(1)وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرۡقً۬ا
By those who drag forth to destruction,
(2) وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشۡطً۬ا
By the meteors rushing,
(3) وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبۡحً۬ا
By the lone stars floating,
(4) فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبۡقً۬ا
By the angels hastening,
(5) فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَٲتِ أَمۡرً۬ا
And those who govern the event,
(6) يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
(7) تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
And the second followeth it,
(8) قُلُوبٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ وَاجِفَةٌ
On that day hearts beat painfully
(9) أَبۡصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ۬
While eyes are downcast
(10) يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِى ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ
Now they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
(11) أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمً۬ا نَّخِرَةً۬
Even after we are crumbled bones?
(12) قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذً۬ا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ۬
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
(13) فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجۡرَةٌ۬ وَٲحِدَةٌ۬
Surely it will need but one shout,
(14) فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
And lo! they will be awakened.
(15) هَلۡ أَتَٮٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses?
(16) إِذۡ نَادَٮٰهُ رَبُّهُ ۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,
(17) ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُ ۥ طَغَىٰ
Saying: Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -
(18) فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And say unto him: Hast thou will to grow in grace?
(19) وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ
Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear Him.
(20) فَأَرَٮٰهُ ٱلۡأَيَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ
And he showed him the tremendous token.
(21) فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
But he denied and disobeyed,
(22) ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ
Then turned he away in haste,
(23) فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Then gathered he and summoned
(24) فَقَالَ أَنَا۟ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ
And proclaimed: "I Pharaoh am your Lord the Highest."
(25) فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ
So Allah seized him and made him an example for the after life and for the former.
(26) إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةً۬ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰٓ
Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.
(27) ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَٮٰهَا
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built?
(28) رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّٮٰهَا
He raised the height thereof and ordered it;
(29) وَأَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَٮٰهَا
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
(30) وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٲلِكَ دَحَٮٰهَآ
And after that He spread the earth,
(31) أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡہَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَٮٰهَا
And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,
(32) وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَٮٰهَا
And He made fast the hills,
(33) مَتَـٰعً۬ا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَـٰمِكُمۡ
A provision for you and for your cattle.
(34) فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ
But when the great disaster cometh,
(35) يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
The day when man will call to mind his whole endeavour,
(36) وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,
(37) فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
Then, as for him who rebelled
(38) وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا
And chose the life of the world,
(39) فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ
Lo! hell will be his home.
(40) وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ
But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,
(41) فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ
Lo! the Garden will be his home.
(42) يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَٮٰهَا
They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port?
(43) فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَٮٰهَآ
Why ask they? What hast thou to tell thereof?
(44) إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَہَٮٰهَآ
Unto thy Lord belongeth knowledge of the term thereof.
(45) إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخۡشَٮٰهَا
Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.
(46) كَأَنَّہُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَہَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَٮٰهَا
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
