I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والمرسلات عرفا
Waalmursalati AAurfan
Chapter 77, 50 verses
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والمرسلات عرفا
Waalmursalati AAurfan
By the raging hurricanes,
فالعاصفات عصفا
FaalAAasifati AAasfan
Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
والناشرات نشرا
Waalnnashirati nashran
Then separate them one from another,
فالفارقات فرقا
Faalfariqati farqan
Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
فالملقيات ذكرا
Faalmulqiyati thikran
To clear or to warn.
عذرا أو نذرا
AAuthran aw nuthran
Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.
إنما توعدون لواقع
Innama tooAAadoona lawaqiAAun
So when the stars are made to lose their light,
فإذا النجوم طمست
Faitha alnnujoomu tumisat
And when the heaven is rent asunder,
وإذا السماء فرجت
Waitha alssamao furijat
And when the mountains are carried away as dust,
وإذا الجبال نسفت
Waitha aljibalu nusifat
And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time
وإذا الرسل أقتت
Waitha alrrusulu oqqitat
To what day is the doom fixed?
لأي يوم أجلت
Liayyi yawmin ojjilat
To the day of decision.
ليوم الفصل
Liyawmi alfasli
And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?
وما أدراك ما يوم الفصل
Wama adraka ma yawmu alfasli
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Did We not destroy the former generations?
ألم نهلك الأولين
Alam nuhliki alawwaleena
Then did We follow them up with later ones.
ثم نتبعهم الآخرين
Thumma nutbiAAuhumu alakhireena
Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.
كذلك نفعل بالمجرمين
Kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Did We not create you from contemptible water?
ألم نخلقكم من ماء مهين
Alam nakhluqkum min main maheenin
Then We placed it in a secure resting - place,
فجعلناه في قرار مكين
FajaAAalnahu fee qararin makeenin
Till an appointed term,
إلى قدر معلوم
Ila qadarin maAAloomin
So We proportion it - - how well are We at proportioning (things).
فقدرنا فنعم القادرون
Faqadarna faniAAma alqadiroona
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself,
ألم نجعل الأرض كفاتا
Alam najAAali alarda kifatan
The living and the dead,
أحياء وأمواتا
Ahyaan waamwatan
And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water?
وجعلنا فيها رواسي شامخات وأسقيناكم ماء فراتا
WajaAAalna feeha rawasiya shamikhatin waasqaynakum maan furatan
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Walk on to that which you called a lie.
انطلقوا إلى ما كنتم به تكذبون
Intaliqoo ila ma kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
Walk on to the covering having three branches,
انطلقوا إلى ظل ذي ثلاث شعب
Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin
Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame.
لا ظليل ولا يغني من اللهب
La thaleelin wala yughnee mina allahabi
Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,
إنها ترمي بشرر كالقصر
Innaha tarmee bishararin kaalqasri
As if they were tawny camels.
كأنه جمالت صفر
Kaannahu jimalatun sufrun
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
This is the day on which they shall not speak,
هذا يوم لا ينطقون
Hatha yawmu la yantiqoona
And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses.
ولا يؤذن لهم فيعتذرون
Wala yuthanu lahum fayaAAtathiroona
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore.
هذا يوم الفصل ۖ جمعناكم والأولين
Hatha yawmu alfasli jamaAAnakum waalawwaleena
So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).
فإن كان لكم كيد فكيدون
Fain kana lakum kaydun fakeedooni
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains,
إن المتقين في ظلال وعيون
Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin
And fruits such as they desire.
وفواكه مما يشتهون
Wafawakiha mimma yashtahoona
Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.
كلوا واشربوا هنيئا بما كنتم تعملون
Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima kuntum taAAmaloona
Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.
إنا كذلك نجزي المحسنين
Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty.
كلوا وتمتعوا قليلا إنكم مجرمون
Kuloo watamattaAAoo qaleelan innakum mujrimoona
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down.
وإذا قيل لهم اركعوا لا يركعون
Waitha qeela lahumu irkaAAoo la yarkaAAoona
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe?
فبأي حديث بعده يؤمنون
Fabiayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yuminoona
