Transliteration

Wan naazi 'aati gharqa

By those ˹angels˺ stripping out ˹evil souls˺ harshly,

Transliteration

Wan naa shi taati nashta

Translation

and those pulling out ˹good souls˺ gently,

Transliteration

Wass saabi-haati sabha

Translation

and those gliding ˹through heavens˺ swiftly,

Transliteration

Fass saabi qaati sabqa

Translation

and those taking the lead vigorously,

Transliteration

Fal mu dab-bi raati amra

Translation

and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺!

Transliteration

Yawma tarjufur raajifa

Translation

˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the quaking Blast will come to pass,

Transliteration

Tatba'u har raadifa

Translation

followed by a second Blast.

Transliteration

Quloobuny-yau maaiziw-waaji-fa

Translation

˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺,

Transliteration

Absaa ruhaa khashi'ah

Translation

with their eyes downcast.

Transliteration

Ya qoo loona a-inna lamar doo doona fil haafirah

Translation

˹But now˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “Will we really be restored to our former state,

Transliteration

Aizaa kunna 'izaa man-nakhirah

Translation

even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”

Transliteration

Qaalu tilka izan karratun khaasirah.

Translation

Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”

Transliteration

Fa inna ma hiya zajratuw-waahida

Translation

But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast,

Transliteration

Faizaa hum biss saahirah

Translation

and at once they will be above ground.

Transliteration

Hal ataaka hadeethu Musaa

Translation

Has the story of Moses reached you ˹O Prophet˺?

Transliteration

Iz nadaahu rabbuhu bil waadil-muqad dasi tuwa

Translation

His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa,

Transliteration

Izhab ilaa fir'auna innahu taghaa.

Translation

˹commanding,˺ “Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.

Transliteration

Faqul hal laka ilaa-an tazakka.

Translation

And say, ‘Would you ˹be willing to˺ purify yourself,

Transliteration

Wa ahdi yaka ila rabbika fatakh sha

Translation

and let me guide you to your Lord so that you will be in awe ˹of Him˺?’”

Transliteration

Fa araahul-aayatal kubra.

Translation

Then Moses showed him the great sign,

Transliteration

Fa kazzaba wa asaa.

Translation

but he denied and disobeyed ˹Allah˺,

Transliteration

Thumma adbara yas'aa.

Translation

then turned his back, striving ˹against the truth˺.

Transliteration

Fa hashara fanada.

Translation

Then he summoned ˹his people˺ and called out,

Transliteration

Faqala ana rabbu kumul-a'laa.

Translation

saying, “I am your lord, the most high!”

Transliteration

Fa-akha zahul laahu nakalal aakhirati wal-oola.

Translation

So Allah overtook him, making him an example in this life and the next.

Transliteration

Inna fee zaalika la'ibratal limaiy-yaksha

Translation

Surely in this is a lesson for whoever stands in awe of ˹Allah˺.

Transliteration

A-antum a shaddu khalqan amis samaa-u banaaha.

Translation

Which is harder to create: you or the sky? He built it,

Transliteration

Raf'a sam kaha fasaw waaha

Translation

raising it high and forming it flawlessly.

Transliteration

Wa aghtasha lailaha wa akhraja duhaaha.

Translation

He dimmed its night, and brought forth its daylight.

Transliteration

Wal arda b'ada zaalika dahaaha.

Translation

As for the earth, He spread it out as well,

Transliteration

Akhraja minha maa-aha wa mar 'aaha.

Translation

bringing forth its water and pastures

Transliteration

Wal jibala arsaaha.

Translation

and setting the mountains firmly ˹upon it˺—

Transliteration

Mataa'al lakum wali an 'aamikum.

Translation

all as ˹a means of˺ sustenance for you and your animals.

Transliteration

Fa-izaa jaaa'atit taaam matul kubraa.

Translation

But, when the Supreme Disaster comes to pass—

Transliteration

Yauma Yata zakkarul insaanu ma sa'aa.

Translation

the Day every person will remember all ˹their˺ striving,

Transliteration

Wa burrizatil-jaheemu limany-yaraa.

Translation

and the Hellfire will be displayed for all to see—

Transliteration

Fa ammaa man taghaa.

Translation

then as for those who transgressed

Transliteration

Wa aasaral hayaatad dunyaa

Translation

and preferred the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world,

Transliteration

Fa innal jaheema hiyal maawaa.

Translation

the Hellfire will certainly be ˹their˺ home.

Transliteration

Wa ammaa man khaafa maqaama Rabbihee wa nahan nafsa 'anil hawaa

Translation

And as for those who were in awe of standing before their Lord and restrained themselves from ˹evil˺ desires,

Transliteration

Fa innal jannata hiyal ma'waa

Translation

Paradise will certainly be ˹their˺ home.

Transliteration

Yas'aloonaka 'anis saa'ati ayyaana mursaahaa

Translation

They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding the Hour, “When will it be?”

Transliteration

Feema anta min zikraahaa

Translation

But it is not for you to tell its time.

Transliteration

Ilaa Rabbika muntahaa haa

Translation

That knowledge rests with your Lord ˹alone˺.

Transliteration

Innamaaa anta munziru maiy yakhshaahaa

Translation

Your duty is only to warn whoever is in awe of it.

Transliteration

Ka annahum Yawma yarawnahaa lam yalbasooo illaa 'ashiyyatan aw duhaahaa

Translation

On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had stayed ˹in the world˺ no more than one evening or its morning.
