আন্ নাজআ’ত (মুক্তি)

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

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

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

2 By the meteors rushing,

3 And by those who float in space,

3 By the lone stars floating,

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

4 By the angels hastening,

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

5 And those who govern the event,

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

6 On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

7 And the second followeth it,

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

8 On that day hearts beat painfully

9 Their eyes cast down.

9 While eyes are downcast

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

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

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

11 Even after we are crumbled bones ?

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

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

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

13 Surely it will need but one shout,

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

14 And lo! they will be awakened.

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

15 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

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

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

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

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

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

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

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

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

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

20 And he showed him the tremendous token.

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

21 But he denied and disobeyed,

22 Then he went back hastily.

22 Then turned he away in haste,

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

23 Then gathered he and summoned

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

28 He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

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

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

30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.

30 And after that He spread the earth,

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

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

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

32 And He made fast the hills,

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

34 But when the great disaster cometh,

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

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

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

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

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

37 Then, as for him who rebelled

38 And prefers the life of this world,

38 And chose the life of the world,

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

39 Lo! hell will be his home.

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

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

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

41 Lo! the Garden will be his home.

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

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

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

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

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

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

45 You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

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

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.

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