الـمّـدّثّـر

1 Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O thou enveloped in thy cloak,

2 Qum faanthir

2 Arise and warn!

3 Warabbaka fakabbir

3 Thy Lord magnify,

4 Wathiyabaka fatahhir

4 Thy raiment purify,

5 Waalrrujza faohjur

5 Pollution shun!

6 Wala tamnun tastakthiru

6 And show not favour, seeking wordly gain!

7 Walirabbika faisbir

7 For the sake of thy Lord, be patient!

8 Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

8 For when the trumpet shall sound,

9 Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

9 Surely that day will be a day of anguish,

10 AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

10 Not of ease, for disbelievers.

11 Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

11 Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,

12 WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

12 And then bestowed upon him ample means,

13 Wabaneena shuhoodan

13 And sons abiding in his presence

14 Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

14 And made (life) smooth for him.

15 Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

15 Yet he desireth that I should give more.

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

16 Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

17 On him I shall impose a fearful doom.

18 Innahu fakkara waqaddara

18 For lo! he did consider; then he planned -

19 Faqutila kayfa qaddara

19 (Self - )destroyed is he, how he planned!

20 Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

20 Again (self - )destroyed is he, how he planned! -

21 Thumma nathara

21 Then looked he,

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

22 Then frowned he and showed displeasure.

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

23 Then turned he away in pride

24 Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

24 And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

25 This is naught else than speech of mortal man.

26 Saosleehi saqara

26 Him shall I fling unto the burning.

27 Wama adraka ma saqaru

27 - Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -

28 La tubqee wala tatharu

28 It leaveth naught; it spareth naught

29 Lawwahatun lilbashari

29 It shrivelleth the man.

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

30 Above it are nineteen.

31 Wama jaAAalna ashaba alnnari illa malaikatan wama jaAAalna AAiddatahum illa fitnatan lillatheena kafaroo liyastayqina allatheena ootoo alkitaba wayazdada allatheena amanoo eemanan wala yartaba allatheena ootoo alkitaba waalmuminoona waliyaqoola allatheena fee quloobihim maradun waalkafiroona matha arada Allahu bihatha mathalan kathalika yudillu Allahu man yashao wayahdee man yashao wama yaAAlamu junooda rabbika illa huwa wama hiya illa thikra lilbashari

31 We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

32 Kalla waalqamari

32 Nay, by the Moon

33 Waallayli ith adbara

33 And the night when it withdraweth

34 Waalssubhi itha asfara

34 And the dawn when it shineth forth,

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

35 Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)

36 Natheeran lilbashari

36 As a warning unto men,

37 Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

37 Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.

38 Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

38 Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;

39 Illa ashaba alyameeni

39 Save those who will stand on the right hand.

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

40 In gardens they will ask one another

41 AAani almujrimeena

41 Concerning the guilty:

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

42 What hath brought you to this burning ?

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

43 They will answer: We were not of those who prayed

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

44 Nor did we feed the wretched.

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

45 We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

46 And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

47 Till the Inevitable came unto us.

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

48 The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

49 Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

50 As they were frightened asses

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

51 Fleeing from a lion ?

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

52 Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

53 Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

54 Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

55 So whosoever will may heed.

56 Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati

56 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
