وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا١

By those who drag forth to destruction,

WannaziAAati gharqa

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا٢

By the meteors rushing,

Wannashitati nashta

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا٣

By the lone stars floating,

Wassabihati sabha

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا٤

By the angels hastening,

Fassabiqati sabqa

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا٥

And those who govern the event,

Falmudabbirati amra

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ٦

On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

Yawma tarjufu arrajifa

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ٧

And the second followeth it,

TatbaAAuha arradifa

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ٨

On that day hearts beat painfully

Quloobun yawma-ithin wajifa

أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ٩

While eyes are downcast

Absaruha khashiAAa

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ١٠

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

Yaqooloona a-inna lamardoodoona feealhafira

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً١١

Even after we are crumbled bones?

A-itha kunna AAithamannakhira

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ١٢

They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasira

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ١٣

Surely it will need but one shout,

Fa-innama hiya zajratun wahida

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ١٤

And lo! they will be awakened.

Fa-itha hum bissahira

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ١٥

Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses?

Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى١٦

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

Ith nadahu rabbuhu bilwadialmuqaddasi tuwa

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ١٧

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

Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ١٨

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

Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ١٩

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

Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ٢٠

And he showed him the tremendous token.

Faarahu al-ayata alkubra

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ٢١

But he denied and disobeyed,

Fakaththaba waAAasa

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ٢٢

Then turned he away in haste,

Thumma adbara yasAAa

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ٢٣

Then gathered he and summoned

Fahashara fanada

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٢٤

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

Faqala ana rabbukumu al-aAAla

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ٢٥

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

Faakhathahu Allahu nakalaal-akhirati wal-oola

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ٢٦

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

Inna fee thalika laAAibratan limanyakhsha

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا٢٧

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

Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami assamaobanaha

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا٢٨

He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا٢٩

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

Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ٣٠

And after that He spread the earth,

Wal-arda baAAda thalikadahaha

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا٣١

And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,

Akhraja minha maahawamarAAaha

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا٣٢

And He made fast the hills,

Waljibala arsaha

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ٣٣

A provision for you and for your cattle.

MataAAan lakum wali-anAAamikum

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ٣٤

But when the great disaster cometh,

Fa-itha jaati attammatualkubra

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ٣٥

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

Yawma yatathakkaru al-insanu masaAAa

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ٣٦

And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ٣٧

Then, as for him who rebelled

Faamma man tagha

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا٣٨

And chose the life of the world,

Waathara alhayata addunya

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ٣٩

Lo! hell will be his home.

Fa-inna aljaheema hiya alma/wa

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ٤٠

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

Waama man khafa maqamarabbihi wanaha annafsa AAani alhawa

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ٤١

Lo! the Garden will be his home.

Fa-inna aljannata hiya alma/wa

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا٤٢

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

Yas-aloonaka AAani assaAAatiayyana mursaha

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ٤٣

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

Feema anta min thikraha

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ٤٤

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

Ila rabbika muntahaha

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا٤٥

Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

Innama anta munthiru manyakhshaha

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا٤٦

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

Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lamyalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
