وَاَنَّهٗ خَلَقَ الزَّوۡجَيۡنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالۡاُنۡثٰيۙ‏

And that He creates the two mates - the male and female

مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍ اِذَا تُمۡنٰيࣕ‏

From a sperm-drop when it is emitted

وَاَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ النَّشۡاَةَ الۡاُخۡرٰيۙ‏

And that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation

وَاَنَّهٗ هُوَ اَغۡنٰي وَاَقۡنٰيۙ‏

And that it is He who enriches and suffices

وَاَنَّهٗ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعۡرٰيۙ‏

And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius

وَاَنَّهٗ٘ اَهۡلَكَ عَادَا اِۨلۡاُوۡلٰيۙ‏

And that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad

وَثَمُوۡدَا۠ فَمَا٘ اَبۡقٰيۙ‏

And Thamud - and He did not spare [them]

وَقَوۡمَ نُوۡحٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلُؕ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا هُمۡ اَظۡلَمَ وَاَطۡغٰيؕ‏

And the people of Noah before. Indeed, it was they who were [even] more unjust and oppressing

وَالۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ اَهۡوٰيۙ‏

And the overturned towns He hurled down

فَغَشّٰىهَا مَا غَشّٰيۚ‏

And covered them by that which He covered

فَبِاَيِّ اٰلَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارٰي

Then which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt

هٰذَا نَذِيۡرٌ مِّنَ النُّذُرِ الۡاُوۡلٰي

This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners

اَزِفَتِ الۡاٰزِفَةُۚ‏

The Approaching Day has approached

لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ كَاشِفَةٌؕ‏

Of it, [from those] besides Allah, there is no remover

اَفَمِنۡ هٰذَا الۡحَدِيۡثِ تَعۡجَبُوۡنَۙ‏

Then at this statement do you wonder

وَتَضۡحَكُوۡنَ وَلَا تَبۡكُوۡنَۙ‏

And you laugh and do not weep

وَاَنۡتُمۡ سٰمِدُوۡنَ

While you are proudly sporting

فَاسۡجُدُوۡا لِلّٰهِ وَاعۡبُدُوۡاࣛࣖ‏

So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]

اِقۡتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانۡشَقَّ الۡقَمَرُ

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]

وَاِنۡ يَّرَوۡا اٰيَةً يُّعۡرِضُوۡا وَيَقُوۡلُوۡا سِحۡرٌ مُّسۡتَمِرٌّ

And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic

وَكَذَّبُوۡا وَاتَّبَعُوۡ٘ا اَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ وَكُلُّ اَمۡرٍ مُّسۡتَقِرٌّ

And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاَنۭۡ بَآءِ مَا فِيۡهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌۙ‏

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence

حِكۡمَةٌۭ بَالِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغۡنِ النُّذُرُۙ‏

Extensive wisdom - but warning does not avail [them]

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ الدَّاعِ اِلٰي شَيۡءٍ نُّكُرٍۙ‏

So leave them, [O Muhammad]. The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding
