77Al-Mursalaat

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا

By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another

فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا

By the raging hurricanes,

وَالنَّاشِرَاتِ نَشْرًا

By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;

فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا

By those who winnow with a winnowing,

فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا

By those who bring down the Reminder,

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا

To excuse or to warn,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَاقِعٌ

Surely that which ye are promised will befall.

فَإِذَا النُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ

So when the stars are put out,

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ فُرِجَتْ

And when the sky is riven asunder,

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ

And when the mountains are blown away,

وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ

And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -

لِأَيِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ

For what day is the time appointed?

لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ

For the Day of Decision.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ

And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Destroyed We not the former folk,

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرِينَ

Then caused the latter folk to follow after?

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ

Thus deal We ever with the guilty.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقْكُمْ مِنْ مَاءٍ مَهِينٍ

Did We not create you from a base fluid

فَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي قَرَارٍ مَكِينٍ

Which We laid up in a safe abode

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَعْلُومٍ

For a known term?

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ الْقَادِرُونَ

Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا

Have We not made the earth a receptacle

أَحْيَاءً وَأَمْوَاتًا

Both for the living and the dead,

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ شَامِخَاتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمْ مَاءً فُرَاتًا

And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein?

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

انْطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ مَا كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

(It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny;

انْطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِي ثَلَاثِ شُعَبٍ

Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,

لَا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنَ اللَّهَبِ

(Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame.

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِي بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصْرِ

Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,

كَأَنَّهُ جِمَالَتٌ صُفْرٌ

(Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنْطِقُونَ

This is a day wherein they speak not,

وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ

Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَاكُمْ وَالْأَوَّلِينَ

This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.

فَإِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيدُونِ

If now ye have any wit, outwit Me.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي ظِلَالٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains,

وَفَوَاكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

And fruits such as they desire.

كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

(Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Thus do We reward the good.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

كُلُوا وَتَمَتَّعُوا قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ مُجْرِمُونَ

Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوا لَا يَرْكَعُونَ

When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ

In what statement, after this, will they believe?
