حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ

Hikmatun balighatun fama tughnee alnnuthuru

Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ

Fatawalla AAanhum yawma yadAAu alddaAAi ila shayin nukurin

Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,

خُشَّعًا أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمۡ جَرَادٞ مُّنتَشِرٞ

KhushshaAAan absaruhum yakhrujoona mina alajdathi kaannahum jaradun muntashirun

They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,

مُّهۡطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِۖ يَقُولُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَسِرٞ

MuhtiAAeena ila alddaAAi yaqoolu alkafiroona hatha yawmun AAasirun

Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.

۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ فَكَذَّبُواْ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُواْ مَجۡنُونٞ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ

Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin fakaththaboo AAabdana waqaloo majnoonun waizdujira

Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَغۡلُوبٞ فَٱنتَصِرۡ

FadaAAa rabbahu annee maghloobun faintasir

Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"

فَفَتَحۡنَآ أَبۡوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٖ مُّنۡهَمِرٖ

Fafatahna abwaba alssamai bimain munhamirin

So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.

وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُيُونٗا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرٖ قَدۡ قُدِرَ

Wafajjarna alarda AAuyoonan failtaqa almao AAala amrin qad qudira

And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.

وَحَمَلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَٰحٖ وَدُسُرٖ

Wahamalnahu AAala thati alwahin wadusurin

But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:

تَجۡرِي بِأَعۡيُنِنَا جَزَآءٗ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ

Tajree biaAAyunina jazaan liman kana kufira

She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!

وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَٰهَآ ءَايَةٗ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ

Walaqad taraknaha ayatan fahal min muddakirin

And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?

فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ

Fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?

وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ

Walaqad yassarna alqurana lilththikri fahal min muddakirin

And We have indeed made the Qur´an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?

كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٞ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ

Kaththabat AAadun fakayfa kana AAathabee wanuthuri

The ´Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?

إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيحٗا صَرۡصَرٗا فِي يَوۡمِ نَحۡسٖ مُّسۡتَمِرّٖ

Inna arsalna AAalayhim reehan sarsaran fee yawmi nahsin mustamirrin

For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster,
