| 1. * | Of what do they ask one another? |
| 2. * | Of the tremendous announcement |
| 3. * | About which they differ. |
| 4. * | Nay, they will soon know; |
| 5. * | Nay, again, they will soon know. |
| 6. * | Have We not made the earth an expanse |
| 7. * | And the mountains as pegs? |
| 8. * | And we have created you in pairs, |
| 9. * | And made your sleep for rest, |
| 10. * | And made the night a covering, |
| 11. * | And made the day for seeking livelihood. |
| 12. * | And We have made above you seven strong (bodies), |
| 13. * | And made a shining lamp, |
| 14. * | And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth in abundance, |
| 15. * | That We may bring forth thereby grain and herbs, |
| 16. * | And luxuriant gardens. |
| 17. * | Surely the day of Decision is appointed -- |
| 18. * | The day when the trumpet is blown, so you come forth in hosts, |
| 19. * | And the heaven is opened so it becomes as doors, |
| 20. * | And the mountains are moved off, so they remain a semblance. |
| 21. * | Surely hell lies in wait, |
| 22. * | A resort for the inordinate, |
| 23. * | Living therein for long years. |
| 24. * | They taste not therein coolness nor drink, |
| 25. * | But boiling and intensely cold water, |
| 26. * | Requital corresponding. |
| 27. * | Surely they feared not the reckoning, |
| 28. * | And rejected Our messages, giving the lie (thereto). |
| 29. * | And We have recorded everything in a book, |
| 30. * | So taste, for We shall add to you naught but chastisement. |
| 31. * | Surely for those who keep their duty is achievement, |
| 32. * | Gardens and vineyards, |
| 33. * | And youthful (companions), equals in age, |
| 34. * | And a pure cup. |
| 35. * | They hear not therein vain words, nor lying -- |
| 36. * | A reward from thy Lord, a gift sufficient; |
| 37. * | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent, they are not able to address Him. |
| 38. * | The day when the spirit and the angels stand in ranks; none shall speak except he whom the Beneficent permits and he speaks aright. |
| 39. * | That is the True Day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord. |
| 40. * | Truly We warn you of a chastisement near at hand -- the day when man will see what his hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will say: O would that I were dust! |
