| 69:1 | | The reality |
| 69:2 | | What is the reality |
| 69:3 | | Absolutely, do you know what is the reality |
| 69:4 | | Thamud and 'Aad disbelieved in the Shocker |
| 69:5 | | As for Thamud, they were annihilated by the devastation. |
| 69:6 | | And as for 'Aad, they were annihilated by a furious violent wind. |
| 69:7 | | He unleashed it upon them for seven nights and eight days, in succession. You could see the people destroyed in it, as if they are decayed palm trunks |
| 69:8 | | Do you see any legacy for them |
| 69:9 | | And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the sinners, came with wrongdoing |
| 69:10 | | They disobeyed the messenger of their Lord. So He took them with a devastating requital |
| 69:11 | | And when the water flooded, We carried you on the vessel. |
| 69:12 | | That We would make it as a reminder for you, and so that any listening ear may understand |
| 69:13 | | And when the horn is blown once |
| 69:14 | | And the earth and the mountains will be removed from their place and crushed with a single crush |
| 69:15 | | On that Day the unavoidable event will come to pass |
| 69:16 | | And the sky will be torn, and on that Day it will be flimsy |
| 69:17 | | And the angels will be on its borders; and the Throne of your Lord will be carried, above them on that Day, by eight |
| 69:18 | | On that Day, you will be exposed, nothing from you can be hidden. |
| 69:19 | | As for the one who is given his record in his right, he will say: "Here, come and read my record!" |
| 69:20 | | "I knew that I was going to be held accountable. |
| 69:21 | | So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing. |
| 69:22 | | In a lofty Paradise. |
| 69:23 | | Its fruits are within reach. |
| 69:24 | | "Eat and drink merrily in return for your works in days past. |
| 69:25 | | As for him who is given his record in his left, he will say: "Oh, I wish I never received my record, |
| 69:26 | | "And that I never knew my account, |
| 69:27 | | "I wish the end had been final, |
| 69:28 | | "My money cannot help me, |
| 69:29 | | "All my power is gone." |
| 69:30 | | Take him and shackle him. |
| 69:31 | | Then to Hell cast him. |
| 69:32 | | Then, in a chain that is the length of seventy arms, tie him up. |
| 69:33 | | For he did not believe in God, the Great. |
| 69:34 | | Nor did he advocate the feeding of the poor. |
| 69:35 | | Consequently, he has no friend here today. |
| 69:36 | | Nor any food, except from pollutants. |
| 69:37 | | Food for the wrongdoers. |
| 69:38 | | So I do swear by what you see. |
| 69:39 | | And what you do not see |
| 69:40 | | This is the utterance of an honorable messenger. |
| 69:41 | | It is not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe |
| 69:42 | | Nor the utterance of a soothsayer; rarely do you take heed. |
| 69:43 | | A revelation from the Lord of the worlds. |
| 69:44 | | And had he attributed anything falsely to Us. |
| 69:45 | | We would have seized him by the right. |
| 69:46 | | Then, We would have severed his life-line |
| 69:47 | | None of you would be able to prevent it. |
| 69:48 | | And this is a reminder for the righteous. |
| 69:49 | | And We know that some of you are deniers |
| 69:50 | | And that it is a distress for the rejecters. |
| 69:51 | | And it is the absolute truth. |
| 69:52 | | Therefore, you shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great. |
