Text
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
-
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
By those who drag forth to destruction,
-
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
By the meteors rushing,
-
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
By the lone stars floating,
-
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
By the angels hastening,
-
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
And those who govern the event,
-
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
-
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
And the second followeth it,
-
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
On that day hearts beat painfully
-
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ
While eyes are downcast
-
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
-
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
Even after we are crumbled bones?
-
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
-
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
Surely it will need but one shout,
-
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
And lo! they will be awakened.
-
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses?
-
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,
-
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -
-
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)?
-
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).
-
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
And he showed him the tremendous token.
-
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
But he denied and disobeyed,
-
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Then turned he away in haste,
-
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Then gathered he and summoned
-
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."
-
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.
-
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.
-
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built?
-
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
He raised the height thereof and ordered it;
-
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
-
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
And after that He spread the earth,
-
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,
-
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
And He made fast the hills,
-
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
A provision for you and for your cattle.
-
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
But when the great disaster cometh,
-
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,
-
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,
-
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
Then, as for him who rebelled
-
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
And chose the life of the world,
-
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Lo! hell will be his home.
-
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,
-
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Lo! the Garden will be his home.
-
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port?
-
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof?
-
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.
-
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.
-
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
