74:1  O you enveloped in your cloak

74:2  Arise and warn

74:3  And magnify your Lord

74:4  And your cloak do purify

74:5  And uncleanness do shun

74:6  And bestow not favours that you may receive again with increase

74:7  And for the sake of your Lord, be patient

74:8  For when the trumpet is sounded

74:9  That, at that time, shall be a Day of distress

74:10  Far from easy for the unbelievers

74:11  Leave Me alone to deal with him whom I created

74:12  And gave vast riches

74:13  And sons to be by his side

74:14  And I adjusted the affairs of life to go smoothly and appropriately for him

74:15  And yet he desires that I should add more

74:16  By no means! For lo! He stubbornly opposes Our revelations

74:17  Will impose on him a fearful doom

74:18  Surely he reflected and then plotted

74:19  But woe to him for how he plotted

74:20  Again, woe to him for how he plotted

74:21  Then he looked around

74:22  Then he frowned and scowled

74:23  Then he turned back and was inflated with pride

74:24  Then he said, "This is naught but enchantment, narrated of olden days

74:25  "This is naught but the word of a mortal."

74:26  Soon will I cast him into the burning (Hell-fire)

74:27  And what will make you understand what the burning (Hell-fire) is

74:28  It leaves naught, it spares naught

74:29  It scorches (darkens the colour) and shrivels the mortal

74:30  Over it are nineteen

74:31  And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the Book (scriptures) may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, a

74:32  Nay; I swear by (or call to witness) the moon

74:33  And by the night when it departs

74:34  And by the Dawn when it shines forth

74:35  Surely, this is but one of the mighty Signs

74:36  A warning to mortals

74:37  To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind

74:38  Every soul is held in pledge for its own deeds

74:39  Except the people of the right hand

74:40  In Gardens, they shall ask each othe

74:41  And ask the guilty

74:42  "What has brought you into hell?"

74:43  They shall say, "We were not of those who prayed

74:44  "And we used not to feed the poor

74:45  "And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses

74:46  "And we used to call the Day of Judgment a lie

74:47  "Till the inevitable event (death) overtook us."

74:48  The intercession of no mediators shall avail them then

74:49  What is then the matter with them that they turn away from the admonition

74:50  As if they were frightened asse

74:51  Fleeing from a lion

74:52  Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out (or open)

74:53  Nay! But they do not fear the Hereafter

74:54  Nay! This surely is an admonition

74:55  Let any who will, pay heed (or remember)

74:56  But none will remember (or heed) unless Allah wills. He is the source of fear (or righteousness) and the source of Mercy
