بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
wal-nāziʿāti gharqan
By those ˹angels˺ stripping out ˹evil souls˺ harshly,
wal-nāshiṭāti nashṭan
and those pulling out ˹good souls˺ gently,
wal-sābiḥāti sabḥan
and those gliding ˹through heavens˺ swiftly,
fal-sābiqāti sabqan
and those taking the lead vigorously,
fal-mudabirāti amran
and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺!
yawma tarjufu l-rājifatu
˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the quaking Blast will come to pass,
tatbaʿuhā l-rādifatu
followed by a second Blast.
qulūbun yawma-idhin wājifatun
˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺,
abṣāruhā khāshiʿatun
with their eyes downcast.
yaqūlūna a-innā lamardūdūna fī l-ḥāfirati
˹But now˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “Will we really be restored to our former state,
a-idhā kunnā ʿiẓāman nakhiratan
even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”
qālū til'ka idhan karratun khāsiratun
Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”
fa-innamā hiya zajratun wāḥidatun
But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast,
fa-idhā hum bil-sāhirati
and at once they will be above ground.
hal atāka ḥadīthu mūsā
Has the story of Moses reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
idh nādāhu rabbuhu bil-wādi l-muqadasi ṭuwan
His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa,
idh'hab ilā fir'ʿawna innahu ṭaghā
˹commanding,˺ “Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.
faqul hal laka ilā an tazakkā
And say, ‘Would you ˹be willing to˺ purify yourself,
wa-ahdiyaka ilā rabbika fatakhshā
and let me guide you to your Lord so that you will be in awe ˹of Him˺?’”
fa-arāhu l-āyata l-kub'rā
Then Moses showed him the great sign,
fakadhaba waʿaṣā
but he denied and disobeyed ˹Allah˺,
thumma adbara yasʿā
then turned his back, striving ˹against the truth˺.
faḥashara fanādā
Then he summoned ˹his people˺ and called out,
faqāla anā rabbukumu l-aʿlā
saying, “I am your lord, the most high!”
fa-akhadhahu l-lahu nakāla l-ākhirati wal-ūlā
So Allah overtook him, making him an example in this life and the next.
inna fī dhālika laʿib'ratan liman yakhshā
Surely in this is a lesson for whoever stands in awe of ˹Allah˺.
a-antum ashaddu khalqan ami l-samāu banāhā
Which is harder to create: you or the sky? He built it,
rafaʿa samkahā fasawwāhā
raising it high and forming it flawlessly.
wa-aghṭasha laylahā wa-akhraja ḍuḥāhā
He dimmed its night, and brought forth its daylight.
wal-arḍa baʿda dhālika daḥāhā
As for the earth, He spread it out as well,
