36. Ja Sin · verses 29–32

إِن كَانَتۡ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ فَإِذَا هُمۡ خَٰمِدُونَ

In kanat illa sayhatan wahidatan faitha hum khamidoona

It was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent.

يَٰحَسۡرَةً عَلَى ٱلۡعِبَادِۚ مَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

Ya hasratan AAala alAAibadi ma yateehim min rasoolin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

Ah! Alas for (My) Servants! There comes not a messenger to them but they mock him!

أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡ لَا يَرۡجِعُونَ

Alam yaraw kam ahlakna qablahum mina alqurooni annahum ilayhim la yarjiAAoona

See they not how many generations before them we destroyed? Not to them will they return:

وَإِن كُلّٞ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٞ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُونَ

Wain kullun lamma jameeAAun ladayna muhdaroona

But each one of them all - will be brought before Us (for judgment).
