وَهُوَ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
While he was in the highest part of the horizon:
ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ
Then he approached and came closer,
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ
And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;
فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ مَآ أَوْحَىٰ
So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.
مَا كَذَبَ ٱلْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ
The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.
أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَىٰ
For indeed he saw him at a second descent,
عِندَ سِدْرَةِ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ
Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰٓ
Near it is the Garden of Abode.
إِذْ يَغْشَى ٱلسِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَىٰ
Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!)
مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ
(His) sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong!
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ
For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest!
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
