عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ

'Amma Yatasaa-aloon

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ

'Anin-nabaa-il 'azeem

About the great news -

الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ

Allazi hum feehi mukh talifoon

That over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Kallaa sa y'alamoon

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Thumma kallaa sa y'alamoon

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا

Alam naj'alil arda mihaa da

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

Wal jibaala au taada

And the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا

Wa khalaq naakum azwaaja

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا

Waja'alnan naumakum subata

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا

Waja'alnal laila libasa

And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا

Waja'alnan nahara ma 'aasha

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا

Wa banaina fauqakum sab 'an shi daada

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا

Waja'alna siraajaw wah haaja

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا

Wa anzalna minal m'usiraati maa-an saj-jaaja

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا

Linukh rija bihee habbaw wana baata

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا

Wa jan naatin alfafa

And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا

Inna yaumal-fasli kana miqaata

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا

Yauma yun fakhu fis-soori fataa toona afwaaja

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا

Wa futiha tis samaa-u fakaanat abwaaba

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا

Wa suyyi raatil jibaalu fa kaanat saraaba

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا

Inna jahan nama kaanat mirsaada

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا

Lit taa gheena ma aaba

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا

Laa bitheena feehaa ahqaaba

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا

Laa ya zooqoona feeha bar daw walaa sharaaba

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا

Illa hamee maw-wa ghas saaqa

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا

Jazaa-aw wi faaqa

An appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا

Innahum kaanu laa yarjoona hisaaba

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا

Wa kazzabu bi aayaa tina kizzaba

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا

Wa kulla shai-in ahsai naahu kitaa ba

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُوا فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا

Fa zooqoo falan-nazee dakum ill-laa azaaba

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."
