بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا
Waalmursalati AAurfan
By the raging hurricanes,
فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا
FaalAAasifati AAasfan
By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;

By those who winnow with a winnowing,
فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا
Faalfariqati farqan
By those who bring down the Reminder,
فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا
Faalmulqiyati thikran
To excuse or to warn,
عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا
AAuthran aw nuthran
Surely that which ye are promised will befall.

Both for the living and the dead,
أَحْيَاءً وَأَمْوَاتًا
Ahyaan waamwatan
And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ?

Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,
إِنَّهَا تَرْمِي بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصْرِ
Innaha tarmee bishararin kaalqasri
