The Last Day came near, and the moon split apart

iq'tarabati l-sāʿatu wa-inshaqqa l-qamar

وَإِن یَرَوۡا۟ ءَایَةࣰ یُعۡرِضُوا۟ وَیَقُولُوا۟ سِحۡرࣱ مُّسۡتَمِرࣱّ ۝٢

And when they see a sign, they turn away and say, “Just a customary magic!”

wa-in yaraw āyatan yuʿ'riḍū wayaqūlū siḥ'run mus'tamirru

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوۤا۟ أَهۡوَاۤءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرࣲ مُّسۡتَقِرࣱّ ۝٣

And they denied and followed their own desires, whereas each matter has been decided

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَـٰلِغَةࣱۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٥

The pinnacle of wisdom – so how will the Heralds of warning provide any benefit

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ یَوۡمَ یَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَیۡءࣲ نُّكُرٍ ۝٦

Therefore turn away from them; on the day when the announcer will call towards a severe unknown matter

fatawalla ʿanhum yawma yadʿu l-dāʿi ilā shayin nukuri

خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ یَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادࣱ مُّنتَشِرࣱ ۝٧

They will come out from the graves with eyes lowered, as if they were spread locusts

khushaʿan abṣāruhum yakhrujūna mina l-ajdāthi ka-annahum jarādun muntashiru

مُّهۡطِعِینَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ یَقُولُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا یَوۡمٌ عَسِرࣱ ۝٨

Before these, the people of Nooh denied and they belied Our bondman and said, “He is a madman” and rebuffed him

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنِّی مَغۡلُوبࣱ فَٱنتَصِرۡ ۝١٠

He therefore prayed to his Lord, “I am overpowered, therefore avenge me.”

fadaʿā rabbahu annī maghlūbun fa-intaṣi

فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ أَبۡوَ ٰبَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ بِمَاۤءࣲ مُّنۡهَمِرࣲ ۝١١

And We carried Nooh upon a ship of wooden planks and nails

waḥamalnāhu ʿalā dhāti alwāḥin wadusuri

Sailing in front of Our sight; as a reward for the sake of one who was rejected

So they said, “What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!”

faqālū abasharan minnā wāḥidan nattabiʿuhu innā idhan lafī ḍalālin wasuʿuri

أَءُلۡقِیَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَیۡهِ مِنۢ بَیۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرࣱ ۝٢٥

“What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.”

فَنَادَوۡا۟ صَاحِبَهُمۡ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ ۝٢٩

In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel
