الـنبإ

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Whereof do they question one another ?

1 AAamma yatasaaloona

2 (It is) of the awful tidings,

2 AAani alnnabai alAAatheemi

3 Concerning which they are in disagreement.

3 Allathee hum feehi mukhtalifoona

4 Nay, but they will come to know!

4 Kalla sayaAAlamoona

5 Nay, again, but they will come to know!

5 Thumma kalla sayaAAlamoona

6 Have We not made the earth an expanse,

6 Alam najAAali alarda mihadan

7 And the high hills bulwarks ?

7 Waaljibala awtadan

8 And We have created you in pairs,

8 Wakhalaqnakum azwajan

9 And have appointed your sleep for repose,

9 WajaAAalna nawmakum subatan

10 And have appointed the night as a cloak,

10 WajaAAalna allayla libasan

11 And have appointed the day for livelihood.

11 WajaAAalna alnnahara maAAashan

12 And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),

12 Wabanayna fawqakum sabAAan shidadan

13 And have appointed a dazzling lamp,

13 WajaAAalna sirajan wahhajan

14 And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,

14 Waanzalna mina almuAAsirati maan thajjajan

15 Thereby to produce grain and plant,

15 Linukhrija bihi habban wanabatan

16 And gardens of thick foliage.

16 Wajannatin alfafan

17 Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

17 Inna yawma alfasli kana meeqatan

18 A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,

18 Yawma yunfakhu fee alssoori fatatoona afwajan

19 And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,

19 Wafutihati alssamao fakanat abwaban

20 And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.

20 Wasuyyirati aljibalu fakanat saraban

21 Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,

21 Inna jahannama kanat mirsadan

22 A home for the rebellious.

22 Lilttagheena maaban

23 They will abide therein for ages.

23 Labitheena feeha ahqaban

24 Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink

24 La yathooqoona feeha bardan wala sharaban

25 Save boiling water and a paralysing cold:

25 Illa hameeman waghassaqan

26 Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds).

26 Jazaan wifaqan

27 For lo! they looked not for a reckoning;

27 Innahum kanoo la yarjoona hisaban

28 They called Our revelations false with strong denial.

28 Wakaththaboo biayatina kiththaban

29 Everything have We recorded in a Book.

29 Wakulla shayin ahsaynahu kitaban

30 So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.

30 Fathooqoo falan nazeedakum illa AAathaban

31 Lo! for the duteous is achievement -

31 Inna lilmuttaqeena mafazan

32 Gardens enclosed and vineyards,

32 Hadaiqa waaAAnaban

33 And maidens for companions,

33 WakawaAAiba atraban

34 And a full cup.

34 Wakasan dihaqan

35 There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -

35 La yasmaAAoona feeha laghwan wala kiththaban

36 Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -

36 Jazaan min rabbika AAataan hisaban

37 Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.

37 Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma alrrahmani la yamlikoona minhu khitaban

38 On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.

38 Yawma yaqoomu alrroohu waalmalaikatu saffan la yatakallamoona illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waqala sawaban

39 That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.

39 Thalika alyawmu alhaqqu faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi maaban

40 Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!"

40 Inna antharnakum AAathaban qareeban yawma yanthuru almaro ma qaddamat yadahu wayaqoolu alkafiru ya laytanee kuntu turaban
