Chapter 79, 46 verses
WaalnnaziAAati gharqan
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والنازعات غرقا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,
Waalnnashitati nashtan
والناشطات نشطا
By the meteors rushing,
Waalssabihati sabhan
والسابحات سبحا
By the lone stars floating,
Faalssabiqati sabqan
فالسابقات سبقا
By the angels hastening,
Faalmudabbirati amran
فالمدبرات أمرا
And those who govern the event,
Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu
يوم ترجف الراجفة
On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
TatbaAAuha alrradifatu
تتبعها الرادفة
And the second followeth it,
Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun
قلوب يومئذ واجفة
On that day hearts beat painfully
Absaruha khashiAAatun
أبصارها خاشعة
While eyes are downcast
Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati
يقولون أإنا لمردودون في الحافرة
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan
أإذا كنا عظاما نخرة
Even after we are crumbled bones ?
Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun
قالوا تلك إذا كرة خاسرة
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun
فإنما هي زجرة واحدة
Surely it will need but one shout,
Faitha hum bialssahirati
فإذا هم بالساهرة
And lo! they will be awakened.
Hal ataka hadeethu moosa
هل أتاك حديث موسى
Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?
Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan
إذ ناداه ربه بالواد المقدس طوى
How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,
Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha
اذهب إلى فرعون إنه طغى
(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -
Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka
فقل هل لك إلى أن تزكى
And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ?
Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha
وأهديك إلى ربك فتخشى
Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).
Faarahu alayata alkubra
فأراه الآية الكبرى
And he showed him the tremendous token.
Fakaththaba waAAasa
فكذب وعصى
But he denied and disobeyed,
Thumma adbara yasAAa
ثم أدبر يسعى
Then turned he away in haste,
Fahashara fanada
فحشر فنادى
Then gathered he and summoned
Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla
فقال أنا ربكم الأعلى
And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."
Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola
فأخذه الله نكال الآخرة والأولى
So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.
Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha
إن في ذلك لعبرة لمن يخشى
Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.
Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha
أأنتم أشد خلقا أم السماء ۚ بناها
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ?
RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha
رفع سمكها فسواها
He raised the height thereof and ordered it;
Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha
وأغطش ليلها وأخرج ضحاها
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha
والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها
And after that He spread the earth,
Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha
أخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها
And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,
Waaljibala arsaha
والجبال أرساها
And He made fast the hills,
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
A provision for you and for your cattle.
Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra
فإذا جاءت الطامة الكبرى
But when the great disaster cometh,
Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa
يوم يتذكر الإنسان ما سعى
The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,
Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara
وبرزت الجحيم لمن يرى
And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,
Faamma man tagha
فأما من طغى
Then, as for him who rebelled
Waathara alhayata alddunya
وآثر الحياة الدنيا
And chose the life of the world,
Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa
فإن الجحيم هي المأوى
Lo! hell will be his home.
Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa
وأما من خاف مقام ربه ونهى النفس عن الهوى
But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,
Fainna aljannata hiya almawa
فإن الجنة هي المأوى
Lo! the Garden will be his home.

فيم أنت من ذكراها
Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ?
Ila rabbika muntahaha
إلى ربك منتهاها
Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.
Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha
إنما أنت منذر من يخشاها
Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.
Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
كأنهم يوم يرونها لم يلبثوا إلا عشية أو ضحاها
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
