بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرۡقࣰا

By those that pluck out vehemently

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشۡطࣰا

and those that draw out violently,

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبۡحࣰا

by those that swim serenely

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبۡقࣰا

and those that outstrip suddenly

فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَ ٰ⁠تِ أَمۡرࣰا

by those that direct an affair!

یَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ

Upon the day when the first blast shivers

تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ

and the second blast follows it,

قُلُوبࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ وَاجِفَةٌ

hearts upon that day shall be athrob

أَبۡصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةࣱ

and their eyes shall be humbled.

یَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِی ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ

They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمࣰا نَّخِرَةࣰ

What, when we are bones old and wasted?'

قَالُوا۟ تِلۡكَ إِذࣰا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةࣱ

They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!'

فَإِنَّمَا هِیَ زَجۡرَةࣱ وَ ٰ⁠حِدَةࣱ

But it shall be only a single scare,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

and behold, they are awakened.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِیثُ مُوسَىٰۤ

Hast thou received the story of Moses?

إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

When his Lord called to him in the holy valley, Towa:

ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

'Go to Pharaoh; he has waxed insolent.

فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰۤ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

And say, "Hast thou the will to purify thyself;

وَأَهۡدِیَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ

and that I should guide thee to thy Lord, then thou shalt fear?"'

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلۡـَٔایَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

So he showed him the great sign,

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

but he cried lies, and rebelled,

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ یَسۡعَىٰ

then he turned away hastily,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

then he mustered

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

and proclaimed, and he said, 'I am your Lord, the Most High!'

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰۤ

So God seized him with the chastisement of the Last World and the First.

إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ لَعِبۡرَةࣰ لِّمَن یَخۡشَىٰۤ

Surely in that is a lesson for him who fears!

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا

What, are you stronger in constitution or the heaven He built?

رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

He lifted up its vault, and levelled it,

وَأَغۡطَشَ لَیۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

and darkened its night, and brought forth its forenoon;

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ دَحَىٰهَاۤ

and the earth-after that He spread it out,

أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَاۤءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا

therefrom brought forth its waters and its pastures,

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا

and the mountains He set firm,

مَتَـٰعࣰا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَـٰمِكُمۡ

an enjoyment for you and your flocks.

فَإِذَا جَاۤءَتِ ٱلطَّاۤمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

Then, when the Great Catastrophe comes

یَوۡمَ یَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

upon the day when man shall remember what he has striven,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِیمُ لِمَن یَرَىٰ

and Hell is advanced for whoever sees,

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

then as for him who was insolent

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡیَا

and preferred the present life,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِیمَ هِیَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

surely Hell shall be the refuge.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ

But as for him who feared the Station of his Lord and forbade the soul its caprice,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِیَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

surely Paradise shall be the refuge.

یَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَیَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا

They will question thee concerning the Hour, when it shall berth.

فِیمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَاۤ

What art thou about, to mention it?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَاۤ

Unto thy Lord is the final end of it.

إِنَّمَاۤ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن یَخۡشَىٰهَا

Thou art only the warner of him who fears it.

كَأَنَّهُمۡ یَوۡمَ یَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ یَلۡبَثُوۤا۟ إِلَّا عَشِیَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا

It shall be as if; on the day they see it, they have but tarried for an evening, or its forenoon.
