| 1. * | By those who drag forth to destruction, |
| 2. * | By the meteors rushing, |
| 3. * | By the lone stars floating, |
| 4. * | By the angels hastening, |
| 5. * | And those who govern the event, |
| 6. * | On the day when the first trump resoundeth. |
| 7. * | And the second followeth it, |
| 8. * | On that day hearts beat painfully |
| 9. * | While eyes are downcast |
| 10. * | (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state |
| 11. * | Even after we are crumbled bones? |
| 12. * | They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding. |
| 13. * | Surely it will need but one shout, |
| 14. * | And lo! they will be awakened. |
| 15. * | Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses? |
| 16. * | How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa, |
| 17. * | (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled - |
| 18. * | And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)? |
| 19. * | Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). |
| 20. * | And he showed him the tremendous token. |
| 21. * | But he denied and disobeyed, |
| 22. * | Then turned he away in haste, |
| 23. * | Then gathered he and summoned |
| 24. * | And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." |
| 25. * | So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former. |
| 26. * | Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. |
| 27. * | Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? |
| 28. * | He raised the height thereof and ordered it; |
| 29. * | And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof. |
| 30. * | And after that He spread the earth, |
| 31. * | And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof, |
| 32. * | And He made fast the hills, |
| 33. * | A provision for you and for your cattle. |
| 34. * | But when the great disaster cometh, |
| 35. * | The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour, |
| 36. * | And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth, |
| 37. * | Then, as for him who rebelled |
| 38. * | And chose the life of the world, |
| 39. * | Lo! hell will be his home. |
| 40. * | But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust, |
| 41. * | Lo! the Garden will be his home. |
| 42. * | They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port? |
| 43. * | Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof? |
| 44. * | Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof. |
| 45. * | Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it. |
| 46. * | On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof. |
