بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا
Wan naazi 'aati gharqa
By those [angels] who extract with violence
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا
Wan naa shi taati nashta
And [by] those who remove with ease
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا
Wass saabi-haati sabha
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا
Fass saabi qaati sabqa
And those who race each other in a race
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا
Fal mu dab-bi raati amra
And those who arrange [each] matter,
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
Yawma tarjufur raajifa
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
Tatba'u har raadifa
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ
Quloobuny-yau maaiziw-waaji-fa
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ
Absaa ruhaa khashi'ah
Their eyes humbled.
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
Ya qoo loona a-inna lamar doo doona fil haafirah
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ
Aizaa kunna 'izaa man-nakhirah
Even if we should be decayed bones?
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ
Qaalu tilka izan karratun khaasirah.
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ
Fa inna ma hiya zajratuw-waahida
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
Faizaa hum biss saahirah
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Hal ataaka hadeethu Musaa
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
Iz nadaahu rabbuhu bil waadil-muqad dasi tuwa
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
Izhab ilaa fir'auna innahu taghaa.
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Faqul hal laka ilaa-an tazakka.
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
Wa ahdi yaka ila rabbika fatakh sha
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Fa araahul-aayatal kubra.
And he showed him the greatest sign,
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
Fa kazzaba wa asaa.
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Thumma adbara yas'aa.
Then he turned his back, striving.
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Fa hashara fanada.
And he gathered [his people] and called out
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Faqala ana rabbu kumul-a'laa.
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
Fa-akha zahul laahu nakalal aakhirati wal-oola.
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Inna fee zaalika la'ibratal limaiy-yaksha
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا
A-antum a shaddu khalqan amis samaa-u banaaha.
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
Raf'a sam kaha fasaw waaha
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
Wa aghtasha lailaha wa akhraja duhaaha.
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
Wal arda b'ada zaalika dahaaha.
And after that He spread the earth.
