فَهَل تَرىٰ لَهُم مِن باقِيَةٍ

Can you see any remnants of them?

وَجاءَ فِرعَونُ وَمَن قَبلَهُ وَالمُؤتَفِكاتُ بِالخاطِئَةِ

Then came Pharaoh, those before him, and the Overturned Cities, all steeped in sin.

فَعَصَوا رَسولَ رَبِّهِم فَأَخَذَهُم أَخذَةً رابِيَةً

They all disobeyed their Lord’s messenger, and consequently, He seized them with a devastating seizure.

إِنّا لَمّا طَغَى الماءُ حَمَلناكُم فِي الجارِيَةِ

When the waters surged, We carried you in the Cruiser.

لِنَجعَلَها لَكُم تَذكِرَةً وَتَعِيَها أُذُنٌ واعِيَةٌ

That We might make it a lesson for you, and for heedful ears to retain.

وَحُمِلَتِ الأَرضُ وَالجِبالُ فَدُكَّتا دَكَّةً واحِدَةً

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and crushed with a single strike.

فَيَومَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ الواقِعَةُ

Then on that Day, the Great Event will happen.

وَانشَقَّتِ السَّماءُ فَهِيَ يَومَئِذٍ واهِيَةٌ

And the sky will split apart; on that Day, it will be unstable.

وَالمَلَكُ عَلىٰ أَرجائِها ۚ وَيَحمِلُ عَرشَ رَبِّكَ فَوقَهُم يَومَئِذٍ ثَمانِيَةٌ

And the angels will be on its sides, and that Day eight will bear the Throne of your Lord above them.

يَومَئِذٍ تُعرَضونَ لا تَخفىٰ مِنكُم خافِيَةٌ

On that Day, you will be exposed, not a single secret of yours will be hidden.
