37. Safat · verses 13–23

وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ لَا يَذۡكُرُونَ

Waitha thukkiroo la yathkuroona

And, when they are admonished, pay no heed,-

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يَسۡتَسۡخِرُونَ

Waitha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona

And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery,

وَقَالُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٌ

Waqaloo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun

And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!

أَءِذَا مِتۡنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابٗا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ

Aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona

"What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ

Awaabaona alawwaloona

"And also our fathers of old?"

قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ

Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona

Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun faitha hum yanthuroona

Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!

وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni

They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Hatha yawmu alfasli allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

(A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!"

۞ ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ

Ohshuroo allatheena thalamoo waazwajahum wama kanoo yaAAbudoona

"Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong-doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped-

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Min dooni Allahi faihdoohum ila sirati aljaheemi

"Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!
