Surah An-Nazi’at
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
وَالنّٰزِعٰتِ غَرْقًاۙ١
Wan-nāzi‘āti garqā(n).
[1]
By those [angels] who extract with violence
وَّالنّٰشِطٰتِ نَشْطًاۙ٢
Wan-nāsyiṭāti nasyṭā(n).
[2]
And [by] those who remove with ease
وَّالسّٰبِحٰتِ سَبْحًاۙ٣
Was-sābiḥāti sabḥā(n).
[3]
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
فَالسّٰبِقٰتِ سَبْقًاۙ٤
Fas-sābiqāti sabqā(n).
[4]
And those who race each other in a race
فَالْمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمْرًاۘ٥
Fal-mudabbirāti amrā(n).
[5]
And those who arrange [each] matter,
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُۙ٦
Yauma tarjufur-rājifah(tu).
[6]
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ۗ٧
Tatba‘uhar-rādifah(tu).
[7]
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
قُلُوْبٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّاجِفَةٌۙ٨
Qulūbuy yauma'iżiw wājifah(tun).
[8]
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
اَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ ۘ٩
Abṣāruhā khāsyi‘ah(tun).
[9]
Their eyes humbled.
يَقُوْلُوْنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرْدُوْدُوْنَ فِى الْحَافِرَةِۗ١٠
Yaqūlūna a'innā lamardūdūna fil-ḥāfirah(ti).
[10]
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً ۗ١١
A'iżā kunnā ‘iẓāman nakhirah(tan).
[11]
Even if we should be decayed bones?
قَالُوْا تِلْكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ۘ١٢
Qālū tilka iżan karratun khāsirah(tun).
[12]
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
فَاِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌۙ١٣
Fa innamā hiya zajratuw wāḥidah(tun).
[13]
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
فَاِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِۗ١٤
Fa iżā hum bis-sāhirah(ti).
[14]
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
هَلْ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيْثُ مُوْسٰىۘ١٥
Hal atāka ḥadīṡu mūsā.
[15]
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
اِذْ نَادٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًىۚ١٦
Iż nādāhu rabbuhū bil-wādil-muqaddasi ṭuwā(n).
[16]
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
اِذْهَبْ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰىۖ١٧
Iżhab ilā fir‘auna innahū ṭagā.
[17]
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
فَقُلْ هَلْ لَّكَ اِلٰٓى اَنْ تَزَكّٰىۙ١٨
Fa qul hal laka ilā an tazakkā.
[18]
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
وَاَهْدِيَكَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشٰىۚ١٩
Wa ahdiyaka ilā rabbika fa takhsyā.
[19]
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
فَاَرٰىهُ الْاٰيَةَ الْكُبْرٰىۖ٢٠
Fa arāhul-āyatal-kubrā.
[20]
And he showed him the greatest sign,
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰىۖ٢١
Fa każżaba wa ‘aṣā.
[21]
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
ثُمَّ اَدْبَرَ يَسْعٰىۖ٢٢
Ṡumma adbara yas‘ā.
[22]
Then he turned his back, striving.
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادٰىۖ٢٣
Fa ḥasyara fanādā.
[23]
And he gathered [his people] and called out
فَقَالَ اَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ الْاَعْلٰىۖ٢٤
Fa qāla ana rabbukumul-a‘lā.
[24]
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَكَالَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَالْاُوْلٰىۗ٢٥
Fa akhażahullāhu nakālal-ākhirati wal-ūlā.
[25]
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَنْ يَّخْشٰى ۗ ࣖ٢٦
Inna fī żālika la‘ibratal limay yakhsyā.
[26]
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
ءَاَنْتُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمِ السَّمَاۤءُ ۚ بَنٰىهَاۗ٢٧
A'antum asyaddu khalqan amis-samā'u banāhā.
[27]
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوّٰىهَاۙ٢٨
Rafa‘a samkahā fa sawwāhā.
[28]
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
وَاَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَاَخْرَجَ ضُحٰىهَاۖ٢٩
Wa agṭasya lailahā wa akhraja ḍuḥāhā.
[29]
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
وَالْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰىهَاۗ٣٠
Wal-arḍa ba‘da żālika daḥāhā.
[30]
And after that He spread the earth.
اَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاۤءَهَا وَمَرْعٰىهَاۖ٣١
Akhraja minhā mā'ahā wa mar‘āhā.
[31]
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
وَالْجِبَالَ اَرْسٰىهَاۙ٣٢
Wal-jibāla arsāhā.
[32]
And the mountains He set firmly
مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْۗ٣٣
Matā‘al lakum wa li'an‘āmikum.
[33]
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
فَاِذَا جَاۤءَتِ الطَّاۤمَّةُ الْكُبْرٰىۖ٣٤
Fa iżā jā'atiṭ-ṭāmmatul-kubrā.
[34]
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْاِنْسَانُ مَا سَعٰىۙ٣٥
Yauma yatażakkarul-insānu mā sa‘ā.
[35]
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيْمُ لِمَنْ يَّرٰى٣٦
Wa burrizatil-jaḥīmu limay yarā.
[36]
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
فَاَمَّا مَنْ طَغٰىۖ٣٧
Fa ammā man ṭagā.
[37]
So as for he who transgressed
وَاٰثَرَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَاۙ٣٨
Wa āṡaral-ḥayātad-dun-yā.
[38]
And preferred the life of the world,
فَاِنَّ الْجَحِيْمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوٰىۗ٣٩
Fa innal-jaḥīma hiyal-ma'wā.
[39]
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
وَاَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوٰىۙ٤٠
Wa ammā man khāfa maqāma rabbihī wa nahan-nafsa ‘anil-hawā.
[40]
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
فَاِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوٰىۗ٤١
Fa innal-jannata hiyal-ma'wā.
[41]
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
يَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرْسٰىهَاۗ٤٢
Yas'alūnaka ‘anis-sā‘ati ayyāna mursāhā.
[42]
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
فِيْمَ اَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرٰىهَاۗ٤٣
Fīma anta min żikrāhā.
[43]
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰىهَاۗ٤٤
Ilā rabbika muntahāhā.
[44]
To your Lord is its finality.
اِنَّمَآ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَّخْشٰىهَاۗ٤٥
Innamā anta munżiru may yakhsyāhā.
[45]
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
كَاَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوْٓا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوْ ضُحٰىهَا ࣖ٤٦
Ka'annahum yauma yaraunahā lam yalbaṡū illā ‘asyiyyatan au ḍuḥāhā.
[46]
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.
