(1)وَٱلذَّٲرِيَـٰتِ ذَرۡوً۬ا
By those that winnow with a winnowing
(2) فَٱلۡحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقۡرً۬ا
And those that bear the burden of the rain
(3) فَٱلۡجَـٰرِيَـٰتِ يُسۡرً۬ا
And those that glide with ease upon the sea
(4) فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمۡرًا
And those who distribute blessings by command,
(5) إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ۬
Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true,
(6) وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٲقِعٌ۬
And lo! the judgment will indeed befall.
(7) وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ
By the heaven full of paths,
(8) إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِى قَوۡلٍ۬ مُّخۡتَلِفٍ۬
Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion concerning the truth.
(9) يُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ
He is made to turn away from it who is himself averse.
(10) قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّٲصُونَ
Accursed be the conjecturers
(11) ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِى غَمۡرَةٍ۬ سَاهُونَ
Who are careless in an abyss!
(12) يَسۡـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
They ask: When is the Day of Judgment?
(13) يَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفۡتَنُونَ
It is the day when they will be tormented at the Fire,
(14) ذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ
And it will be said unto them: Taste your torment which ye inflicted. This is what ye sought to hasten.
(15) إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ وَعُيُونٍ
Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings,
(16) ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَٮٰهُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡۚ إِنَّہُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٲلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ
Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good;
(17) كَانُواْ قَلِيلاً۬ مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَہۡجَعُونَ
They used to sleep but little of the night,
(18) وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ
And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness,
(19) وَفِىٓ أَمۡوَٲلِهِمۡ حَقٌّ۬ لِّلسَّآٮِٕلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ
And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share.
(20) وَفِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَـٰتٌ۬ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ
And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure.
(21) وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ
And also in yourselves. Can ye then not see?
(22) وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ
And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised;
(23) فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُ ۥ لَحَقٌّ۬ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ
And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as it is true that ye speak.
(24) هَلۡ أَتَٮٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ
Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee O Muhammad?
(25) إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَـٰمً۬اۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ۬ قَوۡمٌ۬ مُّنكَرُونَ
When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! and thought: Folk unknown to me.
(26) فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجۡلٍ۬ سَمِينٍ۬
Then he went apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a fatted calf;
(27) فَقَرَّبَهُ ۥۤ إِلَيۡہِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ
And he set it before them, saying: Will ye not eat?
(28) فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡہُمۡ خِيفَةً۬ۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ۬
Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of the birth of a wise son.
(29) فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُ ۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ۬ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ۬
Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman!
(30) قَالُواْ كَذَٲلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُ ۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower.
(31) ۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَيُّہَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ
Abraham said: And afterward what is your errand, O ye sent from Allah?
(32) قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمٍ۬ مُّجۡرِمِينَ
They said: Lo! we are sent unto a guilty folk,
(33) لِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡہِمۡ حِجَارَةً۬ مِّن طِينٍ۬
That we may send upon them stones of clay,
(34) مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
Marked by thy Lord for the destruction of the wanton.
(35) فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِيہَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
Then we brought forth such believers as were there.
(36) فَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِيہَا غَيۡرَ بَيۡتٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ
But We found there but one house of those surrendered to Allah.
(37) وَتَرَكۡنَا فِيہَآ ءَايَةً۬ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ
And We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom.
(38) وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَـٰنٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ۬
And in Moses too, there is a portent when We sent him unto Pharaoh with clear warrant,
(39) فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ۬
But he withdrew confiding in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman.
(40) فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُ ۥ فَنَبَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ۬
So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was reprobate.
(41) وَفِى عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡہِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلۡعَقِيمَ
And in the tribe of A'ad there is a portent when we sent the fatal wind against them.
(42) مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ
It spared naught that it reached, but made it all as dust.
(43) وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُواْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ۬
And in the tribe of Thamud there is a portent when it was told them: Take your ease awhile.
(44) فَعَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّہِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ
But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;
(45) فَمَا ٱسۡتَطَـٰعُواْ مِن قِيَامٍ۬ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنتَصِرِينَ
And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
(46) وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٍ۬ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّہُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمً۬ا فَـٰسِقِينَ
And the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious folk.
(47) وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَـٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدٍ۬ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent thereof.
(48) وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَـٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَـٰهِدُونَ
And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader thereof!
(49) وَمِن ڪُلِّ شَىۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ
And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.
(50) فَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ۬
Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.
(51) وَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ۬
And set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from Him.
(52) كَذَٲلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ
Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!
(53) أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٌ۬ طَاغُونَ
Have they handed down the saying as an heirloom one unto another? Nay, but they are froward folk.
(54) فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡہُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ۬
So withdraw from them O Muhammad, for thou art in no wise blameworthy,
(55) وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
And warn, for warning profiteth believers.
(56) وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ
I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.
(57) مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡہُم مِّن رِّزۡقٍ۬ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ
I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.
(58) إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ
Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.
(59) فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبً۬ا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَـٰبِہِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ
And lo! for those who now do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day which came for their likes of old; so let them not ask Me to hasten on that day.
(60) فَوَيۡلٌ۬ لِّلَّذِينَ ڪَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
And woe unto those who disbelieve, from that their day which they are promised.
