| 1. * | I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), |
| 2. * | By the raging hurricanes, |
| 3. * | Which scatter clouds to their destined places, |
| 4. * | Then separate them one from another, |
| 5. * | Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, |
| 6. * | To clear or to warn. |
| 7. * | Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. |
| 8. * | So when the stars are made to lose their light, |
| 9. * | And when the heaven is rent asunder, |
| 10. * | And when the mountains are carried away as dust, |
| 11. * | And when the messengers are gathered at their appointed time |
| 12. * | To what day is the doom fixed? |
| 13. * | To the day of decision. |
| 14. * | And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? |
| 15. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 16. * | Did We not destroy the former generations? |
| 17. * | Then did We follow them up with later ones. |
| 18. * | Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. |
| 19. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 20. * | Did We not create you from contemptible water? |
| 21. * | Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, |
| 22. * | Till an appointed term, |
| 23. * | So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). |
| 24. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 25. * | Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, |
| 26. * | The living and the dead, |
| 27. * | And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? |
| 28. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 29. * | Walk on to that which you called a lie. |
| 30. * | Walk on to the covering having three branches, |
| 31. * | Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. |
| 32. * | Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, |
| 33. * | As if they were tawny camels. |
| 34. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 35. * | This is the day on which they shall not speak, |
| 36. * | And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. |
| 37. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 38. * | This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. |
| 39. * | So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now). |
| 40. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 41. * | Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains, |
| 42. * | And fruits such as they desire. |
| 43. * | Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did. |
| 44. * | Surely thus do We reward the doers of good. |
| 45. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 46. * | Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty. |
| 47. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 48. * | And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down. |
| 49. * | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 50. * | In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe? |
