٢(It is) of the awful tidings,

'Anin-nabaa-il 'azeem

٣Concerning which they are in disagreement.

Allazi hum feehi mukh talifoon

٤Nay, but they will come to know!

Kallaa sa y'alamoon

٥Nay, again, but they will come to know!

Thumma kallaa sa y'alamoon

٦Have We not made the earth an expanse,

Alam naj'alil arda mihaa da

٧And the high hills bulwarks?

Wal jibaala au taada

٨And We have created you in pairs,

Wa khalaq naakum azwaaja

٩And have appointed your sleep for repose,

Waja'alnan naumakum subata

١٠And have appointed the night as a cloak,

Waja'alnal laila libasa

١١And have appointed the day for livelihood.

Waja'alnan nahara ma 'aasha

١٢And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),

Wa banaina fauqakum sab 'an shi daada

١٣And have appointed a dazzling lamp,

Waja'alna siraajaw wah haaja

١٤And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,

Wa anzalna minal m'usiraati maa-an saj-jaaja

١٥Thereby to produce grain and plant,

Linukh rija bihee habbaw wana baata

١٦And gardens of thick foliage.

Wa jan naatin alfafa

١٧Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

Inna yaumal-fasli kana miqaata

١٨A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,

Yauma yun fakhu fis-soori fataa toona afwaaja

١٩And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,

Wa futiha tis samaa-u fakaanat abwaaba

٢٠And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.

Wa suyyi raatil jibaalu fa kaanat saraaba

٢١Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,

Inna jahan nama kaanat mirsaada

٢٢A home for the rebellious.

Lit taa gheena ma aaba

٢٣They will abide therein for ages.

Laa bitheena feehaa ahqaaba

٢٤Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink

Laa ya zooqoona feeha bar daw walaa sharaaba

٢٥Save boiling water and a paralysing cold:

Illa hamee maw-wa ghas saaqa

٢٦Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds).

Jazaa-aw wi faaqa

٢٧For lo! they looked not for a reckoning;

Innahum kaanu laa yarjoona hisaaba

٢٨They called Our revelations false with strong denial.

Wa kazzabu bi aayaa tina kizzaba

٢٩Everything have We recorded in a Book.

Wa kulla shai-in ahsai naahu kitaa ba

٣٠So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.

Fa zooqoo falan-nazee dakum ill-laa azaaba

٣١Lo! for the duteous is achievement -

Inna lil mutta qeena mafaaza

٣٢Gardens enclosed and vineyards,

Hadaa-iqa wa a'anaa ba

٣٣And voluptuous women of equal age;

Wa kaawa 'iba at raaba

٣٤And a full cup.

Wa ka'san di haaqa

٣٥There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -

Laa yasma'oona fiha lagh waw walaa kizzaba

٣٦Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -

Jazaa-am mir-rabbika ataa-an hisaaba

٣٧Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.

Rabbis samaa waati wal ardi wa maa baina humar rahmaani laa yam likoona minhu khi taaba

٣٨On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.

Yauma yaqoo mur roohu wal malaa-ikatu saf-fal laa yata kalla moona illa man azina lahur rahmaanu wa qaala sawaaba

٣٩That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.

Zaalikal yaumul haqqu faman shaa-at ta khaaza ill-laa rabbihi ma-aaba

٤٠Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!"

In naa anzar naakum azaaban qareebaiy-yauma yan zurul marr-u maa qaddamat yadaahu wa ya qoolul-kaafiru yaa lai tanee kuntu turaaba
