فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ
For when the trumpet shall sound,
Fa-itha nuqira fee annaqoor
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ
Surely that day will be a day of anguish,
Fathalika yawma-ithin yawmunAAaseer
عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ
Not of ease, for disbelievers.
AAala alkafireena ghayruyaseer
ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا
Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,
Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheeda
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا
And then bestowed upon him ample means,
WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdooda
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا
And sons abiding in his presence
Wabaneena shuhooda
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًا
And made (life) smooth for him.
Wamahhadtu lahu tamheeda
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ
Yet he desireth that I should give more.
Thumma yatmaAAu an azeed
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا عَنِيدًا
Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.
Kalla innahu kana li-ayatinaAAaneeda
سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا
On him I shall impose a fearful doom.
Saorhiquhu saAAooda
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
For lo! he did consider; then he planned -
Innahu fakkara waqaddar
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
(Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned!
Faqutila kayfa qaddar
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
Again (self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! -
Thumma qutila kayfa qaddar
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ
Then looked he,
Thumma nathar
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
Then frowned he and showed displeasure.
Thumma AAabasa wabasar

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ
And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;
Faqala in hatha illa sihrunyu/thar
إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ
This is naught else than speech of mortal man.
In hatha illa qawlu albashar
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ
Him shall I fling unto the burning.
Saosleehi saqar
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ
- Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -
Wama adraka ma saqar
لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ
It leaveth naught; it spareth naught
La tubqee wala tathar
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ
It shrivelleth the man.
Lawwahatun lilbashar
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
Above it are nineteen.
AAalayha tisAAata AAashar
وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

And the dawn when it shineth forth,
Wassubhi ithaasfar
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ
Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)
Innaha la-ihda alkubar
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ
As a warning unto men,
Natheeran lilbashar
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.
Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama awyataakhkhar
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;
Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheena
إِلَّآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Save those who will stand on the right hand.
Illa as-haba alyameen
فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
In gardens they will ask one another
Fee jannatin yatasaaloon
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Concerning the guilty:
AAani almujrimeen
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ
What hath brought you to this burning?
Ma salakakum fee saqar
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
They will answer: We were not of those who prayed
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleen
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ
Nor did we feed the wretched.
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeen
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkha-ideen
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi addeen
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ
Till the Inevitable came unto us.
Hatta atanaalyaqeen
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَـٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ
The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu ashshafiAAeen
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
Fama lahum AAani attathkiratimuAArideen
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ
As they were frightened asses
Kaannahum humurun mustanfira
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ
Fleeing from a lion?
Farrat min qaswara
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).
Bal yureedu kullu imri-in minhum an yu/tasuhufan munashshara
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ
Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.
Kalla bal la yakhafoonaal-akhira
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ
Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.
Kalla innahu tathkira
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
So whosoever will may heed.
Faman shaa thakarah
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
