| 79:1 | | By those who tear out violently |
| 79:2 | | And by those who gaily release |
| 79:3 | | And by those who float through the air |
| 79:4 | | And the preceders who precede |
| 79:5 | | And those who manage the affair |
| 79:6 | | On the day when the quaking quake |
| 79:7 | | which the following one shall succeed |
| 79:8 | | Hearts on that day shall tremble |
| 79:9 | | eyes thereon be humbled |
| 79:10 | | They say, 'Shall we be sent back to our old course? |
| 79:11 | | What! when we are rotten bones? |
| 79:12 | | they say, 'That then were a losing return! |
| 79:13 | | But it will only be one scare |
| 79:14 | | and lo! they will be on the surface |
| 79:15 | | Has the story of Moses come to you |
| 79:16 | | when his Lord addressed him in the holy valley of Tuva |
| 79:17 | | 'Go unto Pharaoh, verily, he is outrageous |
| 79:18 | | and say, "Hast thou a wish to purify thyself |
| 79:19 | | and that I may guide thee to thy Lord, and thou mayest fear?" |
| 79:20 | | So he showed him the greatest signs |
| 79:21 | | but he called him a liar and rebelled |
| 79:22 | | Then he retreated hastily |
| 79:23 | | and gathered, and proclaimed |
| 79:24 | | and said, 'I am your Lord most High! |
| 79:25 | | but God seized him with the punishment of the future life and of the former |
| 79:26 | | Verily, in that is a lesson to him who fears |
| 79:27 | | Are ye harder to create or the heaven that He has built |
| 79:28 | | He raised its height and fashioned it |
| 79:29 | | and made its night to cover it, and brought forth its noonday light |
| 79:30 | | and the earth after that He did stretch out |
| 79:31 | | He brings forth from it its water and its pasture |
| 79:32 | | And the mountains He did firmly set |
| 79:33 | | a provision for you and for your cattle |
| 79:34 | | And when the great predominant calamity shall come |
| 79:35 | | on the day when man shall remember what he strove after |
| 79:36 | | and hell shall be brought out for him who sees |
| 79:37 | | And as for him who was outrageou |
| 79:38 | | and preferred the life of this world |
| 79:39 | | verily, hell is the resort |
| 79:40 | | But as for him who feared the station of his Lord, and prohibited his soul from lust |
| 79:41 | | verily, Paradise is the resort |
| 79:42 | | They shall ask thee about the Hour, for when it is set |
| 79:43 | | Whereby canst thou mention it |
| 79:44 | | Unto thy Lord its period belongs |
| 79:45 | | Thou art only a warner to him who fears it |
| 79:46 | | On the day they see it, it will be as though they had only tarried an evening or the noon thereof |
