By those [winds] sent forth in gusts
Chapter 77, 50 verses
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
Waalmursalati AAurfan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts
By the raging hurricanes,
FaalAAasifati AAasfan
فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا
And the winds that blow violently
Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
Waalnnashirati nashran
وَالنَّاشِرَاتِ نَشْرًا
And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]
Then separate them one from another,
Faalfariqati farqan
فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا
And those [angels] who bring criterion
Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
Faalmulqiyati thikran
فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا
And those [angels] who deliver a message
To clear or to warn.
AAuthran aw nuthran
عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا
As justification or warning,
Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.
