| | Wahiduddin Khan rendition of Surah Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out(an-Nazi`at)
--- |
|---|
| 79:1 | | By [the winds] that pluck out vehementl |
| 79:2 | | and those that blow gently |
| 79:3 | | and by [the clouds] that swim serenely an |
| 79:4 | | by those that outstrip them suddenly |
| 79:5 | | and by those who regulate events |
| 79:6 | | On the Day when a violent convulsion will convulse [the world] |
| 79:7 | | to be followed by further [convulsions] |
| 79:8 | | hearts will be throbbing |
| 79:9 | | while eyes will be downcast |
| 79:10 | | They say, What? shall we be brought back to life |
| 79:11 | | even after we have turned into decayed bones |
| 79:12 | | and they say, That indeed would be a losing return |
| 79:13 | | But all it will take is a single blast |
| 79:14 | | and behold! They will all come out in the open |
| 79:15 | | Have you heard the story of Moses |
| 79:16 | | His Lord called out to him by the sacred valley of Tuwa |
| 79:17 | | [saying], Go to Pharaoh, he has exceeded all bounds |
| 79:18 | | and say, Will you reform yourself |
| 79:19 | | Do you want me to guide you to your Lord, so that you should fear Him |
| 79:20 | | Moses showed him the great sign |
| 79:21 | | but he denied it and refused [the faith] |
| 79:22 | | Then he quickly turned his back |
| 79:23 | | And he summoned all his people |
| 79:24 | | and proclaimed, I am your supreme Lord |
| 79:25 | | but God seized him and meted out to him the chastisement of both the next world and the present |
| 79:26 | | surely there is in this a lesson for the God-fearing |
| 79:27 | | [O Men!] Are you more difficult to create than the heaven which He has built |
| 79:28 | | by raising its vault high and fashioning it flawlessly |
| 79:29 | | and making its night dark and bringing forth its morning light |
| 79:30 | | and the earth which He spread out |
| 79:31 | | after that bringing forth from it its water and its pasture land |
| 79:32 | | and making the mountains firm |
| 79:33 | | [all this] as a means of sustenance for you and your animals |
| 79:34 | | When the great overwhelming event arrives |
| 79:35 | | on the Day that man remembers what he strove fo |
| 79:36 | | and Hell is there for all to see |
| 79:37 | | anyone who has acted arrogantl |
| 79:38 | | and prefers the life of this world |
| 79:39 | | will find himself in Hell |
| 79:40 | | but one who fears to stand before his Lord and restrained himself from base desires |
| 79:41 | | shall dwell in Paradise |
| 79:42 | | They will ask you [Prophet] about the Hour, saying, When it will come to pass? |
| 79:43 | | what have you to do with the mentioning of it |
| 79:44 | | Your Lord alone knows when it will come |
| 79:45 | | you are but a warner for those who fear it |
| 79:46 | | On the Day when they see it, they will feel as if they had tarried in this world for only one evening or one morning |
