| 1. * | By the loosed ones successively |
| 2. * | storming tempestuously |
| 3. * | by the scatterers scattering |
| 4. * | and the severally severing |
| 5. * | and those hurling a reminder |
| 6. * | excusing or warning, |
| 7. * | surely that which you are promised is about to fall! |
| 8. * | When the stars shall be extinguished, |
| 9. * | when heaven shall be split |
| 10. * | when the mountains shall be scattered |
| 11. * | and when the Messengers' time is set, |
| 12. * | to what day shall they be delayed? |
| 13. * | To the Day of Decision. |
| 14. * | And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? |
| 15. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 16. * | Did We not destroy the ancients, |
| 17. * | and then follow them with the later folk? |
| 18. * | So We serve the sinners. |
| 19. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 20. * | Did We not create you of a mean water, |
| 21. * | that We laid within a sure lodging |
| 22. * | till a known term decreed? |
| 23. * | We determined; excellent determiners are We. |
| 24. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 25. * | Made We not the earth to be a housing |
| 26. * | for the living and for the dead? |
| 27. * | Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water? |
| 28. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 29. * | Depart to that you cried was lies! |
| 30. * | Depart to a triple-massing shadow |
| 31. * | unshading against the blazing flame |
| 32. * | that shoots sparks like dry faggots, |
| 33. * | sparks like to golden herds. |
| 34. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 35. * | This is the day they shall not speak |
| 36. * | neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. |
| 37. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 38. * | 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; |
| 39. * | if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!' |
| 40. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 41. * | Truly the godfearing shall dwell amid shades and fountains, |
| 42. * | and such fruits as their hearts desire: |
| 43. * | 'Eat and drink, with wholesome appetite, for that you were working.' |
| 44. * | Even so do We recompense the good-doers. |
| 45. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 46. * | 'Eat and take your joy a little; you are sinners!' |
| 47. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 48. * | When it is said to them, 'Prostrate yourselves!' they prostrate not. |
| 49. * | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 50. * | In what discourse after this will they believe? |
