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