Translation	Transliteration	Text
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.	Bis­mi-Allāh al-raḥ­mān al-raḥīm	بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
O you wrapped up in your mantle! (1)	Yā ayyuha l-­muddath­thir	يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ ﴿١﴾
Rise up and warn! (2)	Qum fa­andhir	قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ ﴿٢﴾
Magnify your Lord, (3)	Wa rabbaka fakabbir	وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ﴿٣﴾
and purify your cloak, (4)	Wa thiyābaka faṭah­hir	وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ﴿٤﴾
and keep away from all impurity! (5)	Warruj­za fah­jur	وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ ﴿٥﴾
Do not grant a favour seeking a greater gain, (6)	Wa lā tam­nun tas­tak­thir	وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ﴿٦﴾
and be patient for the sake of your Lord. (7)	Wa lirabbika faṣ­bir	وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ ﴿٧﴾
When the Trumpet will be sounded, (8)	Fa idhā nuqira finnāqūr	فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ ﴿٨﴾
that day will be a day of hardship, (9)	Fadhalika yawma'­idhiy yawmun 'asīr	فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ﴿٩﴾
not at all easy for the faithless. (10)	'ala l-­kāfirīna ghay­ru yasīr	عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ﴿١٠﴾
Leave Me [to deal] with him whom I created alone, (11)	Dhar­nī waman khalaq­tu waḥīdā	ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا ﴿١١﴾
and then furnished him with extensive means, (12)	Waja’al­tu lahū mālammam­dūdā	وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا ﴿١٢﴾
and] gave him [sons to be at his side, (13)	Wabanīna shuhūdā	وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا ﴿١٣﴾
and facilitated [all matters] for him. (14)	Wamah­had­tu lahū tam­hīdā	وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيدًا ﴿١٤﴾
Still he is eager that I should give him more. (15)	Thumma yaṭ­ma’u an azīd	ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ ﴿١٥﴾
No indeed! He is an obstinate opponent of Our signs. (16)	Kallāā innahū kāna liāāyātinā ‘anīdā	كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا ﴿١٦﴾
Soon I will overwhelm him with hardship. (17)	Sa­ur­hiquhū ṣa'ūdā	سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا ﴿١٧﴾
Indeed he reflected and decided. (18)	Innahū fakkara waqaddar	إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ﴿١٨﴾
Perish he, how he decided! (19)	Faqutila kay­fa qaddar	فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿١٩﴾
Again, perish he, how he decided! (20)	Thumma qutila kay­fa qaddar	ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿٢٠﴾
Then he looked; (21)	Thumma naẓar	ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ﴿٢١﴾
then he frowned and scowled. (22)	Thumma ‘abasa wabasar	ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ﴿٢٢﴾
Then he went away disdainfully, (23)	Thumma ad­bara was­tak­bar	ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ ﴿٢٣﴾
saying," It is nothing but magic handed down. (24)	Faqāla in hadhāā illā siḥ­ruyyu­thar	فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ ﴿٢٤﴾
It is nothing but the speech of a human being." (25)	In hadhāā illā qaw lul­bashar	إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ ﴿٢٥﴾
Soon I shall cast him into Saqar. (26)	Sa­uṣ­līhi saqar	سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ ﴿٢٦﴾
And what will show you what is Saqar? (27)	Wa māā ad­rāka mā saqar	وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ ﴿٢٧﴾
It neither spares nor leaves [anything]. (28)	Lā tub­qī wa lā tadhar	لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ ﴿٢٨﴾
It burns the skin. (29)	Law wāḥatullil­bashar	لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ ﴿٢٩﴾
There are nineteen [keepers] over it. (30)	‘alay­hā tis­’ata ‘ashar	عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ ﴿٣٠﴾
We have assigned only angels as keepers of the Fire, and We have made their number merely a stumbling block for the faithless, and that those given the Book may be reassured, and the faithful may increase in [their] faith, and that those given the Book may not doubt and the faithful [as well], and that those in whose hearts is a sickness may say, and the faithless [along with them]," What did Allah mean by this description?" Thus does Allah lead astray whomever He wishes, and guides whomever He wishes. No one knows the hosts of your Lord except Him, and it is just an admonition for all humans. (31)	Wa mā ja'al­nā aṣ­ḥāba l-nāri illā malā­ikataw wa mā ja'al­nā 'iddatahum illā fitnatan lil-ladhīna kafarū liyas­tay­qina l-ladhīna ūtul­kitāba wa yaz­dāda l-ladhīna āmanū īmānaw wa lā yar­tāba l-ladhīna ūtu l-­kitāba wa l-­mu­minūna wa liyaqūla l-ladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍuw wā l-­kāfirūna mādhā arāda Allāhu bihadhā mathalā Kadhalika yuḍillu Allāhu may yashāā­u wa yah­dī may yashā­ Wa mā ya'­lamu junūda rabbika illā huwa Wa mā hiya illā dhik­rā li-l-­bashar	وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيمَانًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّـهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّـهُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ ﴿٣١﴾
No indeed! By the Moon! (32)	Kallā wal­qamar	كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ ﴿٣٢﴾
By the night when it recedes! (33)	Wallay­li idh ad­bar	وَاللَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ ﴿٣٣﴾
By the dawn when it brightens! (34)	Waṣṣub­ḥi idhāā as­far	وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ ﴿٣٤﴾
Indeed it is one of the greatest [signs] (35)	Innahā la iḥ­dal­kubar	إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ ﴿٣٥﴾
a warner to all humans, (36)	Nadhīrallil­bashar	نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ ﴿٣٦﴾
[alike] for those of you who like to advance ahead and those who would linger behind. (37)	Limanshāā­a minkum ayyataqaddama aw yatākh­khar	لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ ﴿٣٧﴾
Every soul is hostage to what it has earned, (38)	Kullu naf­sim­bimā kasabat rahīnah	كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ ﴿٣٨﴾
except the People of the Right Hand. (39)	Illāā aṣ­ḥābal­yamīn	إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ ﴿٣٩﴾
[They will be] in gardens, questioning (40)	Fī jannātiyyatasāā­alūn	فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ﴿٤٠﴾
concerning the guilty: (41)	‘anil­muj­rimīn	عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٤١﴾
" What drew you into Hell?" (42)	Mā salakakum fī saqar	مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ ﴿٤٢﴾
They will answer," We were not among those who prayed. (43)	Qālū lam naku minal­muṣallīn	قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿٤٣﴾
Nor did we feed the poor. (44)	Walam naku nuṭ­’imul­mis­kīn	وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾
We used to gossip along with the gossipers, (45)	Wa kunnā nakhūḍu ma’al­khāā­iḍīn	وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾
and we used to deny the Day of Retribution, (46)	Wa kunnā nukadh­dhibu biyawmiddīn	وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ ﴿٤٦﴾
until death came to us." (47)	Ḥattā atānal­yaqīn	حَتَّىٰ أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ ﴿٤٧﴾
So the intercession of the intercessors will not avail them. (48)	Famā tanfa’uhum shafā’atush­shāfi’īn	فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ ﴿٤٨﴾
What is the matter with them that they evade the Reminder (49)	Famā lahum ‘anittadh­kirati mu’­riḍīn	فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ ﴿٤٩﴾
as if they were terrified asses (50)	Ka annahum ḥumurummus­tanfirah	كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ ﴿٥٠﴾
fleeing from a lion? (51)	Farrat min qas­warah	فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍ ﴿٥١﴾
Rather everyone of them desires to be given unrolled scriptures [from Allah]. (52)	Bal yurīdu kullu am­ri­im min­hum ayyu­tā ṣuḥufammunash­sharah	بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً ﴿٥٢﴾
No indeed! Rather they do not fear the Hereafter. (53)	Kallā ballā yakhāfūnal­āākhirah	كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ ﴿٥٣﴾
No indeed! It is indeed a reminder. (54)	Kallāā innahū tadh­kirah	كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ ﴿٥٤﴾
So let anyone who wishes remember it. (55)	Famanshāā­a dhakarah	فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ ﴿٥٥﴾
And they will not remember unless Allah wishes. He is worthy of [your] being wary [of Him] and He is worthy to forgive. (56)	Wa mā yadh­kurūna illāā ayyashāā­allāh Huwa ah­luttaq­wā wa ah­lul­magh­firah	وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّـهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ ﴿٥٦﴾
