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.
