আন নাযিআত (যারা টেনে বের করে)

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

1 By those [angels] who extract with violence

2 By the meteors rushing,

2 And [by] those who remove with ease

3 By the lone stars floating,

3 And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

4 By the angels hastening,

4 And those who race each other in a race

5 And those who govern the event,

5 And those who arrange [each] matter,

6 On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

6 On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

7 And the second followeth it,

7 There will follow it the subsequent [one].

8 On that day hearts beat painfully

8 Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

9 While eyes are downcast

9 Their eyes humbled.

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

10 They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

11 Even after we are crumbled bones ?

11 Even if we should be decayed bones?

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

12 They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

13 Surely it will need but one shout,

13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

14 And lo! they will be awakened.

14 And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

15 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

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

16 When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

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

17 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

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

18 And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

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

19 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

20 And he showed him the tremendous token.

20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

21 But he denied and disobeyed,

21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

22 Then turned he away in haste,

22 Then he turned his back, striving.

23 Then gathered he and summoned

23 And he gathered [his people] and called out

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

24 And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

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

25 So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

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

26 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].

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

27 Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

28 He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

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

29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

30 And after that He spread the earth,

30 And after that He spread the earth.

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

31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

32 And He made fast the hills,

32 And the mountains He set firmly

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

34 But when the great disaster cometh,

34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

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

35 The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

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

36 And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

37 Then, as for him who rebelled

37 So as for he who transgressed

38 And chose the life of the world,

38 And preferred the life of the world,

39 Lo! hell will be his home.

39 Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

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

40 But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

41 Lo! the Garden will be his home.

41 Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

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

42 They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

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

43 In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

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

44 To your Lord is its finality.

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

45 You are only a warner for those who fear it.

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

46 It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
