[1] By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);
[2] Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
[3] And scatter (things) far and wide;
[4] Then separate them, one from another,
[5] Then spread abroad a Message,
[6] Whether of Justification or of Warning;-
[7] Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
[8] Then when the stars become dim;
[9] When the heaven is cleft asunder;
[10] When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
[11] And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
[12] For what Day are these (portents) deferred?
[13] For the Day of Sorting out.
[14] And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
[15] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[16] Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
[17] So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
[18] Thus do We deal with men of sin.
[19] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[20] Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-
[21] The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,
[22] For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?
[23] For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).
[24] Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!
[25] Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.
[26] The living and the dead,
[27] And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
[28] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[29] (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
[30] "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,
[31] "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
[32] "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,
[33] "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
[34] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[35] That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.
[36] Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
[37] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[38] That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!
[39] Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!
[40] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[41] As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
[42] And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.
[43] "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).
[44] Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.
[45] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[46] (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.
[47] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[48] And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.
[49] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[50] Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
