আন্ নাজআ’ত (মুক্তি)

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

1 I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,

2 By the meteors rushing,

2 And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,

3 By the lone stars floating,

3 And by those who float in space,

4 By the angels hastening,

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

5 And those who govern the event,

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

6 On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

7 And the second followeth it,

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

8 On that day hearts beat painfully

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

9 While eyes are downcast

9 Their eyes cast down.

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

10 They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?

11 Even after we are crumbled bones ?

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

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

12 They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.

13 Surely it will need but one shout,

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

14 And lo! they will be awakened.

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

15 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

15 Has not there come to you the story of Musa?

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

16 When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,

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

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

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

18 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:

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

19 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.

20 And he showed him the tremendous token.

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

21 But he denied and disobeyed,

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

22 Then turned he away in haste,

22 Then he went back hastily.

23 Then gathered he and summoned

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

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

24 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.

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

25 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.

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

26 Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

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

27 Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.

28 He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

28 He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.

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

29 And He made dark its night and brought out its light.

30 And after that He spread the earth,

30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.

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

31 He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.

32 And He made fast the hills,

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

34 But when the great disaster cometh,

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

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

35 The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

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

36 And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

37 Then, as for him who rebelled

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

38 And chose the life of the world,

38 And prefers the life of this world,

39 Lo! hell will be his home.

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

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

40 And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

41 Lo! the Garden will be his home.

41 Then surely the garden - - that is the abode.

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

42 They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

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

43 About what! You are one to remind of it.

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

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

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

45 You are only a warner to him who would 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 On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.
