23 Faqadarna faniAAma alqadiroona

24 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!

25 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.

25 Alam najAAali alarda kifatan

26 The living and the dead,

26 Ahyaan waamwatan

28 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

28 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

29 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!

29 Intaliqoo ila ma kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

30 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,

30 Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin

31 "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.

31 La thaleelin wala yughnee mina allahabi

32 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,

32 Innaha tarmee bishararin kaalqasri

34 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

34 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

35 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.

37 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

37 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

38 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!

38 Hatha yawmu alfasli jamaAAnakum waalawwaleena

39 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!

39 Fain kana lakum kaydun fakeedooni

40 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

40 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

41 As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).

41 Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin

42 And (they shall have) fruits, - all they desire.

42 Wafawakiha mimma yashtahoona

45 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

45 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

46 (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.

46 Kuloo watamattaAAoo qaleelan innakum mujrimoona

47 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

47 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

48 And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.

48 Waitha qeela lahumu irkaAAoo la yarkaAAoona

49 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

49 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

50 Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
