| 1. * | Whereof do they question one another? |
| 2. * | (It is) of the awful tidings, |
| 3. * | Concerning which they are in disagreement. |
| 4. * | Nay, but they will come to know! |
| 5. * | Nay, again, but they will come to know! |
| 6. * | Have We not made the earth an expanse, |
| 7. * | And the high hills bulwarks? |
| 8. * | And We have created you in pairs, |
| 9. * | And have appointed your sleep for repose, |
| 10. * | And have appointed the night as a cloak, |
| 11. * | And have appointed the day for livelihood. |
| 12. * | And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), |
| 13. * | And have appointed a dazzling lamp, |
| 14. * | And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, |
| 15. * | Thereby to produce grain and plant, |
| 16. * | And gardens of thick foliage. |
| 17. * | Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time, |
| 18. * | A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes, |
| 19. * | And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates, |
| 20. * | And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage. |
| 21. * | Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, |
| 22. * | A home for the rebellious. |
| 23. * | They will abide therein for ages. |
| 24. * | Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink |
| 25. * | Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: |
| 26. * | Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). |
| 27. * | For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; |
| 28. * | They called Our revelations false with strong denial. |
| 29. * | Everything have We recorded in a Book. |
| 30. * | So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. |
| 31. * | Lo! for the duteous is achievement - |
| 32. * | Gardens enclosed and vineyards, |
| 33. * | And maidens for companions, |
| 34. * | And a full cup. |
| 35. * | There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying - |
| 36. * | Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment - |
| 37. * | Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse. |
| 38. * | On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right. |
| 39. * | That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord. |
| 40. * | Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!" |
