بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّۭا
Wassaaaffaati saffaa
I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًۭا
Fazzaajiraati zajraa
Then those who drive away with reproof,
فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا
Fattaaliyaati Zikra
Then those who recite, being mindful,
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌۭ
Inna Illaahakum la Waahid
Most surely your Allah is One:
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ
Rabbus samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa wa Rabbul mashaariq
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ
Innaa zaiyannas samaaa 'ad dunyaa bizeenatinil kawaakib
Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,
وَحِفْظًۭا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ مَّارِدٍۢ
Wa hifzam min kulli Shaitaanim maarid
And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍۢ
Laa yassamma 'oona ilal mala il a'alaa wa yuqzafoona min kulli jaanib
They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,
دُحُورًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ وَاصِبٌ
Duhooranw wa lahum 'azaabunw waasib
Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ ثَاقِبٌۭ
Illaa man khatifal khatfata fa atba'ahoo shihaabun saaqib
Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ
Fastaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqnaa; innaa khalaqnaahum min teenil laazib
Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ
Bal'ajibta wa yaskharoon
Nay! you wonder while they mock,
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ
Wa izaa zukkiroo laa yazkuroon
And when they are reminded, they mind not,
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ
Wa izaa ra aw Aayatinw yastaskhiroon
And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ
Wa qaalooo in haazaa illaa sihrum mubeen
And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
'A-izaa mitnaa wa kunnaa turaabanw wa 'izaaman 'ainnaa lamab'oosoon
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
Awa aabaa'unal awwaloon
Or our fathers of yore?
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ
Qul na'am wa antum daakhiroon
Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
Fa innamaa hiya zajra tunw waahidatun fa izaa hum yanzuroon
So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Qa qaaloo yaa wailanaa haazaa Yawmud-Deen
And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Haazaa Yawmul Faslil lazee kuntum bihee tukaziboon
This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.
۞ ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ
Uhshurul lazeena zalamoo wa azwaajahum wa maa kaanoo ya'budoon
Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Min doonil laahi fahdoohum ilaa siraatil Jaheem
Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
وَقِفُوهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ
Wa qifoohum innahum mas'ooloon
And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
Maa lakum laa tanaasaroon
What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
Bal humul Yawma mustaslimoon
Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Wa aqbala ba'duhum 'alaa ba'diny yatasaaa'aloon
And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Qaalooo innakum kuntum taatoonanaa 'anil yameen
They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
Qaaloo bal lam takoonoo mu'mineen
They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًۭا طَٰغِينَ
Wa maa kaana lanaa 'alaikum min sultaanim bal kuntum qawman taagheen
And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;
Meccan
