70. Mearixh · verses 6–18

إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا

Innahum yarawnahu baAAeedan

They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا

Wanarahu qareeban

But We see it (quite) near.

يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ

Yawma takoonu alssamao kaalmuhli

The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ

Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni

And the mountains will be like wool,

وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمٗا

Wala yasalu hameemun hameeman

And no friend will ask after a friend,

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمۡۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُ لَوۡ يَفۡتَدِي مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِئِذِۭ بِبَنِيهِ

Yubassaroonahum yawaddu almujrimu law yaftadee min AAathabi yawmiithin bibaneehi

Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner´s desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ

Wasahibatihi waakheehi

His wife and his brother,

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي تُـٔۡوِيهِ

Wafaseelatihi allatee tuweehi

His kindred who sheltered him,

وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ

Waman fee alardi jameeAAan thumma yunjeehi

And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him:

كـَلَّآۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ

Kalla innaha latha

By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!-

نَزَّاعَةٗ لِّلشَّوَىٰ

NazzaAAatan lilshshawa

Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-

تَدۡعُواْ مَنۡ أَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

TadAAoo man adbara watawalla

Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right).

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰٓ

WajamaAAa faawAAa

And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!
