Surah An-Nazi'at

وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا ﴿١﴾

Wan naazi 'aati gharqa

1By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا ﴿٢﴾

Wan naa shi taati nashta

2And [by] those who remove with ease

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا ﴿٣﴾

Wass saabi-haati sabha

3And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا ﴿٤﴾

Fass saabi qaati sabqa

4And those who race each other in a race

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا ﴿٥﴾

Fal mu dab-bi raati amra

5And those who arrange [each] matter,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿٦﴾

Yawma tarjufur raajifa

6On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ﴿٧﴾

Tatba'u har raadifa

7There will follow it the subsequent [one].

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ ﴿٨﴾

Quloobuny-yau maaiziw-waaji-fa

8Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ ﴿٩﴾

Absaa ruhaa khashi'ah

9Their eyes humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ﴿١٠﴾

Ya qoo loona a-inna lamar doo doona fil haafirah

10They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ﴿١١﴾

Aizaa kunna 'izaa man-nakhirah

11Even if we should be decayed bones?

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ﴿١٢﴾

Qaalu tilka izan karratun khaasirah.

12They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ﴿١٣﴾

Fa inna ma hiya zajratuw-waahida

13Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ﴿١٤﴾

Faizaa hum biss saahirah

14And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ﴿١٥﴾

Hal ataaka hadeethu Musaa

15Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿١٦﴾

Iz nadaahu rabbuhu bil waadil-muqad dasi tuwa

16When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ﴿١٧﴾

Izhab ilaa fir'auna innahu taghaa.

17"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

Faqul hal laka ilaa-an tazakka.

18And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾

Wa ahdi yaka ila rabbika fatakh sha

19And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾

Fa araahul-aayatal kubra.

20And he showed him the greatest sign,

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾

Fa kazzaba wa asaa.

21But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ﴿٢٢﴾

Thumma adbara yas'aa.

22Then he turned his back, striving.

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ﴿٢٣﴾

Fa hashara fanada.

23And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٢٤﴾

Faqala ana rabbu kumul-a'laa.

24And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ﴿٢٥﴾

Fa-akha zahul laahu nakalal aakhirati wal-oola.

25So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ﴿٢٦﴾

Inna fee zaalika la'ibratal limaiy-yaksha

26Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ﴿٢٧﴾

A-antum a shaddu khalqan amis samaa-u banaaha.

27Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﴿٢٨﴾

Raf'a sam kaha fasaw waaha

28He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿٢٩﴾

Wa aghtasha lailaha wa akhraja duhaaha.

29And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ﴿٣٠﴾

Wal arda b'ada zaalika dahaaha.

30And after that He spread the earth.

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ﴿٣١﴾

Akhraja minha maa-aha wa mar 'aaha.

31He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ﴿٣٢﴾

Wal jibala arsaaha.

32And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ﴿٣٣﴾

Mataa'al lakum wali an 'aamikum.

33As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿٣٤﴾

Fa-izaa jaaa'atit taaam matul kubraa.

34But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ﴿٣٥﴾

Yauma Yata zakkarul insaanu ma sa'aa.

35The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ﴿٣٦﴾

Wa burrizatil-jaheemu limany-yaraa.

36And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ﴿٣٧﴾

Fa ammaa man taghaa.

37So as for he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿٣٨﴾

Wa aasaral hayaatad dunyaa

38And preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ﴿٣٩﴾

Fa innal jaheema hiyal maawaa.

39Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾

Wa ammaa man khaafa maqaama Rabbihee wa nahan nafsa 'anil hawaa

40But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ﴿٤١﴾

Fa innal jannata hiyal maawaa

41Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ﴿٤٢﴾

Yas'aloonaka 'anis saa'ati ayyaana mursaahaa

42They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ﴿٤٣﴾

Feema anta min zikraahaa

43In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ﴿٤٤﴾

Ilaa Rabbika muntahaa haa

44To your Lord is its finality.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ﴿٤٥﴾

Innamaaa anta munziru maiy yakshaahaa

45You are only a warner for those who fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿٤٦﴾

Ka annahum Yawma yarawnahaa lam yalbasooo illaa 'ashiyyatan aw duhaahaa

46It 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.
