Chapter 77, 50 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والمرسلات عرفا
By the raging hurricanes,
And the winds that blow violently
فالعاصفات عصفا
By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;
And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]
والناشرات نشرا
By those who winnow with a winnowing,
And those [angels] who bring criterion
فالفارقات فرقا
By those who bring down the Reminder,
And those [angels] who deliver a message
فالملقيات ذكرا
To excuse or to warn,
As justification or warning,
عذرا أو نذرا
Surely that which ye are promised will befall.
Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.
إنما توعدون لواقع
So when the stars are put out,
So when the stars are obliterated
فإذا النجوم طمست
And when the sky is riven asunder,
And when the heaven is opened
وإذا السماء فرجت
And when the mountains are blown away,
And when the mountains are blown away
وإذا الجبال نسفت
And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -
And when the messengers' time has come...
وإذا الرسل أقتت
For what day is the time appointed ?
For what Day was it postponed?
لأي يوم أجلت
For the Day of Decision.
For the Day of Judgement.
ليوم الفصل
And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -
And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?
وما أدراك ما يوم الفصل
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Destroyed We not the former folk,
Did We not destroy the former peoples?
ألم نهلك الأولين
Then caused the latter folk to follow after ?
Then We will follow them with the later ones.
ثم نتبعهم الآخرين
Thus deal We ever with the guilty.
Thus do We deal with the criminals.
كذلك نفعل بالمجرمين

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Did We not create you from a base fluid
Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?
ألم نخلقكم من ماء مهين
Which We laid up in a safe abode
And We placed it in a firm lodging
فجعلناه في قرار مكين
For a known term ?
For a known extent.
إلى قدر معلوم
Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!
And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.
فقدرنا فنعم القادرون
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Have We not made the earth a receptacle
Have We not made the earth a container
ألم نجعل الأرض كفاتا
Both for the living and the dead,
Of the living and the dead?
أحياء وأمواتا
And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ?
And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water.
وجعلنا فيها رواسي شامخات وأسقيناكم ماء فراتا

(It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny;
[They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny.
انطلقوا إلى ما كنتم به تكذبون
Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,
Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns
انطلقوا إلى ظل ذي ثلاث شعب
(Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame.
[But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."
لا ظليل ولا يغني من اللهب
Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,
Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress,
إنها ترمي بشرر كالقصر
(Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.
As if they were yellowish [black] camels.
كأنه جمالت صفر
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse.
ولا يؤذن لهم فيعتذرون

Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains,
Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs
إن المتقين في ظلال وعيون
And fruits such as they desire.
And fruits from whatever they desire,
وفواكه مما يشتهون
(Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did.
