1. By the winds sent forth
one after another.

2. And by the winds
that blow violently,

3. And by the winds that
scatter clouds and rain;

4. And by the Verses that separate
the right from the wrong.

5. And by the angels that bring
the revelations to the Messengers,

6. To cut off all excuses and to warn;

7. Surely, what you are promised
must come to pass.

8. Then when the stars lose their lights;

9. And when the heaven is cleft asunder;

10. And when the mountains
are blown away;

11. And when the Messengers are
gathered to their time appointed;

12. For what Day are these signs postponed?

13. For the Day of sorting out.

14. And what will explain to you
what is the Day of sorting out?

15. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

16. Did We not destroy the ancients?

17. So shall We make later
generations to follow them.

18. Thus do We deal with the guilty!

19. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

20. Did We not create you
from a disliked fluid?

21. Then We placed it in
a place of safety (womb),

22. For a known period
(determined by gestation)?

23. So We did measure, and
We are the Best to measure.

24. Woe, on that Day, to those who
denied the truth!

25. Have We not made the earth
a receptacle?

26. For the living and the dead.

27. And have placed therein firm,
and tall mountains; and have given
you to drink sweet water?

28. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

29. They will be told,
‘Go to that which you used to deny!

30. "Depart you, to a shadow
(of Hell-fire rising) in three columns,

31. Neither shading, nor of any use
against the fierce flame of the Fire."

32. Verily! Hell throws sparks
as huge logs of wood,

33. As if they were burning
bundles of ropes.

34. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

35. That will be a Day when
they shall not speak,

36. And they will not be permitted
to put forth any excuse.

37. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

38. That will be a Day of Decision!
We have brought you and
the men of old together!

39. So if you have a plot,
use it against Me!

40. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

41. Verily, the pious -
shall be amidst shades and springs.

42. And fruits, such as they desire.

43. "Eat and drink comfortably
for that which you used to do.

44. Verily, thus We reward
the good-doers.

45. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

46. Eat and enjoy yourselves for
a little while. Verily, you are the guilty

47. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

48. When they are told, ‘Bow down in
prayer,’ they do not do so.

49. Woe, on that Day, to those
who denied the truth!

50. In what revelation, after this,
will they believe?
