| | Arthur John Arberry rendition of Surah Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out(an-Nazi`at)
--- |
|---|
| 79:1 | | By those that pluck out vehementl |
| 79:2 | | and those that draw out violently |
| 79:3 | | by those that swim serenel |
| 79:4 | | and those that outstrip suddenl |
| 79:5 | | by those that direct an affair |
| 79:6 | | Upon the day when the first blast shiver |
| 79:7 | | and the second blast follows it |
| 79:8 | | hearts upon that day shall be athro |
| 79:9 | | and their eyes shall be humbled |
| 79:10 | | They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before |
| 79:11 | | What, when we are bones old and wasted? |
| 79:12 | | They shall say, 'That then were a losing return! |
| 79:13 | | But it shall be only a single scare |
| 79:14 | | and behold, they are awakened |
| 79:15 | | Hast thou received the story of Moses |
| 79:16 | | When his Lord called to him in the holy valley, Towa |
| 79:17 | | 'Go to Pharaoh; he has waxed insolent |
| 79:18 | | And say, "Hast thou the will to purify thyself |
| 79:19 | | and that I should guide thee to thy Lord, then thou shalt fear?" |
| 79:20 | | So he showed him the great sign |
| 79:21 | | but he cried lies, and rebelled |
| 79:22 | | then he turned away hastily |
| 79:23 | | then he mustere |
| 79:24 | | and proclaimed, and he said, 'I am your Lord, the Most High! |
| 79:25 | | So God seized him with the chastisement of the Last World and the First |
| 79:26 | | Surely in that is a lesson for him who fears |
| 79:27 | | What, are you stronger in constitution or the heaven He built |
| 79:28 | | He lifted up its vault, and levelled it |
| 79:29 | | and darkened its night, and brought forth its forenoon |
| 79:30 | | and the earth-after that He spread it out |
| 79:31 | | therefrom brought forth its waters and its pastures |
| 79:32 | | and the mountains He set firm |
| 79:33 | | an enjoyment for you and your flocks |
| 79:34 | | Then, when the Great Catastrophe come |
| 79:35 | | upon the day when man shall remember what he has striven |
| 79:36 | | and Hell is advanced for whoever sees |
| 79:37 | | then as for him who was insolen |
| 79:38 | | and preferred the present life |
| 79:39 | | surely Hell shall be the refuge |
| 79:40 | | But as for him who feared the Station of his Lord and forbade the soul its caprice |
| 79:41 | | surely Paradise shall be the refuge |
| 79:42 | | They will question thee concerning the Hour, when it shall berth |
| 79:43 | | What art thou about, to mention it |
| 79:44 | | Unto thy Lord is the final end of it |
| 79:45 | | Thou art only the warner of him who fears it |
| 79:46 | | It shall be as if; on the day they see it, they have but tarried for an evening, or its forenoon |
