الـمّـدّثّـر

1 Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru

1 O you who are clothed!

2 Qum faanthir

2 Arise and warn,

3 Warabbaka fakabbir

3 And your Lord do magnify,

4 Wathiyabaka fatahhir

4 And your garments do purify,

5 Waalrrujza faohjur

5 And uncleanness do shun,

6 Wala tamnun tastakthiru

6 And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,

7 Walirabbika faisbir

7 And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.

8 Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

8 For when the trumpet is sounded,

9 Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

9 That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,

10 AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

10 For the unbelievers, anything but easy.

11 Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

11 Leave Me and him whom I created alone,

12 WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

12 And give him vast riches,

13 Wabaneena shuhoodan

13 And sons dwelling in his presence,

14 Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

14 And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;

15 Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

15 And yet he desires that I should add more!

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

16 By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

17 I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.

18 Innahu fakkara waqaddara

18 Surely he reflected and guessed,

19 Faqutila kayfa qaddara

19 But may he be cursed how he plotted;

20 Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

20 Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;

21 Thumma nathara

21 Then he looked,

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

22 Then he frowned and scowled,

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

23 Then he turned back and was big with pride,

24 Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

24 ~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

25 This is naught but the word of a mortal.

26 Saosleehi saqara

26 I will cast him into hell.

27 Wama adraka ma saqaru

27 And what will make you realize what hell is?

28 La tubqee wala tatharu

28 It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.

29 Lawwahatun lilbashari

29 It scorches the mortal.

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

30 Over it are nineteen.

31 Wama jaAAalna ashaba alnnari illa malaikatan wama jaAAalna AAiddatahum illa fitnatan lillatheena kafaroo liyastayqina allatheena ootoo alkitaba wayazdada allatheena amanoo eemanan wala yartaba allatheena ootoo alkitaba waalmuminoona waliyaqoola allatheena fee quloobihim maradun waalkafiroona matha arada Allahu bihatha mathalan kathalika yudillu Allahu man yashao wayahdee man yashao wama yaAAlamu junooda rabbika illa huwa wama hiya illa thikra lilbashari

31 And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.

32 Kalla waalqamari

32 Nay; I swear by the moon,

33 Waallayli ith adbara

33 And the night when it departs,

34 Waalssubhi itha asfara

34 And the daybreak when it shines;

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

35 Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),

36 Natheeran lilbashari

36 A warning to mortals,

37 Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

37 To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.

38 Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

38 Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,

39 Illa ashaba alyameeni

39 Except the people of the right hand,

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

40 In gardens, they shall ask each other

41 AAani almujrimeena

41 About the guilty:

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

42 What has brought you into hell?

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

43 They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

44 And we used not to feed the poor;

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

45 And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

46 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

47 Till death overtook us.

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

48 So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

49 What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

50 As if they were asses taking fright

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

51 That had fled from a lion?

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

52 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

53 Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

54 Nay! it is surely an admonition.

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

55 So whoever pleases may mind it.

56 Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati

56 And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
