| 1. * | The Sure Reality! |
| 2. * | What is the Sure Reality? |
| 3. * | And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is? |
| 4. * | The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity! |
| 5. * | But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning! |
| 6. * | And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent; |
| 7. * | He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down! |
| 8. * | Then seest thou any of them left surviving? |
| 9. * | And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin. |
| 10. * | And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty. |
| 11. * | We, when the water (of Noah's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark), |
| 12. * | That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance. |
| 13. * | Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet, |
| 14. * | And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,- |
| 15. * | On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass. |
| 16. * | And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy, |
| 17. * | And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them. |
| 18. * | That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden. |
| 19. * | Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record! |
| 20. * | "I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!" |
| 21. * | And he will be in a life of Bliss, |
| 22. * | In a Garden on high, |
| 23. * | The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near. |
| 24. * | "Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!" |
| 25. * | And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me! |
| 26. * | "And that I had never realised how my account (stood)! |
| 27. * | "Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me! |
| 28. * | "Of no profit to me has been my wealth! |
| 29. * | "My power has perished from me!"... |
| 30. * | (The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him, |
| 31. * | "And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire. |
| 32. * | "Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! |
| 33. * | "This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High. |
| 34. * | "And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent! |
| 35. * | "So no friend hath he here this Day. |
| 36. * | "Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds, |
| 37. * | "Which none do eat but those in sin." |
| 38. * | So I do call to witness what ye see, |
| 39. * | And what ye see not, |
| 40. * | That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger; |
| 41. * | It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe! |
| 42. * | Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive. |
| 43. * | (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds. |
| 44. * | And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name, |
| 45. * | We should certainly seize him by his right hand, |
| 46. * | And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart: |
| 47. * | Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath). |
| 48. * | But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing. |
| 49. * | And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it). |
| 50. * | But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers. |
| 51. * | But verily it is Truth of assured certainty. |
| 52. * | So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High. |
