حَتَّىٰٓ Until إِذَا when بَلَغَ he reached مَغْرِبَ (the) setting place ٱلشَّمْسِ (of) the sun وَجَدَهَا he found it تَغْرُبُ setting فِى in عَيْنٍ a spring حَمِئَةٍۢ (of) dark mud وَوَجَدَ and he found عِندَهَا near it قَوْمًۭا ۗ a community قُلْنَا We said يَـٰذَا O Dhul-qarnain ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ O Dhul-qarnain إِمَّآ Either أَن [that] تُعَذِّبَ you punish وَإِمَّآ or أَن [that] تَتَّخِذَ you take فِيهِمْ [in] them حُسْنًۭا (with) goodness ٨٦
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun [i.e., the west], he found it [as if] setting in a body of dark water, and he found near it a people. We [i.e., Allāh] said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
