আন্ নাজআ’ত (মুক্তি)

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

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

1 By those [angels] who extract with violence

2 By the meteors rushing,

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

2 And [by] those who remove with ease

3 By the lone stars floating,

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

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

4 By the angels hastening,

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

4 And those who race each other in a race

5 And those who govern the event,

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

5 And those who arrange [each] matter,

6 On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

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

7 And the second followeth it,

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

7 There will follow it the subsequent [one].

8 On that day hearts beat painfully

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

8 Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

9 While eyes are downcast

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

9 Their eyes humbled.

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

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

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

11 Even after we are crumbled bones ?

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

11 Even if we should be decayed bones?

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

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

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

13 Surely it will need but one shout,

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

14 And lo! they will be awakened.

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

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

15 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

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

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

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

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

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

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

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

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

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 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

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

20 And he showed him the tremendous token.

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

21 But he denied and disobeyed,

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

22 Then turned he away in haste,

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

22 Then he turned his back, striving.

23 Then gathered he and summoned

23 Fahashara fanada

23 And he gathered [his people] and called out

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

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

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 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

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 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

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 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

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

28 He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

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

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

30 And after that He spread the earth,

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

30 And after that He spread the earth.

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

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

32 And He made fast the hills,

32 Waaljibala arsaha

32 And the mountains He set firmly

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

34 But when the great disaster cometh,

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

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

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

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

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

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

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

37 Then, as for him who rebelled

37 Faamma man tagha

37 So as for he who transgressed

38 And chose the life of the world,

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

38 And preferred the life of the world,

39 Lo! hell will be his home.

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

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 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

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 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

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

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

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

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

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

43 Feema anta min thikraha

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

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

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

44 To your Lord is its finality.

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

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

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 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha

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.
