77 - Surah Al-Mursalat المرسلات

By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

wal-mur'salāti ʿur'fan

And the winds that blow violently

fal-ʿāṣifāti ʿaṣfan

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

wal-nāshirāti nashran

And those [angels] who bring criterion

fal-fāriqāti farqan

And those [angels] who deliver a message

fal-mul'qiyāti dhik'ran

As justification or warning,

ʿudh'ran aw nudh'ran

Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

innamā tūʿadūna lawāqiʿun

So when the stars are obliterated

fa-idhā l-nujūmu ṭumisat

And when the heaven is opened

wa-idhā l-samāu furijat

And when the mountains are blown away

wa-idhā l-jibālu nusifat

And when the messengers' time has come...

wa-idhā l-rusulu uqqitat

For what Day was it postponed?

li-ayyi yawmin ujjilat

For the Day of Judgement.

liyawmi l-faṣli

And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

wamā adrāka mā yawmu l-faṣli

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

Did We not destroy the former peoples?

alam nuh'liki l-awalīna

Then We will follow them with the later ones.

thumma nut'biʿuhumu l-ākhirīna

Thus do We deal with the criminals.

kadhālika nafʿalu bil-muj'rimīna

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

alam nakhluqkkum min māin mahīnin

And We placed it in a firm lodging

fajaʿalnāhu fī qarārin makīnin

For a known extent.

ilā qadarin maʿlūmin

And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

faqadarnā faniʿ'ma l-qādirūna

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

Have We not made the earth a container

alam najʿali l-arḍa kifātan

Of the living and the dead?

aḥyāan wa-amwātan

And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water.

wajaʿalnā fīhā rawāsiya shāmikhātin wa-asqaynākum māan furātan

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

[They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny.

inṭaliqū ilā mā kuntum bihi tukadhibūna

Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns

inṭaliqū ilā ẓillin dhī thalāthi shuʿabin

[But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."

lā ẓalīlin walā yugh'nī mina l-lahabi

Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress,

innahā tarmī bishararin kal-qaṣri

As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

ka-annahu jimālatun ṣuf'run

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

This is a Day they will not speak,

hādhā yawmu lā yanṭiqūna

Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse.

walā yu'dhanu lahum fayaʿtadhirūna

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples.

hādhā yawmu l-faṣli jamaʿnākum wal-awalīna

So if you have a plan, then plan against Me.

fa-in kāna lakum kaydun fakīdūni

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs

inna l-mutaqīna fī ẓilālin waʿuyūnin

And fruits from whatever they desire,

wafawākiha mimmā yashtahūna

[Being told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."

kulū wa-ish'rabū hanīan bimā kuntum taʿmalūna

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

innā kadhālika najzī l-muḥ'sinīna

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

[O disbelievers], eat and enjoy yourselves a little; indeed, you are criminals.

kulū watamattaʿū qalīlan innakum muj'rimūna

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

And when it is said to them, "Bow [in prayer]," they do not bow.

wa-idhā qīla lahumu ir'kaʿū lā yarkaʿūna

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

Then in what statement after the Qur'an will they believe?

fabi-ayyi ḥadīthin baʿdahu yu'minūna
