আন্ নাজআ’ত (মুক্তি)

1 By those [angels] who extract with violence

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

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

2 And [by] those who remove with ease

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

2 By the meteors rushing,

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

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

3 By the lone stars floating,

4 And those who race each other in a race

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

4 By the angels hastening,

5 And those who arrange [each] matter,

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

5 And those who govern the event,

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

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

6 On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

7 There will follow it the subsequent [one].

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

7 And the second followeth it,

8 Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

8 On that day hearts beat painfully

9 Their eyes humbled.

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

9 While eyes are downcast

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

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

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

11 Even if we should be decayed bones?

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

11 Even after we are crumbled bones ?

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

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

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

13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

13 Surely it will need but one shout,

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

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

14 And lo! they will be awakened.

15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

15 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

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

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

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

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

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

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

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

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

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

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

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

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

20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

20 And he showed him the tremendous token.

21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

21 But he denied and disobeyed,

22 Then he turned his back, striving.

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

22 Then turned he away in haste,

23 And he gathered [his people] and called out

23 Fahashara fanada

23 Then gathered he and summoned

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

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

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

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

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

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

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

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

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

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

28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

28 He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

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

30 And after that He spread the earth.

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

30 And after that He spread the earth,

31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

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

32 And the mountains He set firmly

32 Waaljibala arsaha

32 And He made fast the hills,

33 As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

34 But when the great disaster cometh,

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

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

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

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

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

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

37 So as for he who transgressed

37 Faamma man tagha

37 Then, as for him who rebelled

38 And preferred the life of the world,

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

38 And chose the life of the world,

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

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

39 Lo! hell will be his home.

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

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 Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

41 Lo! the Garden will be his home.

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

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

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

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

43 Feema anta min thikraha

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

44 To your Lord is its finality.

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

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

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

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

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

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.

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.
