بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
wal-ṣāfāti ṣaffan
By those ˹angels˺ lined up in ranks,
fal-zājirāti zajran
and those who diligently drive ˹the clouds˺,
fal-tāliyāti dhik'ran
and those who recite the Reminder!
inna ilāhakum lawāḥidun
Surely your God is One!
rabbu l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā warabbu l-mashāriqi
˹He is˺ the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, and the Lord of all points of sunrise.
innā zayyannā l-samāa l-dun'yā bizīnatin l-kawākibi
Indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven with the stars for decoration
waḥif'ẓan min kulli shayṭānin māridin
and ˹for˺ protection from every rebellious devil.
lā yassammaʿūna ilā l-mala-i l-aʿlā wayuq'dhafūna min kulli jānibin
They cannot listen to the highest assembly ˹of angels˺ for they are pelted from every side,
duḥūran walahum ʿadhābun wāṣibun
˹fiercely˺ driven away. And they will suffer an everlasting torment.
illā man khaṭifa l-khaṭfata fa-atbaʿahu shihābun thāqibun
But whoever manages to stealthily eavesdrop is ˹instantly˺ pursued by a piercing flare.
fa-is'taftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqnā innā khalaqnāhum min ṭīnin lāzibin
So ask them ˹O Prophet˺, which is harder to create: them or other marvels of Our creation? Indeed, We created them from a sticky clay.
bal ʿajib'ta wayaskharūna
In fact, you are astonished ˹by their denial˺, while they ridicule ˹you˺.
wa-idhā dhukkirū lā yadhkurūna
When they are reminded, they are never mindful.
wa-idhā ra-aw āyatan yastaskhirūna
And whenever they see a sign, they make fun of it,
waqālū in hādhā illā siḥ'run mubīnun
saying, “This is nothing but pure magic.
a-idhā mit'nā wakunnā turāban waʿiẓāman a-innā lamabʿūthūna
When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected?
awaābāunā l-awalūna
And our forefathers as well?”
qul naʿam wa-antum dākhirūna
Say, “Yes! And you will be fully humbled.”
fa-innamā hiya zajratun wāḥidatun fa-idhā hum yanẓurūna
It will only take one Blast, then at once they will see ˹it all˺.
waqālū yāwaylanā hādhā yawmu l-dīni
They will cry, “Oh, woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!”
hādhā yawmu l-faṣli alladhī kuntum bihi tukadhibūna
˹They will be told,˺ “This is the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision which you used to deny.”
uḥ'shurū alladhīna ẓalamū wa-azwājahum wamā kānū yaʿbudūna
˹Allah will say to the angels,˺ “Gather ˹all˺ the wrongdoers along with their peers, and whatever they used to worship
min dūni l-lahi fa-ih'dūhum ilā ṣirāṭi l-jaḥīmi
instead of Allah, then lead them ˹all˺ to the path of Hell.
waqifūhum innahum masūlūna
And detain them, for they must be questioned.”
mā lakum lā tanāṣarūna
˹Then they will be asked,˺ “What is the matter with you that you can no longer help each other?”
bal humu l-yawma mus'taslimūna
In fact, on that Day they will be ˹fully˺ submissive.
wa-aqbala baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin yatasāalūna
They will turn on each other, throwing blame.
qālū innakum kuntum tatūnanā ʿani l-yamīni
The misled will say, “It was you who deluded us away from what is right.”
qālū bal lam takūnū mu'minīna
The misleaders will reply, “No! You disbelieved on your own.
wamā kāna lanā ʿalaykum min sul'ṭānin bal kuntum qawman ṭāghīna
We had no authority over you. In fact, you yourselves were a transgressing people.
