کو دور کرنے والا نہیں ہوں
“And I will not repel the Muslims.”
I would not drive away the believers;
میں تو بس کھول کر ڈرانے والا ہوں
“I am not but clearly a Herald of Warning.”
'I am naught but a plain warner.'
کہنے لگے اے نوح اگر تو باز نہ آیا تو ضرور سنگسار کیا جائے گا
They said, “O Nooh, if you do not desist you will surely be stoned.”
They said, 'If thou givest not over, Noah, thou shalt assuredly be one of the stoned.'
کہا اے میرے رب میری قوم نے مجھے جھٹلایا ہے
He said, “My Lord, my people have denied me.”
He said, 'My Lord, my people have cried me lies,
پس تو میرے اور ان کے درمیان فیصلہ ہی کر دے اور مجھے اور جو میرے ساتھ ایمان والے ہیں نجات دے
“Therefore make a decisive judgement between me and them, and rescue me and the believers along with me.”
so give true deliverance between me and them, and deliver me and the believers that are with me.
پھر ہم نے اسے اورجو اس کے ساتھ بھری کشتی میں تھے بچا لیا
So We saved him and those with him in a laden ship.
So We delivered him, and those with him, in the laden ship,
پھر ہم نے اس کے بعد باقی لوگوں کو غرق کر دیا
Then after it, We drowned the rest.
then afterwards We drowned the rest.
البتہ اس میں بڑی نشانی ہے اور ان میں سے اکثر ایمان لانے والے نہیں
Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not believers.
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
اور بے شک تیرا رب زبردست رحم کرنے والا ہے
And indeed your Lord, only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.
قوم عاد نے پیغمبروں کو جھٹلایا
(The tribe of) A’ad denied the Noble Messengers.
Ad cried lies to the Envoys
جب ان سے ان کے بھائی ہود نے کہا کہ تم کیوں نہیں ڈرتے
When their fellowman Hud said to them, “Do you not fear?”
when their brother Hood said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?
البتہ میں تمہارے لیے امانت دار رسول ہوں
“I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger of Allah to you.”
I am for you a faithful Messenger,
پس الله سے ڈرو اور میرا کہا مانو
“Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
so fear you God, and obey you me.
اور میں تم سے ا سپر کوئی مزدوری نہیں مانگتا میری مزدوری تو بس رب العالمین کے ذمہ ہے
“And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.
کیا تم ہر اونچی زمین پر کھیلنے کے لیے ایک نشان بناتے ہو
“What! You build a structure on every height, to laugh at the passers-by?”
What, do you build on every prominence a sign, sporting,
اوربڑے بڑے محل بناتے ہو شاید کہ تم ہمیشہ رہو گے
“And prefer strong palaces, that perhaps you may live for ever?”
and do you take to you castles, haply to dwell forever?
اورجب ہاتھ ڈالتے ہو تو بڑی سختی سےپکڑتے ہو
“And when you apprehend someone, you seize him mercilessly?”
When you assault, you assault like tyrants!
پس الله سے ڈرو اور میرا کہا مانو
“Therefore fear Allah, and obey me.”
So fear you God, and obey you me;
اور اس سے ڈرو جس نے تمہاری ان چیزوں سے مدد کی ہے جنہیں تم بھی جانتے ہو
“Fear Him Who has aided you with the things you know.”
and fear Him who has succoured you with what you know,
چارپایوں اور اولاد سے
“He aided you with cattle and sons.”
succoured you with flocks and sons,
اور باغوں اور چشموں سے تمہیں مدد دی
“And with gardens and water-springs.”
gardens and fountains.
میں تم پر ایک بڑے دن کے عذاب سے ڈرتا ہوں
“Indeed I fear upon you the punishment of a Great Day.”
'Indeed, I fear for you the chastisement of a dreadful day.'
کہنے لگے تو نصیحت کر یا نہ کر ہمارے لیے سب برابر ہے
They said, “It is the same for us, whether you advise us or not be of the preachers.”
They said, 'Alike it is to us, whether thou admonishest, or art not one of the admonishers;
یہ تو بس پہلے لوگوں کی ایک عادت ہے
“This is nothing but the tradition of former people.”
this is nothing but the habit of the ancients,
اور ہمیں عذاب نہیں ہوگا
“And we will not be punished.”
and we shall not be chastised.'
پھر انہو ں نے پیغمبر کو جھٹلایا تب ہم نے انہیں ہلاک کر دیا البتہ اس میں بڑی نشانی ہے اور ان میں اکثر ایمان لانے والے نہیں
In response they denied him – We therefore destroyed them; indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not believers.
So they cried him lies; then We destroyed them. Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
اور بے شک تیرا رب زبردست رحم کرنے والا ہے
And indeed your Lord – only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.
قوم ثمود نے پیغمبروں کو جھٹلایا
The Thamud tribe denied the Noble Messengers.
Thamood cried lies to the Envoys
جب ان سے ان کے بھائی صالح نے کہا کیا تم ڈرتے نہیں
When their fellowman Saleh said to them, “Do you not fear?”
when their brother Salih said to them, 'Will you not be godfearing?
میں تمہارے لیے امانت دار رسول ہوں
“I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger of Allah to you.”
I am for you a faithful Messenger,
پس الله سے ڈرو اور میرا کہا مانو
“Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
so fear you God, and obey you me.'
اور میں تم سے اسپر کوئی مزدوری نہیں مانگتا میری مزدوری تو بس رب العالمین کے ذمہ ہے
“And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
'I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.
کیا تمہیں ان چیزو ں میں یہاں بے فکری سے رہنے دیا جائے گا
“Will you be left peacefully in these favours over here?”
Will you be left secure in this here,
یعنی باغوں اور چشموں میں
“In gardens and water springs?”
among gardens and fountains,
اور کھیتوں اور کھجوروں میں جن کا خوشہ ملائم ہے
“And fields and palm-trees, with delicate tendrils?”
sown fields, and palms with slender spathes?
او رتم پہاڑوں کوتراش کر تکلف کے گھر بناتے ہو
“And you carve out dwellings in the mountains, with skill?”
Will you still skilfully hew houses out of the mountains?
پس الله سے ڈرو اور میرا کہا مانو
“Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
So fear you God, and obey you me;
اوران حد سے نکلنے والوں کا کہا مت مانو
“And do not follow those who exceed the limits.”
and obey not the commandment of the prodigal
جو زمین میں فساد کرتے ہیں اور اصلاح نہیں کرتے
“Those who spread turmoil in the earth, and do no reform.”
who do corruption in the earth, and set not things aright.'
کہنے لگے تم پر تو کسی نے جادو کیا ہے
They said, “You are under a magic spell.”
They said, 'Thou art merely one of those that are bewitched;
توبھی ہم جیسا ایک آدمی ہے سو کوئی نشانی لے آ اگر تو سچا ہے
“You are just a human like us; therefore bring some sign if you are truthful.”
thou art naught but a mortal, like us; then produce a sign, if thou art one of the truthful.'
کہا یہ اونٹنی ہے اسکے پینے کا ایک دن ہے اور یک دن معین تمہارے پینے کے لیے ہے
He said, “This is the she-camel – one day shall be her turn to drink, and on the other appointed day, shall be your turn.”
He said, 'This is a she-camel; to her a draught and to you a draught, on a day appointed,
اور اسے برائی سے ہاتھ نہ لگانا ورنہ تمہیں بڑے دن کا عذاب آ پکڑے گا
“And do not touch her with evil intentions for the punishment of the Great Day will seize you.”
and do not touch her with malice so that there seize you the chastisement of a dreadful day.'
سو انہوں نے اس کے پاؤں کاٹ ڈالے پھر پشیمان ہوئے
So they hamstrung her, and in the morning could only regret.
But they hamstrung her, and in the morning they were remorseful,
پھر انہیں عذاب نے آ پکڑا البتہ اس میں بڑی نشانی ہے اور ان میں سے اکثر ایمان لانے والے نہیں
The punishment therefore seized them; indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not believers.
and the chastisement seized them. Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
اوربے شک تیرا رب زبردست رحم کرنے والا ہے
And indeed your Lord – only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

I am for you a faithful Messenger,
پس الله سے ڈرو اور میرا کہا مانو
“Therefore fear Allah and obey me.”
so fear you God, and obey you me.
اورمیں تم سے اس پر کوئی مزودری نہیں مانگتا میری مزدوری تو بس اللهرب العالمین کے ذمہ ہے
“And I do not ask from you any fee for it; my reward is only upon the Lord Of The Creation.”
I ask of you no wage for this; my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being.
کیا تم دنیا کے لوگوں میں لڑکوں پر گرے پڑتے ہو
“What! Among all the creatures, you commit the immoral acts with men?”
What, do you come to male beings,
اور تمہارے رب نےجو تمہارے لیے بیویاں پیدا کر دی ہیں انہیں چھوڑ دیتے ہو بلکہ تم حد سے گزرنے والے لوگ ہو
“And leave the wives your Lord has created for you? In fact you are people who exceed the limits.”
leaving your wives that your Lord created for you? Nay, but you are a people of transgressors.
کہنے لگے اے لوط اگر تو ان باتوں سے باز نہ آیا تو ضرور تو نکال دیا جائے گا
They said, “O Lut, if you do not desist, you will be expelled.”
They said, 'If thou givest not over, Lot, thou shalt assuredly be one of the expelled.'
کہا میں تو تمہارے کام سے سخت بیزار ہوں
He said, “I am disgusted with your works.”
He said, 'Truly I am a detester of what you do.
اے میرے رب مجھے اور میرے گھر والوں کو اس کے وبال سے نجات دے جو وہ کرتے ہیں

My Lord, deliver me and my people from that they do.'
پھر ہم نے اسے اور اس کے سارے کنبے کو بچا لیا
We therefore rescued him and his entire family.
So We delivered him and his people all together,
مگر ایک بڑھیا جو پیچھے رہ گئی تھی
Except one old woman, who stayed behind.
save an old woman among those that tarried;
پھر ہم نے اور سب کو ہلاک کر دیا
We then destroyed the others.
then We destroyed the others,
اور ہم نے ان پر مینہ برسایا پھر ڈرائے ہوؤں پر بُرا مینہ برسا
And We showered a rain upon them; so what a wretched rain for those who were warned!
and We rained on them a rain; and evil is the rain of them that are warned.
البتہ اس میں بڑی نشانی ہے اور ان میں سے اکثر ایمان لانے والے نہیں
Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not Muslims.
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
اوربیشک تیرا رب زبردست رحم کرنے والا ہے
And indeed your Lord – only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

Fill up the measure, and be not cheaters,
اور صحیح ترازو سے تولا کرو
“And weigh with a proper balance.”
and weigh with the straight balance,
اور لوگوں کو ان کی چیزیں کم کر کے نہ دو اور ملک میں فساد مچاتے نہ پھرو
“And do not give the people their goods diminished, and do not roam the earth causing turmoil.”
and diminish not the goods of the people, and do not mischief in the earth, working corruption.
اور اس سے ڈرو جس نے تمہیں اور پہلی خلقت کو بنایا
“And fear Him Who created you and the earlier creations.”
Fear Him who created you, and the generations of the ancients.'
کہنے لگے کہ تم پر تو کسی نے جادو کر دیا
They said, “You are under a magic spell.”
They said, 'Thou art merely one of those that are bewitched;
اورتو بھی ہم جیسا ایک آدمی ہے اور ہمارے خیال میں تو تو جھوٹا ہے

Then drop down on us lumps from heaven, if thou art one of the truthful.'
کہا میرا رب خوب جانتا ہے جو کچھ تم کرتے ہو
He said, “My Lord is Well Aware of what you do.”
He said, 'My Lord knows very well what you are doing.'
پھر اسے جھٹلایا پھر انہیں سائبان والے دن کے عذاب نے پکڑ لیا بے شک وہ بڑے دن کا عذاب تھا
In response they denied him – therefore the punishment of the day of the tent* seized them; that was indeed a punishment of a Great Day. (The clouds formed a tent and rained fire upon them).
But they cried him lies; then there seized them the chastisement of the Day of Shadow; assuredly it was the chastisement of a dreadful day.
البتہ اس میں بڑی نشانی ہے اور ان میں سے اکثر ایمان لانے والے نہیں
Indeed in this is a sign; and most of them were not Muslims.
Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
اور بے شک تیرا رب زبردست رحم کرنے والا ہے
And indeed your Lord – only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.
اور یہ قرآن رب العالمین کا اتارا ہوا ہے
And indeed this Qur’an has been sent down by the Lord Of The Creation.
Truly it is the revelation of the Lord of all Being,
اسے امانت دار فرشتہ لے کر آیا ہے
The Trustworthy Spirit brought it down. (Angel Jibreel – peace be upon him.)
brought down by the Faithful Spirit
تیرے دل پر تاکہ تو ڈرانے والوں میں سے ہو
Upon your heart, for you to convey warning.
upon thy heart, that thou mayest be one of the warners,
صاف عربی زبان میں
In plain Arabic language.
in a clear, Arabic tongue.
اور البتہ اس کی خبر پہلوں کی کتابوں میں بھی ہے
And indeed it is mentioned in the earlier Books.
Truly it is in the Scriptures of the ancients.
کیا ان کے لیے نشانی کافی نہیں کہ اسے بنی اسرائیل کے علماء بھی جانتے ہیں
And was this not a sign for them, that the scholars of the Descendants of Israel may recognise this Prophet?
Was it not a sign for them, that it is known to the learned of the Children of Israel?
اور اگر ہم اسے کسی عجمی پر نازل کرتے
And had We sent it down upon a person other than an Arab,
If We had sent it down on a barbarian
پھر وہ اسے ان کے سامنے پڑھتا تو بھی ایمان نہ لاتے
In order that he read it to them, even then they would not have believed in it.
and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
اسی طرح ہم نے اس انکار کو گناہگاروں کے دل میں ڈال رکھا ہے
This is how We have made (the habit of) denying embedded in the hearts of the guilty.
Even so We have caused it to enter into the hearts of the sinners,
وہ دردناک عذاب دیکھے بغیر اس پر ایمان نہیں لائیں گے
They will not believe in it to the extent that they see the painful punishment.
who will not believe in it, until they see the painful chastisement
پھر وہ ان پر اچاناک آئے گا اور انہیں خبر بھی نہ ہوگی
So it will come upon them suddenly, whilst they will be unaware.
so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are not aware,
پھر کہیں گے کیا ہمیں مہلت مل سکتی ہے
They will therefore say, “Will we get some respite?”
and they will say, 'Shall we be respited?'
کیا ہمارے عذاب کو جلد چاہتے ہیں
So do they wish to hasten Our punishment?
What, do they seek to hasten Our chastisement?
بھلا دیکھ اگر ہم انہیں چند سال فائدہ اٹھانے دیں
Therefore observe, that if We give them some comforts for some years, –
What thinkest thou? If We give them enjoyment of days for many years,
پھر ان کے پاس وہ عذاب آئے جس کا وعدہ دیے جاتے ہیں
And then the promise that is given to them, does come upon them-
then there comes on them that they were promised,
تو جو انہوں نے فائدہ اٹھایا ہے کیا ان کے کچھ کام بھی آئے گا
So of what benefit will be the comforts that they were using?
what will it then avail them, the enjoyment of days they were given?
اور ہم نے ایسی کوئی بستی ہلاک نہیں کی جس کے لیے ڈرانے والے نہ آئے ہوں
And never did We destroy a township which did not have Heralds of warning, –
Never a city We destroyed, but it had warners
نصیحت دینے کے لیے اور ہم ظالم نہیں تھے
To advise; and We never oppress.
for a reminder; and never did We wrong.
اور قرآن کو شیطان لے کر نہیں نازل ہوئے
And this Qur’an was not brought down by the devils.
Not by the Satans has it been brought down;
اور نہ یہ ان کا کام ہے اور نہ وہ اسے کر سکتے ہیں
They are unworthy of it, nor can they do it.
it behoves them not, neither are they able.
وہ تو سننے کی جگہ سے بھی دور کر دیے گئے ہیں
Indeed they have been banished from the place of hearing.
Truly, they are expelled from hearing.
سو الله کے ساتھ کسی اور معبود کو نہ پکار ورنہ تو بھی عذاب میں مبتلا ہو جائے گا
Therefore do not worship another deity along with Allah, for you will be punished.
So call thou not upon another god with God, lest thou shouldst be one of those that are chastised.
اور اپنے قریب کے رشتہ داروں کو ڈرا
And O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), warn your closest relatives.
And warn thy clan, thy nearest kin.
اور جو ایمان لانے والے تیرے ساتھ ہیں ان کے لیے اپنا بازو جھکا ئے رکھ
And spread your wing of mercy for the believers following you.
Lower thy wing to those who follow thee, being believers;
پھر اگر تیری نافرمانی کریں تو کہہ دے میں تمہارے کام سے بیزار ہوں
So if they do not obey you, then say, “Indeed I am unconcerned with what you do.”
then, if they disobey thee, say, 'I am quit of that you do.'
اور زبردست رحم والے پر بھروسہ کر
And rely upon (Allah) the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Put thy trust in the All-mighty, the All-compassionate
جو تجھے دیکھتا ہے جب تو اٹھتا ہے
Who watches you when you stand up.
who sees thee when thou standest
اور نمازیوں میں تیری نشست و برخاست دیکھتا ہے
And watches your movements among those who prostrate in prayer.
and when thou turnest about among those who bow.
بیشک وہ سننے والا جاننے والا ہے
Indeed only He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.
Surely He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
کیا میں تمہیں بتاؤں شیطان کس پر اترتے ہیں
Shall I inform you upon whom do the devils descend?
Shall I tell you on whom the Satans come down?
ہر جھوٹے گناہگار پر اترتے ہیں
They descend on every great accuser, extreme sinner. (The magicians)
They come down on every guilty impostor.
وہ سنی ہوئی باتیں پہنچاتے ہیں اوراکثر ان میں سے جھوٹے ہوتے ہیں
The devils convey upon them what they heard, but most of them are liars.
They give ear, but most of them are liars.
اور شاعروں کی پیروی تو گمراہ ہی کرتے ہیں
And the astray follow the poets.
And the poets -- the perverse follow them;
کیا تم نےنہیں دیکھاکہ وہ ہر میدان میں بھٹکتے پھرتے ہیں
Did you not see that they keep wandering in every valley?
hast thou not seen how they wander in every valley
اور جو وہ کہتے ہیں کرتے نہیں
And they speak what they do not do?
and how they say that which they do not?
مگروہ جو ایمان لائے اور نیک کام کیے اور الله کوبہت یاد کیا اور مظلوم ہونے کے بعد بدلہ لیا اور ظالموں کو ابھی معلوم ہو جائے گا کہ کس کروٹ پر پڑتے ہیں
Except those who believed and did good deeds, and profusely remembered Allah, and took revenge after they had been wronged*; and soon the unjust will come to know upon which side they will be overturned**. (* The Muslim poets who praise Allah and the Prophet. ** The disbelievers will be punished.)
Save those that believe, and do righteous deeds, and remember God oft, and help themselves after being wronged; and those who do wrong shall surely know by what overturning they will he overturned.
