In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another
Waalmursalati AAurfan
By the raging hurricanes,
FaalAAasifati AAasfan
By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;
Waalnnashirati nashran
By those who winnow with a winnowing,
Faalfariqati farqan
By those who bring down the Reminder,
Faalmulqiyati thikran
To excuse or to warn,
AAuthran aw nuthran
Surely that which ye are promised will befall.
Innama tooAAadoona lawaqiAAun
So when the stars are put out,
Faitha alnnujoomu tumisat

Waitha aljibalu nusifat
And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -
Waitha alrrusulu oqqitat
For what day is the time appointed ?
Liayyi yawmin ojjilat
For the Day of Decision.

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin

Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains,
Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin
And fruits such as they desire.
Wafawakiha mimma yashtahoona
(Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did.
