| | Hamid S. Aziz rendition of Surah The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth(al-Mursalat)
--- |
|---|
| 77:1 | | I swear by (or call to witness) the emissary winds sent one after another for men´s benefit |
| 77:2 | | By the raging hurricanes |
| 77:3 | | Which scatter things far and wide |
| 77:4 | | And separate things one from another |
| 77:5 | | Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation (or message) |
| 77:6 | | To clarify or to warn |
| 77:7 | | Most surely what you are promised must come to pass |
| 77:8 | | So when the stars are made dim |
| 77:9 | | And when the heaven is rent asunder |
| 77:10 | | And when the mountains are carried away as dust |
| 77:11 | | And when the messengers are gathered at their appointed tim |
| 77:12 | | To what Day are these signs appointed |
| 77:13 | | To the Day of Decision |
| 77:14 | | And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is |
| 77:15 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:16 | | Did We not destroy the former generations |
| 77:17 | | Then did We follow them up with later ones |
| 77:18 | | Even thus shall We deal with the guilty |
| 77:19 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:20 | | Did We not create you from a fluid regarded contemptible |
| 77:21 | | Which We laid in a safe abode (the womb) |
| 77:22 | | Till an appointed term |
| 77:23 | | Thus We arrange things - how well are We at arranging things |
| 77:24 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:25 | | Have We not made the earth draw together to itself |
| 77:26 | | The living and the dead |
| 77:27 | | And placed therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink sweet water from them |
| 77:28 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:29 | | Go on to that which you used to deny! |
| 77:30 | | Go on to the smoke with three branches (or three fold shadow) |
| 77:31 | | Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame |
| 77:32 | | Surely it sends up sparks like palaces |
| 77:33 | | As if they were tawny camels |
| 77:34 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:35 | | This is the day on which they shall not speak |
| 77:36 | | Nor are they permitted to make excuses (or pleas) |
| 77:37 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:38 | | This is the Day of Decision: We have gathered you and those of yore |
| 77:39 | | So if you have a plan, plan against Me now |
| 77:40 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:41 | | Surely those who guard against evil shall be amid shades and fountains |
| 77:42 | | And fruits such as they desire |
| 77:43 | | Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did |
| 77:44 | | Surely thus do We reward the doers of good |
| 77:45 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:46 | | Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty |
| 77:47 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:48 | | And when it is said to them, "Bow down (in humility), they bow not |
| 77:49 | | Woe on that day to the rejecters |
| 77:50 | | In what announcement, then, after this, will they believe |
