| 1. * | The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent asunder. |
| 2. * | And if they see a sign, they turn away and say: Strong enchantment! |
| 3. * | And they deny and follow their low desires; and every affair is settled. |
| 4. * | And certainly narratives have come to them, which should deter -- |
| 5. * | Consummate wisdom -- but warnings avail not; |
| 6. * | So turn away from them. On the day when the Inviter invites them to a hard task -- |
| 7. * | Their eyes cast down, they will go forth from their graves as if they were scattered locusts, |
| 8. * | Hastening to the Inviter. The disbelievers will say: This is a hard day! |
| 9. * | Before them the people of Noah rejected -- they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away. |
| 10. * | So he called upon his Lord: I am overcome, so do Thou help. |
| 11. * | Then We opened the gates of heaven with water pouring down. |
| 12. * | And made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together according to a measure already ordained. |
| 13. * | And We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails, |
| 14. * | Floating on, before Our eyes -- a reward for him who was denied. |
| 15. * | And certainly We left it as a sign, but is there any that will mind? |
| 16. * | How terrible was then My chastisement and My warning! |
| 17. * | And certainly We have made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind? |
| 18. * | ‘Ad denied, so how terrible was My chastisement and My warning! |
| 19. * | Surely We sent on them a furious wind in a day of bitter ill-luck, |
| 20. * | Tearing men away as if they were the trunks of palm-trees torn up. |
| 21. * | How terrible was then My chastisement and My warning! |
| 22. * | And certainly We have made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind? |
| 23. * | Thamud rejected the warning. |
| 24. * | So they said: What! A single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? We shall then be in sure error and distress. |
| 25. * | Has the reminder been sent to him from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar! |
| 26. * | To-morrow they will know who is the liar, the insolent one. |
| 27. * | Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch them and have patience. |
| 28. * | And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be attended. |
| 29. * | But they called their companion, so he took (a sword) and hamstrung (her). |
| 30. * | How (terrible) was then My chastisement and My warning! |
| 31. * | Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees, which the maker of an enclosure collects. |
| 32. * | And certainly We have made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind? |
| 33. * | The people of Lot treated the warning as a lie. |
| 34. * | Surely We sent upon them a stone-storm, except Lot’s followers; We saved them a little before daybreak -- |
| 35. * | A favour from Us. Thus do We reward him who gives thanks. |
| 36. * | And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they disputed the warning. |
| 37. * | And certainly they endeavoured to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. |
| 38. * | And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning. |
| 39. * | So taste My chastisement and My warning. |
| 40. * | And certainly We have made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any one who will mind? |
| 41. * | And certainly the warning came to Pharaoh’s people. |
| 42. * | They rejected all Our signs, so We overtook them with the seizing of the Mighty, the Powerful. |
| 43. * | Are your disbelievers better than these, or have you an immunity in the scriptures? |
| 44. * | Or say they: We are a host allied together to help each other? |
| 45. * | And that He creates pairs, the male and the female: |
| 46. * | Nay, the Hour is their promised time, and the Hour is most grievous and bitter. |
| 47. * | Surely the guilty are in error and distress. |
| 48. * | On the day when they are dragged into the Fire upon their faces: Taste the touch of hell. |
| 49. * | Surely We have created everything according to a measure. |
| 50. * | And Our command is but once, as the twinkling of an eye. |
| 51. * | And certainly We destroyed your fellows, but is there any one who will mind? |
| 52. * | And everything they do is in the writings. |
| 53. * | And everything small and great is written down. |
| 54. * | Surely the dutiful will be among Gardens and rivers, |
| 55. * | In the seat of truth, with a most Powerful King. |
