[1] I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
[2] By the raging hurricanes,
[3] Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
[4] Then separate them one from another,
[5] Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
[6] To clear or to warn.
[7] Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.
[8] So when the stars are made to lose their light,
[9] And when the heaven is rent asunder,
[10] And when the mountains are carried away as dust,
[11] And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time
[12] To what day is the doom fixed?
[13] To the day of decision.
[14] And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?
[15] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[16] Did We not destroy the former generations?
[17] Then did We follow them up with later ones.
[18] Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.
[19] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[20] Did We not create you from contemptible water?
[21] Then We placed it in a secure resting-place,
[22] Till an appointed term,
[23] So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things).
[24] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[25] Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself,
[26] The living and the dead,
[27] And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water?
[28] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[29] Walk on to that which you called a lie.
[30] Walk on to the covering having three branches,
[31] Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame.
[32] Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,
[33] As if they were tawny camels.
[34] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[35] This is the day on which they shall not speak,
[36] And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses.
[37] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[38] This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore.
[39] So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).
[40] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[41] Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains,
[42] And fruits such as they desire.
[43] Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.
[44] Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.
[45] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[46] Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty.
[47] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[48] And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down.
[49] Woe on that day to the rejecters.
[50] In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe?
