Bismillah hir rahman nir raheem
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ
Iqtarabatis Saa’atu wan shaqqal qamar
The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ
Wa iny yaraw aayatany yu’ridoo wa yaqooloo sihrun mustamirr
And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, “Passing magic.”
وَكَذَّبُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرٖ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ
Wa kazzaboo wattaba’ooo ahwaaa’ahum; wa kullu amrin mustaqirr
And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ
Wa laqad jaaa’ahum minal anbaaa’i maa feehi muzdajar
And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence –
حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ
Hikmatun baalighatun famaa tughnin nuzur
Extensive wisdom – but warning does not avail [them].
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ
Fatawalla ‘anhum; yawma yad’ud daa’i ilaa shai ‘in nukur
So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,
خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادٞ مُّنتَشِرٞ
Khushsha’an absaaruhum yakhrujoona minal ajdaasi ka annahum jaraadum muntashir
Their eyes humbled, they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,
مُّهۡطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ يَقُولُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَسِرٞ
Muhti’eena ilad daa’i yaqoolul kaafiroona haazaa yawmun ‘asir
Racing ahead toward the Caller. The disbelievers will say, “This is a difficult Day.”
۞كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ فَكَذَّبُواْ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُواْ مَجۡنُونٞ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ
Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohin fakazzaboo ‘abdanaa wa qaaloo majnoonunw wazdujir
The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied Our servant and said, “A madman,” and he was repelled.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَغۡلُوبٞ فَٱنتَصِرۡ
Fada’aa Rabbahooo annee maghloobun fantasir
So he invoked his Lord, “Indeed, I am overpowered, so help.”

Fafatahnaaa abwaabas samaaa’i bi maaa’in munhamir
Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down
وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُيُونٗا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرٖ قَدۡ قُدِرَ

تَجۡرِي بِأَعۡيُنِنَا جَزَآءٗ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
Tajree bi a’yuninaa jazaaa’an liman kaana kufir
Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.
وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَٰهَآ ءَايَةٗ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ

‘A ulqiyaz zikru ‘alaihi min baininaa bal huwa kazzaabun ashir

Sa-ya’lamoona ghadan manil kazzaabul ashir
They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar.
