الـقمـر

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.

1 Iqtarabati alssaAAatu wainshaqqa alqamaru

2 And if they behold a portent they turn away and say: Prolonged illusion.

2 Wain yaraw ayatan yuAAridoo wayaqooloo sihrun mustamirrun

3 They denied (the Truth) and followed their own lusts. Yet everything will come to a decision

3 Wakaththaboo waittabaAAoo ahwaahum wakullu amrin mustaqirrun

4 And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter,

4 Walaqad jaahum mina alanbai ma feehi muzdajarun

5 Effective wisdom; but warnings avail not.

5 Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru

6 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing.

6 Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin

7 With downcast eyes, they come forth from the graves as they were locusts spread abroad,

7 KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun

8 Hastening toward the summoner; the disbelievers say: This is a hard day.

8 MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun

9 The folk of Noah denied before them, yea, they denied Our slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed.

9 Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira

10 So he cried unto his Lord, saying: I am vanquished, so give help.

10 FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir

11 Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water

11 Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin

12 And caused the earth to gush forth springs, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose.

12 Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira

13 And We carried him upon a thing of planks and nails,

13 Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin

14 That ran (upon the waters) in Our sight, as a reward for him who was rejected.

14 Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira

15 And verily We left it as a token; but is there any that remembereth ?

15 Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin

16 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!

16 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

17 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?

17 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

18 (The tribe of) A'ad rejected warnings. Then how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings.

18 Kaththabat AAadun fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

19 Lo! We let loose on them a raging wind on a day of constant calamity,

19 Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin

20 Sweeping men away as though they were uprooted trunks of palm - trees.

20 TanziAAu alnnasa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin munqaAAirin

21 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!

21 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

22 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?

22 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

23 (The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings

23 Kaththabat thamoodu bialnnuthuri

24 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow ? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness.

24 Faqaloo abasharan minna wahidan nattabiAAuhu inna ithan lafee dalalin wasuAAurin

25 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us ? Nay, but he is a rash liar.

25 Aolqiya alththikru AAalayhi min baynina bal huwa kaththabun ashirun

26 (Unto their warner it was said): To - morrow they will know who is the rash liar.

26 SayaAAlamoona ghadan mani alkaththabu alashiru

27 Lo! We are sending the she - camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience;

27 Inna mursiloo alnnaqati fitnatan lahum fairtaqibhum waistabir

28 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed.

28 Wanabbihum anna almaa qismatun baynahum kullu shirbin muhtadarun

29 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her).

29 Fanadaw sahibahum fataAAata faAAaqara

30 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings!

30 Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

31 Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle - fold.

31 Inna arsalna AAalayhim sayhatan wahidatan fakanoo kahasheemi almuhtathiri

32 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?

32 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

33 The folk of Lot rejected warnings.

33 Kaththabat qawmu lootin bialnnuthuri

34 Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night,

34 Inna arsalna AAalayhim hasiban illa ala lootin najjaynahum bisaharin

35 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks.

35 NiAAmatan min AAindina kathalika najzee man shakara

36 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings.

36 Walaqad antharahum batshatana fatamaraw bialnnuthuri

37 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings!

37 Walaqad rawadoohu AAan dayfihi fatamasna aAAyunahum fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri

38 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning.

38 Walaqad sabbahahum bukratan AAathabun mustaqirrun

39 Now taste My punishment after My warnings!

39 Fathooqoo AAathabee wanuthuri

40 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth ?

40 Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

41 And warnings came in truth unto the house of Pharaoh

41 Walaqad jaa ala firAAawna alnnuthuru

42 Who denied Our revelations, every one. Therefore We grasped them with the grasp of the Mighty, the Powerful.

42 Kaththaboo biayatina kulliha faakhathnahum akhtha AAazeezin muqtadirin

43 Are your disbelievers better than those, or have ye some immunity in the scriptures ?

43 Akuffarukum khayrun min olaikum am lakum baraatun fee alzzuburi

44 Or say they: We are a host victorious ?

44 Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun

45 The hosts will all be routed and will turn and flee.

45 Sayuhzamu aljamAAu wayuwalloona alddubura

46 Nay, but the Hour (of doom) is their appointed tryst, and the Hour will be more wretched and more bitter (than their earthly failure).

46 Bali alssaAAatu mawAAiduhum waalssaAAatu adha waamarru

47 Lo! the guilty are in error and madness.

47 Inna almujrimeena fee dalalin wasuAAurin

48 On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces (it is said unto them): Feel the touch of hell.

48 Yawma yushaboona fee alnnari AAala wujoohihim thooqoo massa saqara

49 Lo! We have created every thing by measure.

49 Inna kulla shayin khalaqnahu biqadarin

50 And Our commandment is but one (commandment), as the twinkling of an eye.

50 Wama amruna illa wahidatun kalamhin bialbasari

51 And verily We have destroyed your fellows; but is there any that remembereth ?

51 Walaqad ahlakna ashyaAAakum fahal min muddakirin

52 And every thing they did is in the scriptures,

52 Wakullu shayin faAAaloohu fee alzzuburi

53 And every small and great thing is recorded.

53 Wakullu sagheerin wakabeerin mustatarun

54 Lo! the righteous will dwell among gardens and rivers,

54 Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaharin

55 Firmly established in the favour of a Mighty King.

55 Fee maqAAadi sidqin AAinda maleekin muqtadirin
