Qālū tilka iżan karratun khāsirah(tun).
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ ١٣
Fa innamā hiya zajratuw wāḥidah(tun).
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ١٤

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ١٥
Hal atāka ḥadīṡu mūsā.
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ١٦
Iż nādāhu rabbuhū bil-wādil-muqaddasi ṭuwā(n).
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā,
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ١٧
Iżhab ilā fir‘auna innahū ṭagā.
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٨
Fa qul hal laka ilā an tazakkā.
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ١٩
Wa ahdiyaka ilā rabbika fa takhsyā.
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٢٠
Fa arāhul-āyatal-kubrā.
And he showed him the greatest sign,
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ٢١
Fa każżaba wa ‘aṣā.
But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ٢٢
Ṡumma adbara yas‘ā.
Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣
Fa ḥasyara fanādā.
And he gathered [his people] and called out.
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤
Fa qāla ana rabbukumul-a‘lā.
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

Fa akhażahullāhu nakālal-ākhirati wal-ūlā.
So Allāh seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]..
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ٢٦
Inna fī żālika la‘ibratal limay yakhsyā.
Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ٢٧
A'antum asyaddu khalqan amis-samā'u banāhā.
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ٢٨
Rafa‘a samkahā fa sawwāhā.
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ٢٩
Wa agṭasya lailahā wa akhraja ḍuḥāhā.
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ٣٠
Wal-arḍa ba‘da żālika daḥāhā.
And after that He spread the earth.
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ٣١
Akhraja minhā mā'ahā wa mar‘āhā.
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ٣٢
Wal-jibāla arsāhā.
And the mountains He set firmly
مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ ٣٣
Matā‘al lakum wa li'an‘āmikum.
As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٣٤
Fa iżā jā'atiṭ-ṭāmmatul-kubrā.
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٥
Yauma yatażakkarul-insānu mā sa‘ā.
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ٣٦
Wa burrizatil-jaḥīmu limay yarā.
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ٣٧
Fa ammā man ṭagā.
So as for he who transgressed
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ٣٨
Wa āṡaral-ḥayātad-dun-yā.
And preferred the life of the world,
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٣٩
Fa innal-jaḥīma hiyal-ma'wā.
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ٤٠
Wa ammā man khāfa maqāma rabbihī wa nahan-nafsa ‘anil-hawā.
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٤١
Fa innal-jannata hiyal-ma'wā.
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ٤٢
Yas'alūnaka ‘anis-sā‘ati ayyāna mursāhā.
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ٤٣
Fīma anta min żikrāhā.
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ٤٤
Ilā rabbika muntahāhā.
To your Lord is its finality.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ٤٥
Innamā anta munżiru may yakhsyāhā.
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ٤٦
Ka'annahum yauma yaraunahā lam yalbaṡū illā ‘asyiyyatan au ḍuḥāhā.
It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
