| 77:1 | | By the train of THE SENT ones |
| 77:2 | | And the swift in their swiftness |
| 77:3 | | By the scatterers who scatter |
| 77:4 | | And the distinguishers who distinguish |
| 77:5 | | And by those that give forth the wor |
| 77:6 | | To excuse or warn |
| 77:7 | | Verily that which ye are promised is imminent |
| 77:8 | | When the stars, therefore, shall be blotted out |
| 77:9 | | And when the heaven shall be cleft |
| 77:10 | | And when the mountains shall be scattered in dust |
| 77:11 | | And when the Apostles shall have a time assigned them |
| 77:12 | | Until what day shall that time be deferred |
| 77:13 | | To the day of severing |
| 77:14 | | And who shall teach thee what the day of severing is |
| 77:15 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:16 | | Have we not destroyed them of old |
| 77:17 | | We will next cause those of later times to follow them |
| 77:18 | | Thus deal we with the evil doers |
| 77:19 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:20 | | Have we not created you of a sorry germ |
| 77:21 | | Which we laid up in a secure place |
| 77:22 | | Till the term decreed for birth |
| 77:23 | | Such is our power! and, how powerful are We |
| 77:24 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:25 | | Have we not made the earth to hol |
| 77:26 | | The living and the dead |
| 77:27 | | And placed on it the tall firm mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water |
| 77:28 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:29 | | Begone to that Hell which ye called a lie: |
| 77:30 | | Begone to the shadows that lie in triple masses |
| 77:31 | | "But not against the flame shall they shade or help you:" |
| 77:32 | | The sparks which it casteth out are like towers |
| 77:33 | | Like tawny camels |
| 77:34 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:35 | | On that day they shall not speak |
| 77:36 | | Nor shall it be permitted them to allege excuses |
| 77:37 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:38 | | This is the day of severing, when we will assemble you and your ancestors |
| 77:39 | | If now ye have any craft try your craft on me |
| 77:40 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:41 | | But the god-fearing shall be placed amid shades and fountains |
| 77:42 | | And fruits, whatsoever they shall desire |
| 77:43 | | "Eat and drink, with health, as the meed of your toils." |
| 77:44 | | Thus recompense we the good |
| 77:45 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:46 | | "Eat ye and enjoy yourselves a little while. Verily, ye are doers of evil." |
| 77:47 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture |
| 77:48 | | For when it is said to them, bend the knee, they bend it not |
| 77:49 | | Woe on that day to those who charged with impostur |
| 77:50 | | In what other revelation after this will they believe |
