Al Nazaat

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

2 By the meteors rushing,

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

3 By the lone stars floating,

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

4 By the angels hastening,

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

5 And those who govern the event,

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

6 On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

7 And the second followeth it,

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

8 On that day hearts beat painfully

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

9 While eyes are downcast

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

10 (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

11 Even after we are crumbled bones ?

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

12 They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

13 Surely it will need but one shout,

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

14 And lo! they will be awakened.

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

15 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

16 How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

17 (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

18 And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ?

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

19 Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

20 And he showed him the tremendous token.

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

21 But he denied and disobeyed,

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

22 Then turned he away in haste,

23 Fahashara fanada

23 Then gathered he and summoned

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

24 And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

25 So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

26 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

27 Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ?

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

28 He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

29 And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

30 And after that He spread the earth,

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

31 And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,

32 Waaljibala arsaha

32 And He made fast the hills,

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

34 But when the great disaster cometh,

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

35 The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

36 And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

37 Faamma man tagha

37 Then, as for him who rebelled

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

38 And chose the life of the world,

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

39 Lo! hell will be his home.

40 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

40 But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

41 Lo! the Garden will be his home.

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

42 They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port ?

43 Feema anta min thikraha

43 Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ?

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

44 Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

45 Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

46 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha

46 On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
