The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
اِقْتَـرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ

And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."
وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا اٰيَةً يُّعْرِضُوْا وَيَقُوْلُوْا سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ

And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.
وَكَذَّبُوْا وَاتَّبَعُوْۤا اَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَكُلُّ اَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence -
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَنْۢبَآءِ مَا فِيْهِ مُزْدَجَرٌۙ

Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them].
حِكْمَةٌ ۢ بَالِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُۙ

So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ اِلٰى شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍۙ

Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,
خُشَّعًا اَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَجْدَاثِ كَاَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنْتَشِرٌۙ

Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, "This is a difficult Day."
مُّهْطِعِيْنَ اِلَى الدَّاعِۗ يَقُوْلُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ هٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ

The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, "A madman," and he was repelled.
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ فَكَذَّبُوْا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوْا مَجْنُوْنٌ وَّازْدُجِرَ

So he invoked his Lord, "Indeed, I am overpowered, so help."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهٗۤ اَنِّىْ مَغْلُوْبٌ فَانْـتَصِرْ

Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down
فَفَتَحْنَاۤ اَبْوَابَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍۖ

And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.
وَّفَجَّرْنَا الْاَرْضَ عُيُوْنًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَآءُ عَلٰٓى اَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَۚ

And We carried him on a [construction of] planks and nails,
وَحَمَلْنٰهُ عَلٰى ذَاتِ اَلْوَاحٍ وَّدُسُرٍۙ

Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.
تَجْرِىْ بِاَعْيُنِنَاۚ جَزَآءً لِّمَنْ كَانَ كُفِرَ

And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?
وَلَقَدْ تَّرَكْنٰهَاۤ اٰيَةً فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِىْ وَنُذُرِ

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْاٰنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ

'Aad denied; and how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِىْ وَنُذُرِ

Indeed, We sent upon them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune,
اِنَّاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيْحًا صَرْصَرًا فِىْ يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّۙ

Extracting the people as if they were trunks of palm trees uprooted.
تَنْزِعُ النَّاسَۙ كَاَنَّهُمْ اَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنْقَعِرٍ

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِىْ وَنُذُرِ

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْاٰنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ

Thamud denied the warning
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ بِالنُّذُرِ

And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness.
فَقَالُـوْۤا اَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَاحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهٗۤ ۙ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّفِىْ ضَلٰلٍ وَّسُعُرٍ

Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar."
ءَاُلْقِىَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ اَشِرٌ

They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.
سَيَعْلَمُوْنَ غَدًا مَّنِ الْكَذَّابُ الْاَشِرُ

Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.
اِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْۖ

And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ اَنَّ الْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌ ۢ بَيْنَهُمْۚ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].
فَنَادَوْا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطٰى فَعَقَرَ

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِىْ وَنُذُرِ

Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.
اِنَّاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَكَانُوْا كَهَشِيْمِ الْمُحْتَظِرِ

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْاٰنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ

The people of Lot denied the warning.
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ ۢ بِالنُّذُرِ

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn
اِنَّاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا اِلَّاۤ اٰلَ لُوْطٍۗ نَّجَّيْنٰهُمْ بِسَحَرٍۙ

As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.
نِّعْمَةً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَاۗ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِىْ مَنْ شَكَرَ

And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.
وَلَقَدْ اَنْذَرَهُمْ بَطْشَتَـنَا فَتَمَارَوْا بِالنُّذُرِ

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."
وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدُوْهُ عَنْ ضَيْفِهٖ فَطَمَسْنَاۤ اَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابِىْ وَنُذُرِ

And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment.
وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُمْ بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ ۚ

So taste My punishment and warning.
فَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابِىْ وَنُذُرِ

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْاٰنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ

And there certainly came to the people of Pharaoh warning.
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ النُّذُرُۚ

They denied Our signs, all of them, so We seized them with a seizure of one Exalted in Might and Perfect in Ability.
كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ اَخْذَ عَزِيْزٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ

Are your disbelievers better than those [former ones], or have you immunity in the scripture?
اَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ اُولٰٓٮِٕكُمْ اَمْ لَكُمْ بَرَآءَةٌ فِى الزُّبُرِۚ

Or do they say, "We are an assembly supporting [each other]"?
اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ نَحْنُ جَمِيْعٌ مُّنْتَصِرٌ

[Their] assembly will be defeated, and they will turn their backs [in retreat].
سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّوْنَ الدُّبُرَ

But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.
بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَالسَّاعَةُ اَدْهٰى وَاَمَرُّ

Indeed, the criminals are in error and madness.
اِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ فِىْ ضَلٰلٍ وَّسُعُرٍۘ

The Day they are dragged into the Fire on their faces [it will be said], "Taste the touch of Saqar."
يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُوْنَ فِى النَّارِ عَلٰى وُجُوْهِهِمْۗ ذُوْقُوْا مَسَّ سَقَرَ

Indeed, all things We created with predestination.
اِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنٰهُ بِقَدَرٍ

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.
وَمَاۤ اَمْرُنَاۤ اِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍۢ بِالْبَصَرِ

And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?
وَلَقَدْ اَهْلَـكْنَاۤ اَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُّدَّكِرٍ

And everything they did is in written records.
وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ فَعَلُوْهُ فِى الزُّبُرِ

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.
وَ كُلُّ صَغِيْرٍ وَّكَبِيْرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,
اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ فِىْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّنَهَرٍۙ

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.
فِىْ مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيْكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ
