اَبۡصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌۘ ٩
79:9While eyes are downcast
يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرۡدُوۡدُوۡنَ فِى الۡحَـافِرَةِؕ ١٠
79:10(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةًؕ ١١
79:11Even after we are crumbled bones?
قَالُوۡا تِلۡكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۘ ١٢
79:12They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
فَاِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجۡرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌۙ ١٣
79:13Surely it will need but one shout,
فَاِذَا هُمۡ بِالسَّاهِرَةِؕ ١٤
79:14And lo! they will be awakened.
هَلۡ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيۡثُ مُوۡسٰىۘ ١٥
79:15Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses?
اِذۡ نَادٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالۡوَادِ الۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًىۚ ١٦
79:16How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,
اِذۡهَبۡ اِلٰى فِرۡعَوۡنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰىۖ ١٧
79:17(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -
فَقُلۡ هَلۡ لَّكَ اِلٰٓى اَنۡ تَزَكّٰىۙ ١٨
79:18And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)?
وَاَهۡدِيَكَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشٰىۚ ١٩
79:19Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).
فَاَرٰٮهُ الۡاٰيَةَ الۡكُبۡرٰىۖ ٢٠
79:20And he showed him the tremendous token.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰىۖ ٢١
79:21But he denied and disobeyed,
ثُمَّ اَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعٰىۖ ٢٢
79:22Then turned he away in haste,
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادٰىۖ ٢٣
79:23Then gathered he and summoned
فَقَالَ اَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الۡاَعۡلٰىۖ ٢٤
79:24And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."
فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَڪَالَ الۡاٰخِرَةِ وَالۡاُوۡلٰىؕ ٢٥
79:25So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.
اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَعِبۡرَةً لِّمَنۡ يَّخۡشٰىؕ ٢٦
79:26Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.
ءَاَنۡتُمۡ اَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا اَمِ السَّمَآءُؕ بَنٰٮهَا ٢٧
79:27Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built?
رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوّٰٮهَاۙ ٢٨
79:28He raised the height thereof and ordered it;
وَ اَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَاَخۡرَجَ ضُحٰٮهَا ٢٩
79:29And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
وَالۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذٰ لِكَ دَحٰٮهَاؕ ٣٠
79:30And after that He spread the earth,
اَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعٰٮهَا ٣١
79:31And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,
وَالۡجِبَالَ اَرۡسٰٮهَاۙ ٣٢
79:32And He made fast the hills,
مَتَاعًا لَّـكُمۡ وَلِاَنۡعَامِكُمۡؕ ٣٣
79:33A provision for you and for your cattle.
فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّةُ الۡكُبۡرٰىۖ ٣٤
79:34But when the great disaster cometh,
يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَا سَعٰىۙ ٣٥
79:35The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,
وَبُرِّزَتِ الۡجَحِيۡمُ لِمَنۡ يَّرٰى ٣٦
79:36And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,
فَاَمَّا مَنۡ طَغٰىۙ ٣٧
79:37Then, as for him who rebelled
وَاٰثَرَ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَاۙ ٣٨
79:38And chose the life of the world,
