بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ

The Hour has drawn nigh: the moon is split.

وَإِن یَرَوۡا۟ ءَایَةࣰ یُعۡرِضُوا۟ وَیَقُولُوا۟ سِحۡرࣱ مُّسۡتَمِرࣱّ

Yet if they see a sign they turn away, and they say 'A continuous sorcery!'

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوۤا۟ أَهۡوَاۤءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرࣲ مُّسۡتَقِرࣱّ

They have cried lies, and followed their caprices; but every matter is settled.

وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَاۤءِ مَا فِیهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ

And there have come to them such tidings as contain a deterrent --

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَـٰلِغَةࣱۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ

a Wisdom far-reaching; yet warnings do not avail.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ یَوۡمَ یَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَیۡءࣲ نُّكُرٍ

So turn thou away from them. Upon the day when the Caller shall call unto a horrible thing,

خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ یَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادࣱ مُّنتَشِرࣱ

abasing their eyes, they shall come forth from the tombs as if they were scattered grasshoppers,

مُّهۡطِعِینَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ یَقُولُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا یَوۡمٌ عَسِرࣱ

running with outstretched necks to the Caller. The unbelievers shall say, 'This is a hard day!'

۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحࣲ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجۡنُونࣱ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ

The people of Noah cried lies before them; they cried lies to Our servant, and said, 'A man possessed!' And he was rejected.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنِّی مَغۡلُوبࣱ فَٱنتَصِرۡ

And so he called unto his Lord, saying, 'I am vanquished; do Thou succour me!'

فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ أَبۡوَ ٰ⁠بَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ بِمَاۤءࣲ مُّنۡهَمِرࣲ

Then We opened the gates of heaven unto water torrential,

وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُیُونࣰا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَاۤءُ عَلَىٰۤ أَمۡرࣲ قَدۡ قُدِرَ

and made the earth to gush with fountains, and the waters met for a matter decreed.

وَحَمَلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَ ٰ⁠حࣲ وَدُسُرࣲ

And We bore him upon a well-planked vessel well-caulked

تَجۡرِی بِأَعۡیُنِنَا جَزَاۤءࣰ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ

running before Our eyes-a recompense for him denied.

وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَـٰهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

And We left it for a sign. Is there any that will remember?

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

How then were My chastisement and My warnings?

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember?

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادࣱ فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

Ad cried lies. How then were My chastisement and My warnings?

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ رِیحࣰا صَرۡصَرࣰا فِی یَوۡمِ نَحۡسࣲ مُّسۡتَمِرࣲّ

We loosed against them a wind clamorous in a day of ill fortune continuous,

تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلࣲ مُّنقَعِرࣲ

plucking up men as if they were stumps of uprooted palm-trees.

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

How then were My chastisement and My warnings?

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember?

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ

Thamood cried lies to the warnings

فَقَالُوۤا۟ أَبَشَرࣰا مِّنَّا وَ ٰ⁠حِدࣰا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥۤ إِنَّاۤ إِذࣰا لَّفِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ وَسُعُرٍ

and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity!

أَءُلۡقِیَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۢ بَیۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرࣱ

Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.'

سَیَعۡلَمُونَ غَدࣰا مَّنِ ٱلۡكَذَّابُ ٱلۡأَشِرُ

'They shall surely know tomorrow who is the impudent liar.

إِنَّا مُرۡسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةࣰ لَّهُمۡ فَٱرۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ

They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience.

وَنَبِّئۡهُمۡ أَنَّ ٱلۡمَاۤءَ قِسۡمَةُۢ بَیۡنَهُمۡۖ كُلُّ شِرۡبࣲ مُّحۡتَضَرࣱ

And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each in turn.

فَنَادَوۡا۟ صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ

Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her.

فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

How then were My chastisement and My warnings?

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ صَیۡحَةࣰ وَ ٰ⁠حِدَةࣰ فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِیمِ ٱلۡمُحۡتَظِرِ

We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder.

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember?

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ لُوطِۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ

The people of Lot cried lies to the warnings.

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَیۡهِمۡ حَاصِبًا إِلَّاۤ ءَالَ لُوطࣲۖ نَّجَّیۡنَـٰهُم بِسَحَرࣲ

We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn --

نِّعۡمَةࣰ مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۚ كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ نَجۡزِی مَن شَكَرَ

a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful.

وَلَقَدۡ أَنذَرَهُم بَطۡشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوۡا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ

He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warnings.

وَلَقَدۡ رَ ٰ⁠وَدُوهُ عَن ضَیۡفِهِۦ فَطَمَسۡنَاۤ أَعۡیُنَهُمۡ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!'

وَلَقَدۡ صَبَّحَهُم بُكۡرَةً عَذَابࣱ مُّسۡتَقِرࣱّ

In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement:

فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ

'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!'

وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember?

وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ

The warnings came also to Pharaoh's folk.

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔایَـٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُمۡ أَخۡذَ عَزِیزࣲ مُّقۡتَدِرٍ

They cried lies to Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with the seizing of One mighty, omnipotent.

أَكُفَّارُكُمۡ خَیۡرࣱ مِّنۡ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكُمۡ أَمۡ لَكُم بَرَاۤءَةࣱ فِی ٱلزُّبُرِ

What, are your unbelievers better than those? Or have you an immunity in the Scrolls?

أَمۡ یَقُولُونَ نَحۡنُ جَمِیعࣱ مُّنتَصِرࣱ

Or do they say, 'We are a congregation that shall be succoured?'

سَیُهۡزَمُ ٱلۡجَمۡعُ وَیُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ

Certainly the host shall be routed, and turn their backs.

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ

Nay, but the Hour is their tryst, and the Hour is very calamitous and bitter.

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ فِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ وَسُعُرࣲ

Surely the sinners are in error and insanity!

یَوۡمَ یُسۡحَبُونَ فِی ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ

The day when they are dragged on their faces into the Fire: 'Taste now the touch of Sakar!'

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَـٰهُ بِقَدَرࣲ

Surely We have created everything in measure.

وَمَاۤ أَمۡرُنَاۤ إِلَّا وَ ٰ⁠حِدَةࣱ كَلَمۡحِۭ بِٱلۡبَصَرِ

Our commandment is but one word, as the twinkling of an eye.

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَاۤ أَشۡیَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ

We have destroyed the likes of you; is there any that will remember?

وَكُلُّ شَیۡءࣲ فَعَلُوهُ فِی ٱلزُّبُرِ

Every thing that they have done is in the Scrolls,

وَكُلُّ صَغِیرࣲ وَكَبِیرࣲ مُّسۡتَطَرٌ

and everything, great and small, is inscribed.

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَنَهَرࣲ

Surely the godfearing shall dwell amid gardens and a river

فِی مَقۡعَدِ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ مَلِیكࣲ مُّقۡتَدِرِۭ

in a sure abode, in the presence of a King Omnipotent.
