Surah An-Naba'

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

Amma Yatasaa-aloon

Concerning what are they disputing?

عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Anin-nabaa-il 'azeem

Concerning the Great News,

ٱلَّذِي هُمۡ فِيهِ مُخۡتَلِفُونَ

Allazi hum feehi mukh talifoon

About which they cannot agree.

كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

Kallaa sa y'alamoon

Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعۡلَمُونَ

Thumma kallaa sa y'alamoon

Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِهَٰدٗا

Alam naj'alil arda mihaa da

Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَوۡتَادٗا

Wal jibaala au taada

And the mountains as pegs?

وَخَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا

Wa khalaq naakum azwaaja

And (have We not) created you in pairs,

وَجَعَلۡنَا نَوۡمَكُمۡ سُبَاتٗا

Waja'alna naumakum subata

And made your sleep for rest,

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا

Waja'alnal laila libasa

And made the night as a covering,

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشٗا

Waja'alnan nahara ma 'aasha

And made the day as a means of subsistence?

وَبَنَيۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعٗا شِدَادٗا

Wa banaina fauqakum sab 'an shi daada

And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments,

وَجَعَلۡنَا سِرَاجٗا وَهَّاجٗا

Waja'alna siraajaw wah haaja

And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?

وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُعۡصِرَٰتِ مَآءٗ ثَجَّاجٗا

Wa anzalna minal m'usiraati maa-an thaj-jaaja

And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance,

لِّنُخۡرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبّٗا وَنَبَاتٗا

Linukh rija bihee habbaw wana baata

That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,

وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلۡفَافًا

Wa jan naatin alfafa

And gardens of luxurious growth?

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتٗا

Inna yaumal-fasli kana meeqaata

Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed,

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا

Yauma yun fakhu fis-soori fataa toona afwaaja

The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds;

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا

Wa futiha tis samaa-u fakaanat abwaaba

And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا

Wa suyyi raatil jibaalu fa kaanat saraaba

And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادٗا

Inna jahan nama kaanat mirsaada

Truly Hell is as a place of ambush,

لِّلطَّٰغِينَ مَـَٔابٗا

Lit taa gheena ma aaba

For the transgressors a place of destination:

لَّٰبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحۡقَابٗا

Laa bitheena feehaa ahqaaba

They will dwell therein for ages.

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرۡدٗا وَلَا شَرَابًا

Laa ya zooqoona feeha bar daw walaa sharaaba

Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink,

إِلَّا حَمِيمٗا وَغَسَّاقٗا

Illa hamee maw-wa ghas saaqa

Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold,

جَزَآءٗ وِفَاقًا

Jazaa-aw wi faaqa

A fitting recompense (for them).

إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابٗا

Innahum kaanu laa yarjoona hisaaba

For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),

وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابٗا

Wa kazzabu bi aayaa tina kizzaba

But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.

وَكُلَّ شَيۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَٰهُ كِتَٰبٗا

Wa kulla shai-in ahsai naahu kitaa ba

And all things have We preserved on record.

فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

Fa zooqoo falan-nazee dakum ill-laa azaaba

"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment."

إِنَّ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا

Inna lil mutta qeena mafaaza

Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires;

حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعۡنَٰبٗا

Hadaa-iqa wa a'anaa ba

Gardens enclosed, and grapevines;

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتۡرَابٗا

Wa kaawa 'iba at raaba

And voluptuous women of equal age;

وَكَأۡسٗا دِهَاقٗا

Wa ka'san di haaqa

And a cup full (to the brim).

لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغۡوٗا وَلَا كِذَّٰبٗا

Laa yasma'oona fiha lagh waw walaa kizzaba

No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth:-

جَزَآءٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابٗا

Jazaa-am mir-rabbika ataa-an hisaaba

Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient,

رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۖ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِنۡهُ خِطَابٗا

Rabbis samaa waati wal ardi wa maa baina humar rahmaani laa yam likoona minhu khitaaba

(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him.

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفّٗاۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابٗا

Yauma yaqoo mur roohu wal malaa-ikatu saf-fal laa yatakallamoona ill-laa man azina lahur rahmaanu wa qaala sawaaba

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

Zaalikal yaumul haqqu faman shaa-at ta khaaza ill-laa rabbihi ma-aaba

That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord!

إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابٗا قَرِيبٗا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَٰبَۢا

In naa anzar naakum azaaban qareebaiy-yauma yan zurul marr-u maa qaddamat yadaahu wa ya qoolul-kaafiru yaa lai tanee kuntu turaaba

Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!"
