ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝١

The Hour has drawn near and the moon has ruptured.

وَإِن یَرَوۡا۟ ءَایَةࣰ یُعۡرِضُوا۟ وَیَقُولُوا۟ سِحۡرࣱ مُّسۡتَمِرࣱّ ۝٢

Yet whenever they see a miracle, they disregard (it) and say, “Continuous magic!”

And they disbelieved and followed their whims. And every matter is bound to settle.

وَلَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَاۤءِ مَا فِیهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ ۝٤

And most surely there have come to them tidings containing a deterrent—

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَـٰلِغَةࣱۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٥

profound wisdom, but warnings are of no avail.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ یَوۡمَ یَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَیۡءࣲ نُّكُرٍ ۝٦

So turn awaysg from them. On the day when the Summoner summons to something terrible,

fatawalla ʿanhum yawma yadʿu l-dāʿi ilā shayin nukuri

خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ یَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادࣱ مُّنتَشِرࣱ ۝٧

with their sight(s) (subdued) in reverence they come out of the tombs like swarming locusts,

مُّهۡطِعِینَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ یَقُولُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا یَوۡمٌ عَسِرࣱ ۝٨

So he called upon his Lord, “I am overcome, so bestow help!”
