| 78:1 | | Whereof do they question one another |
| 78:2 | | (It is) of the awful tidings |
| 78:3 | | Concerning which they are in disagreement |
| 78:4 | | Nay, but they will come to know |
| 78:5 | | Nay, again, but they will come to know |
| 78:6 | | Have We not made the earth an expanse |
| 78:7 | | And the high hills bulwarks |
| 78:8 | | And We have created you in pairs |
| 78:9 | | And have appointed your sleep for repose |
| 78:10 | | And have appointed the night as a cloak |
| 78:11 | | And have appointed the day for livelihood |
| 78:12 | | And We have built above you seven strong (heavens) |
| 78:13 | | And have appointed a dazzling lamp |
| 78:14 | | And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water |
| 78:15 | | Thereby to produce grain and plant |
| 78:16 | | And gardens of thick foliage |
| 78:17 | | Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time |
| 78:18 | | A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes |
| 78:19 | | And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates |
| 78:20 | | And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage |
| 78:21 | | Lo! hell lurketh in ambush |
| 78:22 | | A home for the rebellious |
| 78:23 | | They will abide therein for ages |
| 78:24 | | Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drin |
| 78:25 | | Save boiling water and a paralysing cold |
| 78:26 | | Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds) |
| 78:27 | | For lo! they looked not for a reckoning |
| 78:28 | | They called Our revelations false with strong denial |
| 78:29 | | Everything have We recorded in a Book |
| 78:30 | | So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment |
| 78:31 | | Lo! for the duteous is achievement |
| 78:32 | | Gardens enclosed and vineyards |
| 78:33 | | And maidens for companion |
| 78:34 | | And a full cup |
| 78:35 | | There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying |
| 78:36 | | Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment |
| 78:37 | | Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse |
| 78:38 | | On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right |
| 78:39 | | That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord |
| 78:40 | | Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand, a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before, and the disbeliever will cry: "Would that I were dust!" |
