1. Iqtarabatis Saa'atu wan shaqqal qamarThe Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder. اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ

2. Wa iny yaraw aayatany yu'ridoo wa yaqooloo sihrun mustamirrBut if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."وَإِنْ يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ

3. Wa kazzaboo wattaba'ooo ahwaaa'ahum; wa kullu amrin mustaqirrThey reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.وَكَذَّبُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُسْتَقِرٌّ

4. Wa laqad jaaa'ahum minal anbaaa'i maa feehi muzdajarThere have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ مِنَ الْأَنْبَاءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ

6. Fatawalla 'anhum; yawma yad'ud daa'i ilaa shai 'in nukurTherefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيْءٍ نُكُرٍ

7. Khushsha'an absaaruhum yakhrujoona minal ajdaasi ka annahum jaraadum muntashirThey will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,خُشَّعًا أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُنْتَشِرٌ

8. Muhti'eena ilad daa'i yaqoolul kaafiroona haazaa yawmun 'asirHastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.مُهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ الْكَافِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ

9. Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohin fakazzaboo 'abdanaa wa qaaloo majnoonunw wazdujirBefore them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ

10. Fada'aa Rabbahooo annee maghloobun fantasirThen he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ

13. Wa hamalnaahu 'alaa zaati alwaahinw wa dusurBut We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَاحٍ وَدُسُرٍ

14. Tajree bi a'yuninaa jazaaa'an liman kaana kufirShe floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!تَجْرِي بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَاءً لِمَنْ كَانَ كُفِرَ

15. Wa laqat taraknaahaa aayatan fahal min muddakirAnd We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?وَلَقَدْ تَرَكْنَاهَا آيَةً فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ
