| 1 | By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another |
| 2 | By the raging hurricanes, |
| 3 | By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; |
| 4 | By those who winnow with a winnowing, |
| 5 | By those who bring down the Reminder, |
| 6 | To excuse or to warn, |
| 7 | Surely that which ye are promised will befall. |
| 8 | So when the stars are put out, |
| 9 | And when the sky is riven asunder, |
| 10 | And when the mountains are blown away, |
| 11 | And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - |
| 12 | For what day is the time appointed ? |
| 13 | For the Day of Decision. |
| 14 | And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - |
| 15 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 16 | Destroyed We not the former folk, |
| 17 | Then caused the latter folk to follow after ? |
| 18 | Thus deal We ever with the guilty. |
| 19 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 20 | Did We not create you from a base fluid |
| 21 | Which We laid up in a safe abode |
| 22 | For a known term ? |
| 23 | Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! |
| 24 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 25 | Have We not made the earth a receptacle |
| 26 | Both for the living and the dead, |
| 27 | And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ? |
| 28 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 29 | (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; |
| 30 | Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, |
| 31 | (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. |
| 32 | Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, |
| 33 | (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. |
| 34 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 35 | This is a day wherein they speak not, |
| 36 | Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. |
| 37 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 38 | This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. |
| 39 | If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. |
| 40 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 41 | Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains, |
| 42 | And fruits such as they desire. |
| 43 | (Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did. |
| 44 | Thus do We reward the good. |
| 45 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 46 | Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty. |
| 47 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 48 | When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down! |
| 49 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 50 | In what statement, after this, will they believe ? |
