فالفارقات فرقا
Faalfariqati farqan
And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers,
فالملقيات ذكرا
Faalmulqiyati thikran
To cut off all excuses or to warn.
عذرا أو نذرا

Wama adraka ma yawmu alfasli
Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Did We not destroy the ancients?
ألم نهلك الأولين
Alam nuhliki alawwaleena
So shall We make later generations to follow them.
ثم نتبعهم الآخرين

فجعلناه في قرار مكين
FajaAAalnahu fee qararin makeenin
For a known period (determined by gestation)?

For the living and the dead?
أحياء وأمواتا
Ahyaan waamwatan
And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains, and have given you to drink sweet water?
وجعلنا فيها رواسي شامخات وأسقيناكم ماء فراتا
WajaAAalna feeha rawasiya shamikhatin waasqaynakum maan furatan

(It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny!
انطلقوا إلى ما كنتم به تكذبون
Intaliqoo ila ma kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
"Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-Fire smoke ascending) in three columns,
انطلقوا إلى ظل ذي ثلاث شعب
Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin
Neither shady, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire."
لا ظليل ولا يغني من اللهب
La thaleelin wala yughnee mina allahabi
Verily, it (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr (a fort or a huge log of wood),

As if they were yellow camels or bundles of ropes.

Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) shall be amidst shades and springs.
إن المتقين في ظلال وعيون
Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin
And fruits, such as they desire.
وفواكه مما يشتهون

Kuloo watamattaAAoo qaleelan innakum mujrimoona
Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

وإذا قيل لهم اركعوا لا يركعون
Waitha qeela lahumu irkaAAoo la yarkaAAoona
Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

Fabiayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yuminoona
