74. Mudethir · verses 9–22

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَوۡمٌ عَسِيرٌ

Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

That will be- that Day - a Day of Distress,-

عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ غَيۡرُ يَسِيرٖ

AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

Far from easy for those without Faith.

ذَرۡنِي وَمَنۡ خَلَقۡتُ وَحِيدٗا

Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!-

وَجَعَلۡتُ لَهُۥ مَالٗا مَّمۡدُودٗا

WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

To whom I granted resources in abundance,

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودٗا

Wabaneena shuhoodan

And sons to be by his side!-

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمۡهِيدٗا

Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!

ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ أَنۡ أَزِيدَ

Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet more);-

كـَلَّآۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيدٗا

Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!

سَأُرۡهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا

Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

Innahu fakkara waqaddara

For he thought and he plotted;-

فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ

Faqutila kayfa qaddara

And woe to him! How he plotted!-

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ

Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!-

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

Thumma nathara

Then he looked round;

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

Thumma AAabasa wabasara

Then he frowned and he scowled;
