A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ

Afabihatha alhadeethi antum mudhinoona

Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?

WatajAAaloona rizqakum annakum tukaththiboona

فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ

Falawla itha balaghati alhulqooma

Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat,-

وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ

Waantum heenaithin tanthuroona

And ye the while (sit) looking on,-

وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ

Then why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,-

تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

Faamma in kana mina almuqarrabeena

Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,

فَرَوۡحٞ وَرَيۡحَانٞ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٖ
