1. | I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), |
2. | By the raging hurricanes, |
3. | Which scatter clouds to their destined places, |
4. | Then separate them one from another, |
S. | Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, |
6. | To clear or to warn |
7. | Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. |
8. | So when the stars are made to lose their light, |
9. | And when the heaven is rent asunder, |
10. | And when the mountains are carried away as dust, |
11. | And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time |
li. | To what day is the doom fixed? |
13. | To the day of decision |
14. | And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? |
15. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
16. | Did We not destroy the former generations? |
17. | Then |
18. | Even |
19. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
20. | Did We not create you from contemptible water? |
21. | Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, |
22. | Till an appointed term, |
23. | So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). |
24. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
25. | Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, |
26. | The living and the dead, |
27. | And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? |
28. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
29. | Walk on to that which you called a lie |
30. | Walk on to the covering having three branches, |
31. | Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. |
32. | Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, |
33. | As if they were tawny camels |
34. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
35. | This is the day on which they shall not speak, |
36. | And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. |
37. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
38. | This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. |
39. | So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now) |
40. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
41. | Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains, |
42. | And fruits such as they desire |
43. | Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did |
44. | Surely thus do We reward the doers of good |
45. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
46. | Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty. |
47. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
48. | And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down. |
49. | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
50. | In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe? |
