لترتيب وضع السور في المصحف أسباب تُطلِع على أنه توقيفي صادر عن حكيم، أحدها: بحسب الحروف كما في الحواميم، وثانيها: موافقة أول السورة لآخر ما قبلها كآخر الحمد في المعنى وأول البقرة.."

Hawamim OR Verses starting with the letters "hm"
هذه السور الست يطلق عليها اسم الحواميم لآنها ابتدأت كلها بـ (حم)وبالتالي لا أعتقد بإمكان إيجاد مقابل من كلمة واحدة في اللغة الإنجليزية لذلك يجوز تركها كما هي مع الشرح والله أعلم

The letters ح and م to refer to the chapters that begin: حم
I would transliterate this as "hawamim" and then add in an explanatory translatory, or footnote as it could be lengthy, to explain that this term refers to the "29 chapters of the Qur'an/Koran that begin with separate letters and not words"; these are chapters that begin with letters such as حم, الم, etc. Or you could translate as "hawamim (chapters of the Qur'an/Koran starting with the letters HA and MIM".

(Arabic“prefatory ones”)
also called hawamim (the letters ha and mim) , or huruf al-muqatta'ah (Arabic: the “detached letters”) letters of the alphabet appearing at the beginning of 29 of the surahs (chapters) of the Muslim sacred scripture, the Qur'an. The 14 letters thus designated occur singly and in various combinations of two to five. As the letters always stand separately (muqatta'ah), they do not form words and are read by their alphabetic names, as ha mim, alif lam mim, ta sin mim.
Hope that helps, Aisha
