بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ اقتَرَبَتِ السّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ القَمَرُ
The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split.
وَإِن يَرَوا آيَةً يُعرِضوا وَيَقولوا سِحرٌ مُستَمِرٌّ
Yet, when they witness a sign, they turn away and say, “Continuous magic.”
وَكَذَّبوا وَاتَّبَعوا أَهواءَهُم ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمرٍ مُستَقِرٌّ
They deny and follow their whims, but all matters will be settled.
وَلَقَد جاءَهُم مِنَ الأَنباءِ ما فيهِ مُزدَجَرٌ
Numerous warnings have come to them, with messages of deterrence.
حِكمَةٌ بالِغَةٌ ۖ فَما تُغنِ النُّذُرُ
Profound wisdom, but the warnings are of no avail.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنهُم ۘ يَومَ يَدعُ الدّاعِ إِلىٰ شَيءٍ نُكُرٍ
So, withdraw from them. The Day the Caller calls to a terrible thing.
خُشَّعًا أَبصارُهُم يَخرُجونَ مِنَ الأَجداثِ كَأَنَّهُم جَرادٌ مُنتَشِرٌ
Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves, as if they were locusts spreading.
مُهطِعينَ إِلَى الدّاعِ ۖ يَقولُ الكافِرونَ هـٰذا يَومٌ عَسِرٌ
Rushing towards the Caller. The unbelievers will say, “This is a difficult day.”
كَذَّبَت قَبلَهُم قَومُ نوحٍ فَكَذَّبوا عَبدَنا وَقالوا مَجنونٌ وَازدُجِرَ
The people of Noah denied before them. They denied Our servant and said, “A madman,” and he was rebuked.
فَدَعا رَبَّهُ أَنّي مَغلوبٌ فَانتَصِر
So, he appealed to his Lord: “I am defeated, so help!”
فَفَتَحنا أَبوابَ السَّماءِ بِماءٍ مُنهَمِرٍ
Then We opened the doors of the sky with pouring water.
