اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

"Go to Pharaoh! He has indeed exceeded all bounds,"

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

"You then ask him, `Would you like to reform?'"

Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

"`Would you allow me to guide you to your Lord, so that you fear Him?'"

Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ

فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ

Allah then seized him for punishment both in the Hereafter and here

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

There is indeed a lesson in this for those who fear Allah

Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

2 The Great Calamity

أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا

Are you more difficult to create or the heaven to construct

Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا

HE raised its structure and then balanced it aright

RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا

And made its night dark and its day bright

Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا

And the earth thereafter — He spread it out

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ

So when the great event occurs

Fa-itha jaati alttammatu alkubra

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ

That Day man would recount what he strove for

Yawma yatathakkaru al-insanu ma saAAa

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

And the Hell would be made manifest for all to see

Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

And then anyone who had transgressed divinely set bounds

Faamma man tagha

وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

And had preferred the life of this world

Waathara alhayata alddunya

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

That one's abode shall indeed be in Hell

Fa-inna aljaheema hiya alma/wa

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ

And one who had been afraid of standing before his Lord and had restrained one's self from carnal desires

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

That one's abode shall indeed be in Paradise

Fa-inna aljannata hiya alma/wa

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا

They ask you [Prophet] about the Hour (the time when the present world will end and the Hereafter begin), "When is it coming?"

Yas-aloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا

What have you to do with the mentioning of it [the time of the occurrence of the Hour]

Feema anta min thikraha

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا

With your Lord rests the final and only Authority to know when the Hour would happen

Ila rabbika muntahaha

إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا

You [Prophet] are but a warner for those who fear it [the Hour]

Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا

The Day they see it [the Hereafter], they will feel as if they had stayed for only one evening or one morning thereof.

Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
