By those lined
(in) rows

وَالصَّافَّاتِ صَفًّا

By those ˹angels˺ lined up in ranks,
37:2
And those who drive
strongly
(2)

فَالزَّاجِرَاتِ زَجْرًا

and those who diligently drive ˹the clouds˺,
37:3
And those who recite
(the) Message
(3)

فَالتَّالِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا

and those who recite the Reminder!

Indeed
your Lord
(is) surely One
(4)

إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ

Surely your God is One!
37:5
Lord
(of) the heavens
and the earth
and what
(is) between both of them
and Lord
(of) each point of sunrise
(5)

رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِ

˹He is˺ the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, and the Lord of all points of sunrise.
37:6
Indeed, We
[We] adorned
the sky
[the world]
with an adornment
(of) the stars
(6)

إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ

Indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven with the stars for decoration
37:7
And (to) guard

وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَّارِدٍ

and ˹for˺ protection from every rebellious devil.
37:8
Not
they may listen
to
the assembly
[the] exalted
are pelted
from
every
side
(8)

لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ

They cannot listen to the highest assembly ˹of angels˺ for they are pelted from every side,
37:9
ﭽﭾRepelled
ﭿand for them
(is) a punishment
perpetual
(9)

دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

˹fiercely˺ driven away. And they will suffer an everlasting torment.
37:10
Except
(him) who
snatches
(by) theft
but follows him
a burning flame
piercing
(10)

إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ

But whoever manages to stealthily eavesdrop is ˹instantly˺ pursued by a piercing flare.
