Sourate an-Najm : English Translation from http://wings.buffalo.edu/sa/muslim/quran/pickthall/

First Part
053.000 The Star

053.001 By the Star when it setteth,
053.002 Your comrade erreth not, nor is deceived;
053.003 Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.
053.004 It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired,
053.005 Which one of mighty powers hath taught him,
053.006 One vigorous; and he grew clear to view
053.007 When he was on the uppermost horizon.
053.008 Then he drew nigh and came down
053.009 Till he was (distant) two bows' length or even nearer,
053.010 And He revealed unto His slave that which He revealed.
053.011 The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw.
053.012 Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth ?
053.013 And verily he saw him yet another time
053.014 By the lote-tree of the utmost boundary,
053.015 Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode.
053.016 When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree,
053.017 The eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold.
053.018 Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.
053.019 Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza
053.020 And Manat, the third, the other ?
053.021 Are yours the males and His the females ?
053.022 That indeed were an unfair division!
053.023 They are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which Allah hath revealed no warrant. They follow but a guess and that which (they) themselves desire. And now the guidance from their Lord hath come unto them.
053.024 Or shall man have what he coveteth ?
053.025 But unto Allah belongeth the after (life), and the former.
