77. Murselat · verses 8–18

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ

Faitha alnnujoomu tumisat

Then when the stars become dim;

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتۡ

Waitha alssamao furijat

When the heaven is cleft asunder;

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ

Waitha aljibalu nusifat

When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ

Waitha alrrusulu oqqitat

And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-

لِأَيِّ يَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ

Liayyi yawmin ojjilat

For what Day are these (portents) deferred?

لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ

Liyawmi alfasli

For the Day of Sorting out.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ

Wama adraka ma yawmu alfasli

And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

أَلَمۡ نُهۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Alam nuhliki alawwaleena

Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?

ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Thumma nutbiAAuhumu alakhireena

So shall We make later (generations) follow them.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

Thus do We deal with men of sin.
