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 the raging hurricanes,
FaalAAasifati AAasfan
فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا
Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
Waalnnashirati nashran
وَالنَّاشِرَاتِ نَشْرًا
Then separate them one from another,
Faalfariqati farqan
فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا
Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
Faalmulqiyati thikran
فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا
To clear or to warn.
AAuthran aw nuthran
عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا
Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.
Innama tooAAadoona lawaqiAAun
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَاقِعٌ

Faitha alnnujoomu tumisat
فَإِذَا النُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ
And when the heaven is rent asunder,
Waitha alssamao furijat
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ فُرِجَتْ
And when the mountains are carried away as dust,

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ
And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time
Waitha alrrusulu oqqitat
وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ
To what day is the doom fixed?
Liayyi yawmin ojjilat
لِأَيِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ
To the day of decision.
Liyawmi alfasli
لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ
And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?
