Al-Mursalat

وَٱلْمُرْسَلَـٰتِ عُرْفًا

WALMURSALAATI ʻurfaa,

By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

فَٱلْعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصْفًا

Falʻaaṣifaati ʻaṣfaa,

And the winds that blow violently

وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًا

Wannaashiraati nashraa,

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

فَٱلْفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرْقًا

Falfaariq̣aati farq̣aa,

And those [angels] who bring criterion

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا

Falmulq̣iyaati ẓikraa,

And those [angels] who deliver a message

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا

ʻUẓran ʹaw nuẓraa;―

As justification or warning,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌ

ʹInnamaa tooʻadoona lawaaq̣iʻ.

Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ

Faʹiẓan nujoomu ṭumisat;

So when the stars are obliterated

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ

Wa-ʹiẓas samaaaʹu furijat;

And when the heaven is opened

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ

Wa-ʹiẓal jibaalu nusifat;

And when the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ

Wa-ʹizar rusulu ʹuq̣q̣itat;

And when the messengers' time has come...

لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ

Liʹayyi Yawmin ʹujjilat?

For what Day was it postponed?

لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ

Li-Yawmil faṣl.

For the Day of Judgement.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ

Wa-maaa ʹadraaka maa- Yawmul faṣl?

And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Wayluñy Yawmaʹiẓil lilmukaẓẓibeen!

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

ʹAlam nuhlikil ʹawwaleen?

Did We not destroy the former peoples?

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

S̤umma nutbiʻuhumul ʹaakhireen.

Then We will follow them with the later ones.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Kaẓaalika nafʻalu bilmujrimeen.

Thus do We deal with the criminals.

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ

ʹAlam nakhlukkum mim maaaʹim maheen?

Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ

Fajaʻalnaahu fee q̣araarim makeen,

And We placed it in a firm lodging [i.e., the womb]

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

ʹIlaa q̣adarim maʻloom?

For a known extent.

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَـٰدِرُونَ

Faq̣adarnaa faniʻmal Q̣aadiroon.

And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Wayluñy Yawmaʹiẓil lilmukaẓẓibeen!

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا

ʹAlam najʻalil ʹarḍa kifaataa,

Have We not made the earth a container

أَحْيَآءً وَأَمْوَٰتًا

ʹAḥyaaaʹañw Waʹamwaataa,

Of the living and the dead?

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَـٰمِخَـٰتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُم مَّآءً فُرَاتًا

Wa-jaʻalnaa feehaa rawaasiya shaamikhaatiñw waʹasq̣aynaakum maaaʹañ furaataa?

And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Wayluñy Yawmaʹiẓil lilmukaẓẓibeen!

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

ʹIñṭaliq̣ooo ʹilaa maa- kuñtum̃ bihee tukaẓẓiboon:

[They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny.

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِى ثَلَـٰثِ شُعَبٍ

ʹIñṭaliq̣ooo ʹilaa z̤̣illiñ ẓee s̤alaas̤i shuʻab.

Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns

لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ

laa-Laa z̤̣aleeliñw wa yug̣nee minal lahab.

[But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍ كَٱلْقَصْرِ

ʹInnahaa tarmee bisharariñ kalq̣aṣr,

Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress,

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَـٰلَتٌ صُفْرٌ

Kaʹannahoo jimaalatuñ ṣufr.

As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Haaẓaa Yawmu laa- yañṭiq̣oon,

This is a Day they will not speak,

وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ

Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse.

Wayluñy Yawmaʹiẓil lilmukaẓẓibeen!

This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples.

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيدُونِ

Faʹiñ kaana lakum kayduñ fakeedoon!

So if you have a plan, then plan against Me.

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ وَعُيُونٍ

ʹInnal Muttaq̣eena fee z̤̣ilaaliñw waʻuyoon,

Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs

وَفَوَٰكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

Wa-fawaakiha mimmaa yashtahoon.

And fruits from whatever they desire,

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Kuloo washraboo haneeeʹam bimaa kuñtum taʻmaloon.

[Being told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

ʹInnaa kaẓaalika najzil Muḥsineen.

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Kuloo wa-tamattaʻoo q̣aleelan ʹinnakum mujrimoon.

[O disbelievers], eat and enjoy yourselves a little; indeed, you are criminals.

Wayluñy Yawmaʹiẓil lil-Mukaẓẓibeen!

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرْكَعُوا۟ لَا يَرْكَعُونَ

Wa-ʹiẓaa q̣eela lahumur kaʻoo laa- yarkaʻoon.

And when it is said to them, "Bow [in prayer]," they do not bow.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Wayluñy Yawmaʹiẓil lil-Mukaẓẓibeen!

فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Fabiʹayyi Ḥadees̤im baʻdahoo yuʹminoon?

Then in what statement after it [i.e., the Qur’ān] will they believe?
