Chapter 77, 50 verses
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والمرسلات عرفا
وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًا
By the raging hurricanes,
Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
فالعاصفات عصفا
فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًا
Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
And scatter (things) far and wide;

وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًا

فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًا

Then spread abroad a Message,
فالملقيات ذكرا
فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا
To clear or to warn.
Whether of Justification or of Warning; -
عذرا أو نذرا
عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا
Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.
Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
