And move [in their orbits] steadily.

Waalnnashitati nashtan

وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا

And float [through space] smoothly.

Waalssabihati sabhan

فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا

And yet some overtake [others] swiftly.

Thus they fulfill the [Creator's] purpose.

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

Hearts, that Day, will shiver,

Quloobun yawma-ithin wajifatun

أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ

and eyes are humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ

فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ

and they will be awake and above ground.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ

Has there the story of Moses reached you?

Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

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

Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

"Go to Pharaoh. For he has transgressed,

Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

and ask him, "Would you be willing to purify yourself?

Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

And I will guide you to your Lord so you would be in awe of Him.

Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ

And he showed him the greatest sign,

Faarahu al-ayata alkubra

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

but Pharaoh rejected the offer and disobeyed.

Fakaththaba waAAasa

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

Then he hastily turned away,

Thumma adbara yasAAa

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

and gathered [his people] and proclaimed,

Fahashara fanada

فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ

"I am your lord, the most high."

Faqala ana rabbukumu al-aAAla

فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ

So God seized him with punishment, as an example, in the life to come as well as in this life:

Faakhathahu Allahu nakala al-akhirati waal-oola</u

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

In this, there is a warning for whomever would fear [God].

Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

2 The Great Calamity

أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا

Are you more difficult to create or is the heaven that He built?

Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا

He raised it high and proportioned it.

RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا

He darkened its night and brought out its morning light.

Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا

After that He spread out the earth.

Waal-arda baAAda thalika dahaha

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا

From it, He produced its water and its pasture,

Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا

And He set the mountains firmly in place

Waaljibala arsaha

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

for you and for your animals to enjoy.

MataAAan lakum wali-anAAamikum

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ

But when the Great Calamity arrives,

Fa-itha jaati alttammatu alkubra

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ

a Day when the human being will remember what he has done,

Yawma yatathakkaru al-insanu ma saAAa

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

and Hell will be there for all to see,

Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

for him who transgressed

Faamma man tagha

وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

and preferred the life of this world,

Waathara alhayata alddunya

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

Hell will be his home.

Fa-inna aljaheema hiya alma/wa

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ

But as for him who feared to stand one day in front of his Lord and therefore restrained himself from following his whims and desires,

Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

then Heaven will be home.

Fa-inna aljannata hiya alma/wa

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا

They ask you about the Hour, "When will it take place?"

Yas-aloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا

How can you possibly know that?

Feema anta min thikraha

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا

Its time is only known to your Lord.

Ila rabbika muntahaha

إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا

You are only to warn those who dread it.

Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا

On the Day they see it, it will seem as though they only stayed an evening or a morning.

Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
