Chapter 77, 50 verses
By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والمرسلات عرفا
Waalmursalati AAurfan
Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
فالعاصفات عصفا
FaalAAasifati AAasfan
And scatter (things) far and wide;
والناشرات نشرا
Waalnnashirati nashran
Then separate them, one from another,
فالفارقات فرقا
Faalfariqati farqan
Then spread abroad a Message,
فالملقيات ذكرا
Faalmulqiyati thikran
Whether of Justification or of Warning; -
عذرا أو نذرا
AAuthran aw nuthran
Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
إنما توعدون لواقع
Innama tooAAadoona lawaqiAAun
Then when the stars become dim;
فإذا النجوم طمست
Faitha alnnujoomu tumisat
When the heaven is cleft asunder;
وإذا السماء فرجت
Waitha alssamao furijat
When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
وإذا الجبال نسفت
Waitha aljibalu nusifat
And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect); -
وإذا الرسل أقتت
Waitha alrrusulu oqqitat

لأي يوم أجلت
Liayyi yawmin ojjilat
For the Day of Sorting out.
ليوم الفصل
Liyawmi alfasli
And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?

Wama adraka ma yawmu alfasli
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
ألم نهلك الأولين
Alam nuhliki alawwaleena

For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?
إلى قدر معلوم

Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.
ألم نجعل الأرض كفاتا
Alam najAAali alarda kifatan
The living and the dead,
أحياء وأمواتا
Ahyaan waamwatan
And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
وجعلنا فيها رواسي شامخات وأسقيناكم ماء فراتا
WajaAAalna feeha rawasiya shamikhatin waasqaynakum maan furatan
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
انطلقوا إلى ما كنتم به تكذبون
Intaliqoo ila ma kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
"Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,
انطلقوا إلى ظل ذي ثلاث شعب
Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin
"(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
لا ظليل ولا يغني من اللهب
La thaleelin wala yughnee mina allahabi
"Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,
إنها ترمي بشرر كالقصر
Innaha tarmee bishararin kaalqasri
"As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
كأنه جمالت صفر
Kaannahu jimalatun sufrun

Hatha yawmu la yantiqoona
Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
ولا يؤذن لهم فيعتذرون
Wala yuthanu lahum fayaAAtathiroona
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!
فإن كان لكم كيد فكيدون
Fain kana lakum kaydun fakeedooni

ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
إن المتقين في ظلال وعيون
Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin
And (they shall have) fruits, - all they desire.
وفواكه مما يشتهون
Wafawakiha mimma yashtahoona

Waitha qeela lahumu irkaAAoo la yarkaAAoona
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
فبأي حديث بعده يؤمنون
Fabiayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yuminoona
