By those [angels] who extract with violence
وَالنّٰزِعٰتِ غَرْقًا ۙ
And [by] those who remove with ease
وَّالنّٰشِطٰتِ نَشْطًا ۙ
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
وَّالسّٰبِحٰتِ سَبْحًا ۙ
And those who race each other in a race
فَالسّٰبِقٰتِ سَبْقًا ۙ
And those who arrange [each] matter,
فَالْمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمْرًا ۘ
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ۙ
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ۗ
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
قُلُوْبٌ يَّوْمَٮِٕذٍ وَّاجِفَةٌ ۙ
Their eyes humbled.
اَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ ۘ
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
يَقُوْلُوْنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرْدُوْدُوْنَ فِى الْحَـافِرَةِ ۗ
Even if we should be decayed bones?
ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً ۗ
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
قَالُوْا تِلْكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ۘ
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
فَاِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۙ
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
فَاِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ۗ
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
هَلْ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيْثُ مُوْسٰىۘ
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
اِذْ نَادٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًىۚ
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
اِذْهَبْ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰىۖ
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
فَقُلْ هَلْ لَّكَ اِلٰٓى اَنْ تَزَكّٰى ۙ
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
وَاَهْدِيَكَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشٰىۚ
And he showed him the greatest sign,
فَاَرٰٮهُ الْاٰيَةَ الْكُبْرٰىۖ
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰىۖ
Then he turned his back, striving.
ثُمَّ اَدْبَرَ يَسْعٰىۖ
And he gathered [his people] and called out
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادٰىۖ
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
فَقَالَ اَنَاۡ رَبُّكُمُ الْاَعْلٰى ۖ
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَكَالَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَالْاُوْلٰى ۗ
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [ Allah ].
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَنْ يَّخْشٰىۗ
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
ءَاَنْتُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمِ السَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنٰٮهَا ۗ
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوّٰٮهَا ۙ
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
وَ اَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَاَخْرَجَ ضُحٰٮهَاۖ
And after that He spread the earth.
وَالْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰٮهَا ۗ
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
اَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعٰٮهَاۖ
And the mountains He set firmly
وَالْجِبَالَ اَرْسٰٮهَا ۙ
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
مَتَاعًا لَّـكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْۗ
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّةُ الْكُبْرٰىۖ
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْاِنْسَانُ مَا سَعٰىۙ
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيْمُ لِمَنْ يَّرٰى
So as for he who transgressed
فَاَمَّا مَنْ طَغٰىۙ
And preferred the life of the world,
وَاٰثَرَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا ۙ
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
فَاِنَّ الْجَحِيْمَ هِىَ الْمَأْوٰىۗ
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
وَاَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَ نَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوٰىۙ
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
فَاِنَّ الْجَـنَّةَ هِىَ الْمَأْوٰىۗ
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
يَسْـــَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرْسٰٮهَا ۗ
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
فِيْمَ اَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرٰٮهَاۗ
To your Lord is its finality.
اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰٮهَاۗ
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَّخْشٰٮهَاۗ
It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
كَاَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوْۤا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوْ ضُحٰٮهَا
