by those who draw [it] out gently,

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا٣

by those who swim smoothly,

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا٤

фə ссəəбиќōōти сəбќō

by those who, racing, take the lead,

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٲتِ أَمْرًا٥

фəəльмудəббирōōти əмрō

by those who direct the affairs [of creatures]:

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ٦

йəумə тəрджуфу ррōōджифəh

the day when the Quaker quakes

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ٧

тəтбə'уhəə ррōōдифəh

and is followed by the Successor,

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ٨

ќулююбуй-йəумə'из̃иу-вəəджифəh

hearts will be trembling on that day,

أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ٩

əбсōōруhəə хōōши'əh

bearing a humbled look.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ١٠

йəќуулююнə əиннəə лəмəрдуудуунə фииль-həəфирōh

They will say, ‘Are we being returned to our earlier state?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً١١

əиз̃əə куннəə 'из̃ōōмəн-ннəхырōh

What, even after we have been decayed bones?!’

قَالُواْ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ١٢

ќōōлюю тилькə из̃əн кəррōтун хōōсирōh

They will say, ‘This is, then, a ruinous return!’

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٲحِدَةٌ١٣

фəиннəмəə hийə зəджрōтуу-вəəhидəh

Yet it will be only a single shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ١٤

фəиз̃əə hумм-бис-сəəhирōh

and behold, they will be awake.

هَلْ أَتَـٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ١٥

həль əтəəкə həдииc̃у муусəə

Did you receive the story of Moses,

إِذْ نَادَٮٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى١٦

из̃ нəəдəəhу рōббуhу биль-вəəдиль-муќōддəси т̣увəн

when his Lord called out to him in the holy valley of Tuwa?

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ١٧

из̃həб илəə фир'əунə иннəhу т̣ōґōō

[And said,] ‘Go to Pharaoh, for indeed he has rebelled,

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ١٨

фəќуль həль-лəкə илəə əӈ-тəзəккəə

and say, ‘‘Would you purify yourself?

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ١٩

вəəhдийəкə илəə рōббикə фəтəхшəə

I will guide you to your Lord, that you may fear [Him]?’’ ’

فَأَرَٮٰهُ ٱلْأَيَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ٢٠

фəəрōōhуль-'əəйəтəль-кубрōō

Then he showed him the greatest sign.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ٢١

фəкəз̃з̃əбə вə'əсōō

But he denied, and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ٢٢

c̃уммə əдбəрō йəс'əə

Then he turned back, walking swiftly,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ٢٣

фəhəшəрō фəнəəдəə

and gathered [the people] and proclaimed,

فَقَالَ أَنَا۟ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٢٤

фəќōōлə əнəə рōббукумуль-ə'лəə

saying, ‘I am your exalted lord!’

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ٢٥

фəəхōз̃əhу ллаhу нəкəəлəль-'əəхырōти вəəльуулəə

So Allah seized him with the punishment of this life and the Hereafter.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ٢٦

иннə фии з̃əəликə лə'ибрōтəл-лимəй-йəхшəə

There is indeed a moral in that for someone who fears!

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ‌ۚ بَنَـٰهَا٢٧

əəӈтум əшəдду хōльќōн əми ссəмəə', бəнəəhəə

Is your creation more prodigious or that of the heaven He has built?

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّٮٰهَا٢٨

рōфə'ə сəмкəhəə фəсəувəəhəə

He raised its vault and fashioned it,

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَـٰهَا٢٩

вəəґт̣ōшə лэйлəhəə вəəхрōджə дуhəəhəə

and darkened its night, and brought forth its forenoon.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٲلِكَ دَحَـٰهَآ٣٠

вəəльəрдō бə'дə з̃əəликə дəhəəhəə

Thereafter He spread out the earth,

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَـٰهَا٣١

əхрōджə минhəə мəə'əhəə вəмəр'əəhəə

brought forth from it its water and pastures,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَـٰهَا٣٢

вəəльджибəəлə əрсəəhəə

setting firm the mountains,

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ٣٣

мəтəə'əль-лəкум вəлиəн'əəмикум

as a [place of] sustenance for you and your livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ٣٤

фəиз̃əə джəə'əти т̣т̣ōōммəтуль-кубрōō

—the day when man will remember his endeavours

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ٣٦

вəбурризəтиль-джəhииму лимəй-йəрōō

and hell is brought into view for those who can see—

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ٣٧

фəəммəə мəӈ-т̣ōґōō

as for him who has been rebellious

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا٣٨

вə'əəc̃əрōль-həйəəтə ддунйəə

and preferred the life of this world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ٣٩

фəиннəль-джəhиимə hийəль-мəвəə

his refuge will indeed be hell.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ٤٠

вəəммəə мəн хōōфə мəќōōмə рōббиhи вəнəhəə ннəфсə 'əниль-həвəə

But as for him who is awed to stand before his Lord and restrains his soul from [following] desires,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ٤١

фəиннəль-джəннəтə hийəль-мəвəə

his refuge will indeed be paradise.

يَسْــَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَـٰهَا٤٢

йəсəлююнəкə 'əни ссəə'əти əййəəнə мурсəəhəə

They ask you concerning the Hour, “When will it set in,

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَٮٰهَآ٤٣

фиимə əӈтə миӈ-з̃икрōōhəə

considering your frequent mention of it?”

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَـٰهَآ٤٤

илəə рōббикə муӈтəhəəhəə

Its outcome is with your Lord.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَـٰهَا٤٥

иннəмəə əӈтə муӈз̃иру мəй-йəхшəəhəə

You are only a warner for those who are afraid it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَـٰهَا٤٦

кəəннəhум йəумə йəрōунəhəə лəм йəльбəc̃уу ильлəə 'əшиййəтəн əу дуhəəhəə

The day they see it, it shall be as if they had not stayed [in the world] except for an evening or forenoon.
