| 78:1 | | Of what do they ask each other? |
| 78:2 | | Of the mighty informatio |
| 78:3 | | whereon they do dispute |
| 78:4 | | nay, they shall know too well |
| 78:5 | | Again, nay, they shall know too well |
| 78:6 | | Have we not set the earth as a couch |
| 78:7 | | and the mountains as stakes |
| 78:8 | | and created you in pairs |
| 78:9 | | and made your sleep for rest |
| 78:10 | | and made the night a garment |
| 78:11 | | and made the day for livelihood |
| 78:12 | | and built above you seven solid (heavens |
| 78:13 | | and set a burning lamp |
| 78:14 | | and, sent down from the rain-expressing clouds water pouring forth |
| 78:15 | | to bring out thereby the grain and her |
| 78:16 | | and gardens thickly planted |
| 78:17 | | Verily, the day of decision is an appointed time |
| 78:18 | | and the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and ye shall come in troops |
| 78:19 | | and the heavens shall be opened, and shall be all doors |
| 78:20 | | and the mountains shall be moved, and shall be like a mirage |
| 78:21 | | Verily, hell is an ambuscade |
| 78:22 | | a reward for the outrageous |
| 78:23 | | to tarry therein for ages |
| 78:24 | | They shall not taste therein cool nor drink |
| 78:25 | | but only boiling water and pus; |
| 78:26 | | a fit reward |
| 78:27 | | Verily, they did not hope for the account |
| 78:28 | | but they ever said our signs were lies |
| 78:29 | | Everything have we remembered in a book |
| 78:30 | | 'Then taste, for we will only increase your torment! |
| 78:31 | | Verily, for the pious is a blissful place, |
| 78:32 | | gardens and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | and girls with swelling breasts of the same age as themselves |
| 78:34 | | and a brimming cup |
| 78:35 | | they shall hear therein no folly and no lie; |
| 78:36 | | a reward from thy Lord, a sufficient gift |
| 78:37 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and what is between them both,- the Merciful,- they cannot obtain audience of Him |
| 78:38 | | The day when the Spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks, they shall not speak save to whom the Merciful permits, and who speaks aright |
| 78:39 | | That is the true day; and whoso pleases let him take to a resort unto his Lord |
| 78:40 | | Verily, we have warned you of a torment that is nigh: on a day when man shall see what his two hands have sent forward; and the misbeliever shall say, 'Would that I were dust! |
