Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ
Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ
Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru
Mature wisdom; - but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ
KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun
They will come forth, - their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,

Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ
FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir
Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"

وَحَمَلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?

For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad!
فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍ وَسُعُرٍ
Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun
"Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"

SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru
