Chapter 77, 50 verses
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والمرسلات عرفا
وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًا
By the raging hurricanes,
And the winds that blow violently
فالعاصفات عصفا
فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًا
Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]
والناشرات نشرا
وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًا
Then separate them one from another,
And those [angels] who bring criterion
فالفارقات فرقا
فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًا
Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
And those [angels] who deliver a message
فالملقيات ذكرا
فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا
To clear or to warn.
As justification or warning,
عذرا أو نذرا
عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا
Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.
Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.
إنما توعدون لواقع
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌ
So when the stars are made to lose their light,
So when the stars are obliterated
فإذا النجوم طمست
فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ
And when the heaven is rent asunder,
And when the heaven is opened
وإذا السماء فرجت
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ
And when the mountains are carried away as dust,
And when the mountains are blown away
وإذا الجبال نسفت
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ
And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time
And when the messengers' time has come...
وإذا الرسل أقتت
وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ
To what day is the doom fixed?
For what Day was it postponed?
لأي يوم أجلت
لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ
To the day of decision.
For the Day of Judgement.
ليوم الفصل
لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ
And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?
And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Then We will follow them with the later ones.
ثم نتبعهم الآخرين
ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ
Then We placed it in a secure resting - place,
And We placed it in a firm lodging
فجعلناه في قرار مكين
فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ
Till an appointed term,
For a known extent.
إلى قدر معلوم
إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
So We proportion it - - how well are We at proportioning (things).
And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا
The living and the dead,
Of the living and the dead?
أحياء وأمواتا
أَحْيَآءً وَأَمْوَٰتًا
And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water?
And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water.
وجعلنا فيها رواسي شامخات وأسقيناكم ماء فراتا
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءً فُرَاتًا
