Wan naazi 'aati gharqa
By those who snatch violently
وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا
Wan naa shi taati nashta
And those who remove gently
وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا
Wass saabi-haati sabha
And those who glide smoothly
فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا
Fass saabi qaati sabqa
And those who race swiftly
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
Fal mu dab-bi raati amra
And those who regulate events
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
Yawma tarjufur raajifa
On the Day when the Quake quakes
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
Tatba'u har raadifa
And is followed by the Successor
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
Quloobuny-yau maaiziw-waaji-fa
Hearts on that Day will be pounding
أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ
Absaa ruhaa khashi'ah
Their sights downcast
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
Ya qoo loona a-inna lamar doo doona fil haafirah
They say, “Are we to be restored to the original condition
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
Aizaa kunna 'izaa man-nakhirah
When we have become hollow bones?”
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Qaalu tilka izan karratun khaasirah.
They say, “This is a losing proposition.”
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
Fa inna ma hiya zajratuw-waahida
But it will be only a single nudge
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
Faizaa hum biss saahirah
And they will be awake
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Hal ataaka hadeethu Musaa
Has the story of Moses reached you
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
Iz nadaahu rabbuhu bil waadil-muqad dasi tuwa
When His Lord called out to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
Izhab ilaa fir'auna innahu taghaa.
“Go to Pharaoh—he has transgressed.”
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Faqul hal laka ilaa-an tazakka.
And say, “Do you care to be cleansed
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
Wa ahdi yaka ila rabbika fatakh sha
And I will guide you to your Lord, and you will turn reverent.”
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Fa araahul-aayatal kubra.
He showed him the Greatest Miracle
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
Fa kazzaba wa asaa.
But he denied and defied
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Thumma adbara yas'aa.
Then turned his back, and tried
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Fa hashara fanada.
And gathered and proclaimed
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Faqala ana rabbu kumul-a'laa.
He said, “I am your Lord, the most high.”
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
Fa-akha zahul laahu nakalal aakhirati wal-oola.
So God seized him with an exemplary punishment, in the last and in the first
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Inna fee zaalika la'ibratal limaiy-yaksha
In this is a lesson for whoever fears
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا
A-antum a shaddu khalqan amis samaa-u banaaha.
Are you more difficult to create, or the heaven? He constructed it
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
Raf'a sam kaha fasaw waaha
He raised its masses, and proportioned it
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
Wa aghtasha lailaha wa akhraja duhaaha.
And He dimmed its night, and brought out its daylight
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
Wal arda b'ada zaalika dahaaha.
And the earth after that He spread
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
Akhraja minha maa-aha wa mar 'aaha.
And from it, He produced its water and its pasture
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
Wal jibala arsaaha.
And the mountains, He anchored
مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ
Mataa'al lakum wali an 'aamikum.
A source of enjoyment for you and for your animals
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Fa-izaa jaaa'atit taaam matul kubraa.
But when the Great Cataclysm arrives
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
Yauma Yata zakkarul insaanu ma sa'aa.
A Day when man will remember what he has endeavored
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
Wa burrizatil-jaheemu limany-yaraa.
And Hell will be displayed to whoever sees
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
Fa ammaa man taghaa.
As for him who was defiant
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Wa aasaral hayaatad dunyaa
And preferred the life of this world
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Fa innal jaheema hiyal maawaa.
Then Hell is the shelter
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
Wa ammaa man khaafa maqaama Rabbihee wa nahan nafsa 'anil hawaa
But as for him who feared the Standing of his Lord, and restrained the self from desires
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Fa innal jannata hiyal maawaa
Then Paradise is the shelter
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
Yas'aloonaka 'anis saa'ati ayyaana mursaahaa
They ask you about the Hour, “When will it take place?”
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
Feema anta min zikraahaa
You have no knowledge of it
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
Ilaa Rabbika muntahaa haa
To your Lord is its finality
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
Innamaaa anta munziru maiy yakshaahaa
You are just a warner for whoever dreads it
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
Ka annahum Yawma yarawnahaa lam yalbasooo illaa 'ashiyyatan aw duhaahaa
On the Day when they witness it—as though they only stayed an evening, or its morning
