Surah Al Mursalat

وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَـٰتِ عُرۡفً۬ا

By the (Winds) Sent Forth one after another (to man's profit);

فَٱلۡعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصۡفً۬ا

Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,

وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَٲتِ نَشۡرً۬ا

And scatter (things) far and wide;

فَٱلۡفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرۡقً۬ا

Then separate them, one from another,

فَٱلۡمُلۡقِيَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا

Then spread abroad a Message,

عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا

Whether of Justification or of Warning --

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٲقِعٌ۬

Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ

Then when the stars become dim;

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتۡ

When the heaven is cleft asunder;

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ

When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ

And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect) --

لِأَىِّ يَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ

For what Day are these (Portents) deferred?

لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ

For the Day of Sorting out.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَٮٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ

And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

أَلَمۡ نُہۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?

ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأَخِرِينَ

So shall We make later (generations) follow them.

كَذَٲلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Thus do We deal with men of sin.

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

أَلَمۡ نَخۡلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ۬ مَّهِينٍ۬

Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable? --

فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍ۬ مَّكِينٍ

The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed.

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ۬ مَّعۡلُومٍ۬

For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?

فَقَدَرۡنَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡقَـٰدِرُونَ

For We do determine (according to need); for We are the Best to determine (things)!

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ كِفَاتًا

Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together

أَحۡيَآءً۬ وَأَمۡوَٲتً۬ا

The living and the dead,

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيہَا رَوَٲسِىَ شَـٰمِخَـٰتٍ۬ وَأَسۡقَيۡنَـٰكُم مَّآءً۬ فُرَاتً۬ا

And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ۬ ذِى ثَلَـٰثِ شُعَبٍ۬

"Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,

لَّا ظَلِيلٍ۬ وَلَا يُغۡنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ

"(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.

إِنَّہَا تَرۡمِى بِشَرَرٍ۬ كَٱلۡقَصۡرِ

"Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,

كَأَنَّهُ ۥ جِمَـٰلَتٌ۬ صُفۡرٌ۬

"As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

هَـٰذَا يَوۡمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ

That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak,

وَلَا يُؤۡذَنُ لَهُمۡ فَيَعۡتَذِرُونَ

Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

هَـٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ‌ۖجَمَعۡنَـٰكُمۡ وَٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall Gather you together and those before (you)!

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمۡ كَيۡدٌ۬ فَكِيدُونِ

Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ۬ وَعُيُونٍ۬

As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).

وَفَوَٲكِهَ مِمَّا يَشۡتَہُونَ

 And (they shall have) fruits, all they desire.

كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيٓـَٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

"Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness)."

إِنَّا كَذَٲلِكَ نَجۡزِى ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

كُلُواْ وَتَمَتَّعُواْ قَلِيلاً إِنَّكُم مُّجۡرِمُونَ

(O ye Unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرۡكَعُواْ لَا يَرۡكَعُونَ

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" They do not so.

وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of truth!

فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعۡدَهُ ۥ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
