ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ
Iqtarabatis Saa'atu wsan shaqqal qamar
The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split
وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ
Wa iny yaraw aayatany yu'ridoo wa yaqooloo sihrum mustamirr
Yet whenever they see a miracle, they turn away, and say, “Continuous magic.”
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ
Wa kazzaboo wattaba'ooo ahwaaa'ahum; wa kullu amrim mustaqirr
They lied, and followed their opinions, but everything has its time
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ
Wa laqad jaaa'ahum minal ambaaa'i maa feehi muzdajar
And there came to them news containing a deterrent
حِكْمَةٌۢ بَـٰلِغَةٌ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
Hikmatum baalighatun famaa tughnin nuzur
Profound wisdom—but warnings are of no avail
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ
Fatawalla 'anhum; yawma yad'ud daa'i ilaa shai 'in nukur
So turn away from them. On the Day when the Caller calls to something terrible
خُشَّعًا أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ
Khushsha'an absaaruhum yakrujoona minal ajdaasi ka annahum jaraadum muntashir
Their eyes humiliated, they will emerge from the graves, as if they were swarming locusts
مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ
Muhti'eena ilad daa'i yaqoolul kafiroona haazaa yawmun 'asir
Scrambling towards the Caller, the disbelievers will say, “This is a difficult Day.”
۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ
Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohin fakazzaboo 'abdanaa wa qaaloo majnoo nunw wazdujir
Before them the people of Noah disbelieved. They rejected Our servant, and said, “Crazy,” and he was rebuked
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَٱنتَصِرْ
Fada'aa Rabbahooo annee maghloobun fantasir
So he appealed to his Lord, “I am overwhelmed, so help me.”
فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ
Fafatahnaaa abwaabas sa maaa'i bimaa'im munhamir
So We opened the floodgates of heaven with water pouring down
وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ
Wa fajjamal arda 'uyoonan faltaqal maaa'u 'alaaa amrin qad qudir
And We made the earth burst with springs, and the waters met for a purpose already destined
وَحَمَلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
Wa hamalnaahu 'alaa zaati alwaahinw wa dusur
And We carried him on a craft of planks and nails
تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
Tajree bi a'yuninaa jazaaa 'al liman kaana kufir
Sailing before Our eyes; a reward for him who was rejected
وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَـٰهَآ ءَايَةً فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
Wa laqat taraknaahaad aayatan fahal mim muddakir
And We left it as a sign. Is there anyone who would take heed
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur
So how were My punishment and My warnings

Aad denied the truth. So how were My punishment and My warnings

Innaa arsalnaa 'alaihim reehan sarsaran fee Yawmi nahsim mustamirr
We unleashed upon them a screaming wind, on a day of unrelenting misery
تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ
Tanzi;un naasa ka anna huma'jaazu nakhlim munqa'ir
Plucking the people away, as though they were trunks of uprooted palm-trees
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
'Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur
So how were My punishment and My warnings

Faqaalooo a-basharam minnaa waahidan nattabi'uhooo innaa izal lafee dalaalinw wa su'ur
They said, “Are we to follow one of us, a human being? We would then go astray, and end up in Hell
أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ
'A-ulqiyaz zikru 'alaihi mim baininaa bal huwa kazzaabun ashir
Was the message given to him, out of all of us? In fact, he is a wicked liar.”
سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ
Sa-ya'lamoona ghadam manil kazzaabul ashir
They will know tomorrow who the wicked liar is
إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ
Innaa mursilun naaqati fitnatal lahum fartaqibhum wastabir
We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and be patient
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ
Wa nabbi'hum annal maaa'a qismatum bainahum kullu shirbim muhtadar

Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur
So how were My punishment and My warnings

Innaaa arsalnaa 'alaihim saihatanw waahidatan fakaano kahasheemil muhtazir
We sent against them a single Scream, and they became like crushed hay

Ni'matam min 'indinaa; kazaalika najzee man shakar
A blessing from Us. Thus We reward the thankful
وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
Wa laqad anzarahum batshatanaa fatamaaraw binnuzur
He had warned them of Our onslaught, but they dismissed the warnings
وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِۦ فَطَمَسْنَآ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ
Wa laqad raawadoohu 'andaifee fatamasnaaa a'yunahum fazooqoo 'azaabee wa nuzur

Am yaqooloona nahnu jamee'um muntasir
Or do they say, “We are united, and we will be victorious”
