Adh-Dhariyat

وَٱلذَّٰرِيَـٰتِ ذَرْوًا

Waẓ-Ẓaariyaati ẓarwaa.

By the [winds] scattering [dust], dispersing [it]

فَٱلْحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقْرًا

Falḥaamilaati wiq̣raa.

And the [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

فَٱلْجَـٰرِيَـٰتِ يُسْرًا

Faljaariyaati yusraa.

And the ships sailing with ease

فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمْرًا

Falmuq̣assimaati ʹAmraa.

And the [angels] apportioning [each] matter,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ

ʹInnamaa tooʻadoona laṣaadiq̣;

Indeed, what you are promised is true.

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌ

Wa-ʹinnad Deena lawaaq̣iʻ.

And indeed, the recompense is to occur.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ

Wassamaaaʹi ẓaatil Ḥubuk,

By the heaven containing pathways,

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ

ʹInnakum lafee q̣awlim mukhtalif.

Indeed, you are in differing speech.

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ

Yuʹfaku ʻanhu man ʹufik.

Deluded away from it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is he who is deluded.

قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ

Q̣utilal kharraaṣoon,―

Destroyed are the misinformers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ

ʹAllaẓeena hum fee g̣amratiñ saahoon:

Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Yasʹaloona ʹayyaana Yawmud Deen?

They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ

Yawma hum ʻalan Naari yuftanoon!

[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Ẓooq̣oo fitnatakum! Haa-ẓal laẓee kuñtum̃ bihee tas-taʻjiloon!

[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

ʹInnal Muttaq̣eena fee Jannaatiñw Waʻuyoon,

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ

ʹAakhiẓeena maaa ʹaataahum Rabbuhum: ʹinnahum kaanoo q̣abla ẓaalika Muḥsineen.

Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ

Kaanoo q̣aleelam minal layli maa- yahjaʻoon:

They used to sleep but little of the night,

وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

Wa-bilʹasḥaari hum yastag̣firoon:

And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,

وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ

Wa-feee ʹamwaalihim ḥaq̣q̣ul lissaaaʹili walmaḥroom.

And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.

وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَـٰتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ

Wa-fil ʹarḍi ʹAayaatul lil-Mooq̣ineen,

And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ

Wa-feee ʹañfusikum ʹafalaa tubṣiroon?

And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

Wa-fis samaaaʹi Rizq̣ukum wa-maa tooʻadoon.

And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ

Fawa-Rabbis samaaaʹi wal-ʹarḍi ʹinnahoo la-Ḥaq̣q̣um mis̤la maaa ʹannakum tañṭiq̣oon.

Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ

Hal ʹataaka ḥadees̤u ḍayfi ʹibraaheemal mukrameen?

Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا ۖ قَالَ سَلَـٰمٌ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ

ʹIẓ dakhaloo ʻalayhi faq̣aaloo Salaamaa! Q̣aala Salaam! Q̣awmum muñkaroon.

When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown."

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ سَمِينٍ

Faraag̣a ʹilaaa ʹahlihee fajaaaʹa biʻijliñ sameen,

Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf.

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ

Faq̣arrabahooo ʹilayhim Q̣aala ʹalaa taʹkuloon?

And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ

Faʹawjasa minhum kheefaḥ Q̣aaloo laa- takhaf! wa-bashsharoohu big̣ulaamin ʻaleem.

And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ

Faʹaq̣balatim raʹatuhoo fee ṣarratiñ faṣakkat wajhahaa wa-q̣aalat ʻajoozun ʻaq̣eem!

And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Q̣aaloo kaẓaaliki q̣aala Rabbuk: ʹinnahoo Huwal Ḥakeemul ʻAleem.

They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ

Q̣aala famaa khaṭbukum ʹayyuhal Mursaloon?

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ

Q̣aalooo ʹinnaaa ʹursilnaaa ʹilaa q̣awmim mujrimeen;―

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ

Linursila ʻalayhim ḥijaaratam miñ ṭeen.

To send down upon them stones of clay,

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ

Musawwamatan ʻiñda Rabbika lilmusrifeen.

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Faʹakhrajnaa mañ kaana feehaa minal Muʹmineen.

So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ

Famaa wa-jadnaa feeha g̣ayra baytim minal Muslimeen:

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

Wa-taraknaa feehaaa ʹAayatal lillaẓeena yakhaafoonal ʻAẓaabal ʹaleem.

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

Wa-fee Moosaaa ʹiẓ ʹarsalnaahu ʹilaa Firʻawna bisulṭaanim mubeen.

And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَـٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

Fatawallaa biruknihee wa-q̣aala ˹saaḥirun ʹaw majnoon!

But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."

فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ

Faʹakhaẓnaahu wa-junoo-dahoo fanabaẓnaahum fil yammi wa-huwa muleem.

So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ

Wa-fee ʻAadin ʹiẓ ʹarsalnaa ʻalayhimur Reeḥal ʻaq̣eem:

And in ʿAad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ

Maa- taẓaru miñ shayʹin ʹatat ʻalayhi ʹillaa jaʻalathu karrameem.

It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

Wa-fee S̤amooda ʹiẓ q̣eela lahum tamattaʻoo ḥattaa ḥeen!

And in Thamūd, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

Faʻataw ʻan ʹAmri Rabbihim faʹakhaẓathumuṣ ṣaaʻiq̣atu wa-hum yañz̤̣uroon.

But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

فَمَا ٱسْتَطَـٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ

famas taṭaaʻoo miñ q̣iyaamiñw wamaa kaanoo muñtaṣireen.

And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ

Wa-Q̣awma Nooḥim miñ q̣abl: ʹinnahum kaanoo q̣awmañ faasiq̣een.

And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

Was-Samaaaʹa banaynaahaa biʹaydiñw waʹInnaa lamoosiʻoon.

And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَـٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَـٰهِدُونَ

Wal-ʹarḍa farashnaahaa faniʻmal maahidoon!

And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Wa-miñ kulli shayʹin khalaq̣naa zawjayni laʻallakum taẓakkaroon.

And of all things We created two mates [i.e., counterparts]; perhaps you will remember.

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Fafirrooo ʹilal laah: ʹinnee lakum minhu Naẓeerum mubeen!

So flee to Allāh. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Wa-laa tajʻaloo maʻal laahi ʹilaahan ʹaakhar: ʹinnee lakum minhu Naẓeerum mubeen!

And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ

Kaẓaalika maaa ʹatal laẓeena miñ q̣ablihim mir Rasoolin ʹillaa q̣aaloo saaḥirun ʹaw majnoon!

Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ

ʹAtawaaṣaw bih? Bal hum q̣awmuñ ṭaag̣oon!

Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ

Fatawalla ʻanhum famaaa ʹañta bimaloom.

So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Wa-ẓakkir faʹinnaẓ Ẓikraa tañfaʻul Muʹmineen.

And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

Wa-maa khalaq̣tul Jinna wal-ʹiñsa ʹillaa liyaʻbudoon.

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ

Maaa ʹureedu minhum mir Rizq̣iñw Wamaaa ʹureedu ʹañy yuṭʻimoon.

I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ

ʹInnal laaha Huwar Razzaaq̣u Ẓul Q̣uwwatil Mateen.

Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

Faʹinna lillaẓeena z̤̣alamoo ẓanoobam mis̤la ẓanoobi ʹaṣḥaabihim falaa yastaʻjiloon!

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

Fawaylul lillaẓeena kafaroo miñy Yawmihimul laẓee yooʻadoon

And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
