ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ
Iqtarabatis Saa'atu wan shaqqal qamar
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ
Wa iny yaraw aayatany yu'ridoo wa yaqooloo sihrun mustamirr
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
وَكَذَّبُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرٖ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ
Wa kazzaboo wattaba'ooo ahwaaa'ahum; wa kullu amrin mustaqirr
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ
Wa laqad jaaa'ahum minal anbaaa'i maa feehi muzdajar
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
Hikmatun baalighatun famaa tughnin nuzur
Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ
Fatawalla 'anhum; yawma yad'ud daa'i ilaa shai 'in nukur
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادٞ مُّنتَشِرٞ
Khushsha'an absaaruhum yakhrujoona minal ajdaasi ka annahum jaraadum muntashir
They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
مُّهۡطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ يَقُولُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَسِرٞ
Muhti'eena ilad daa'i yaqoolul kaafiroona haazaa yawmun 'asir
Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ فَكَذَّبُواْ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُواْ مَجۡنُونٞ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ
Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohin fakazzaboo 'abdanaa wa qaaloo majnoonunw wazdujir
Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَغۡلُوبٞ فَٱنتَصِرۡ
Fada'aa Rabbahooo annee maghloobun fantasir
Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
فَفَتَحۡنَآ أَبۡوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٖ مُّنۡهَمِرٖ
Fafatahnaaa abwaabas samaaa'i bi maaa'in munhamir
So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُيُونٗا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرٖ قَدۡ قُدِرَ
Wa fajjarnal arda 'uyoonan faltaqal maaa'u 'alaaa amrin qad qudir
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.

Wa hamalnaahu 'alaa zaati alwaahinw wa dusur
But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:
تَجۡرِي بِأَعۡيُنِنَا جَزَآءٗ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
Tajree bi a'yuninaa jazaaa'an liman kaana kufir
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَٰهَآ ءَايَةٗ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ
Wa laqat taraknaahaa aayatan fahal min muddakir
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur
But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?
وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ
Wa laqad yassarnal Qur'aana liz zikri fahal min muddakir
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٞ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
Kazzabat 'Aadun fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur
The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?
إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيحٗا صَرۡصَرٗا فِي يَوۡمِ نَحۡسٖ مُّسۡتَمِرّٖ
Innaa arsalnaa 'alaihim reehan sarsaran fee Yawmi nahsin mustamirr
For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster,
تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٖ مُّنقَعِرٖ
Tanzi'un naasa ka annahum a'jaazu nakhlin munqa'ir
Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground).
فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur
Yea, how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!

But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
Kazzabat Samoodu binnuzur
The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners.
فَقَالُوٓاْ أَبَشَرٗا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدٗا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّفِي ضَلَٰلٖ وَسُعُرٍ
Faqaalooo a' basharan minnaa waahidan nattabi'uhooo innaa izal lafee dalaalinw wa su'ur
For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad!
أَءُلۡقِيَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٞ
A ulqiyaz zikru 'alaihi min baininaa bal huwa kazzaabun ashir
"Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"
سَيَعۡلَمُونَ غَدٗا مَّنِ ٱلۡكَذَّابُ ٱلۡأَشِرُ
Sa-ya'lamoona ghadan manil kazzaabul ashir
Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!
إِنَّا مُرۡسِلُواْ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةٗ لَّهُمۡ فَٱرۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ
Innaa mursilun naaqati fitnatan lahum fartaqibhum wastabir
For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience!

فَنَادَوۡاْ صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ
Fa naadaw saahibahum fa ta'aataa fa 'aqar
But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her).
فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
Fakaifa kaana 'azaabee wa nuzur
Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!
إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَكَانُواْ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلۡمُحۡتَظِرِ
Innaaa arsalnaa 'alaihim saihatanw waahidatan fakaanoo kahasheemil muhtazir
For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle.

Innaa arsalnaa 'alaihim haasiban illaaa aala Lootin najjainaahum bisahar
We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,-
نِّعۡمَةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي مَن شَكَرَ
Ni'matan min 'indinaa; kazaalika najzee man shakar
As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks.
وَلَقَدۡ أَنذَرَهُم بَطۡشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوۡاْ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
Wa laqad anzarahum batshatanaa fatamaaraw binnuzur
And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning.
وَلَقَدۡ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيۡفِهِۦ فَطَمَسۡنَآ أَعۡيُنَهُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ

Kazzaboo bi Aayaatinaa kullihaa fa akhaznaahum akhza 'azeezim muqtadir
The (people) rejected all Our Signs; but We seized them with such Penalty (as comes) from One Exalted in Power, able to carry out His Will.

A kuffaarukum khairun min ulaaa'ikum am lakum baraaa'atun fiz Zubur
