وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ
غَرۡقٗا
١

By those ˹angels˺ stripping out ˹evil souls˺ harshly,
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ
نَشۡطٗا
٢
and those pulling out ˹good souls˺ gently,
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ
سَبۡحٗا
٣
and those gliding ˹through heavens˺ swiftly,
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ
سَبۡقٗا
٤
and those taking the lead vigorously,
فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَٰتِ
أَمۡرٗا
٥
and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺!
يَوۡمَ
تَرۡجُفُ
ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
٦
˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the quaking Blast will come to pass,1
تَتۡبَعُهَا
ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
٧
followed by a second Blast.
قُلُوبٞ
يَوۡمَئِذٖ
وَاجِفَةٌ
٨
˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺,
أَبۡصَٰرُهَا
خَٰشِعَةٞ
٩
with their eyes downcast.
يَقُولُونَ
أَءِنَّا
لَمَرۡدُودُونَ
فِي
ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ
١٠
˹But now˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “Will we really be restored to our former state,
أَءِذَا
كُنَّا
عِظَٰمٗا
نَّخِرَةٗ
١١
even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”
قَالُواْ
تِلۡكَ
إِذٗا
كَرَّةٌ
خَاسِرَةٞ
١٢
Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”
فَإِنَّمَا
هِيَ
زَجۡرَةٞ
وَٰحِدَةٞ
١٣
But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast,
فَإِذَا
هُم
بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
١٤
and at once they will be above ground.
هَلۡ
أَتَىٰكَ
حَدِيثُ
مُوسَىٰٓ
١٥
Has the story of Moses reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
