1. 69:1

   اَلْحَاۤقَّةُۙ

   Al-haaqqat(u)

   The indubitable event!

2. 69:2

   مَا الْحَاۤقَّةُ ۚ

   Maal haaqqat(u)

   And what is that indubitable event?

3. 69:3

   وَمَآ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا الْحَاۤقَّةُ ۗ

   Wamaa adraaka maal haaqqat(u)

   And what do you know what that indubitable event is?

4. 69:4

   كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ وَعَادٌ ۢبِالْقَارِعَةِ

   Kadz-dzabat tsamuudu wa'aadun bil qaari'at(i)

   The Thamud and the Ad denied the (possibility of a) sudden calamity, calling it false.

5. 69:5

   فَاَمَّا ثَمُوْدُ فَاُهْلِكُوْا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ

   Fa-ammaa tsamuudu fauhlikuu bith-thaaghiyat(i)

   Then the Thamud were destroyed by an awesome upheaval;

6. 69:6

   وَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاُهْلِكُوْا بِرِيْحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۙ

   Wa-ammaa 'aadun fauhlikuu biriihin sharsharin 'aatiyatin

   and the Ad were destroyed by a furiously raging wind-storm

7. 69:7

   سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَّثَمٰنِيَةَ اَيَّامٍۙ حُسُوْمًا فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِيْهَا صَرْعٰىۙ كَاَنَّهُمْ اَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۚ

   Sakh-kharahaa 'alaihim sab'a layaalin watsamaaniyata ai-yaamin husuuman fataral qauma fiihaa shar'a kaannahum a'jaazu nakhlin khaawiyatin

   which He let loose upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession; so that (if you had been there) you might have seen people lying prostrate, as though they were uprooted trunks of hollowed palm trees.

8. 69:8

   فَهَلْ تَرٰى لَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَاقِيَةٍ

   Fahal tara lahum min baaqiyatin

   Do you now see any trace of them?

9. 69:9

   وَجَاۤءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَنْ قَبْلَهٗ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكٰتُ بِالْخَاطِئَةِۚ

   Wajaa-a fir'aunu waman qablahu wal mu'tafikaatu bil khaathi-at(i)

   Pharaoh and those before him and the people of the overturned habitations all engaged in the same great sin.

10. 69:10

    فَعَصَوْا رَسُوْلَ رَبِّهِمْ فَاَخَذَهُمْ اَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً

    Fa'ashau rasuula rabbihim fa-akhadzahum akhdzatan raabiyatan

    They did not follow the Messenger of their Lord, and so He seized them with a severe grip.

11. 69:11

    اِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا الْمَاۤءُ حَمَلْنٰكُمْ فِى الْجَارِيَةِۙ

    Innaa lammaa thaghal ma-au hamalnaakum fiil jaariyat(i)

    Verily when the water rose to great heights, We bore you upon a floating vessel (i.e. the Ark)

12. 69:12

    لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَّتَعِيَهَآ اُذُنٌ وَّاعِيَةٌ

    Linaj'alahaa lakum tadzkiratan wata'iyahaa udzunun waa'iyatun

    so that We might make it an instructive event for you, and retentive ears might preserve its memory.

13. 69:13

    فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِى الصُّوْرِ نَفْخَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۙ

    Fa-idzaa nufikha fiish-shuuri nafkhatun waahidatun

    So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast

14. 69:14

    وَّحُمِلَتِ الْاَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَّاحِدَةًۙ

    Wahumilatil ardhu wal jibaalu fadukkataa dakkatan waahidatan

    and the earth and the mountains are carried aloft and are crushed to bits at one stroke,

15. 69:15

    فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُۙ

    Fayauma-idzin waqa'atil waaqi'at(u)

    on that Day shall that indubitable event come to pass;

16. 69:16

    وَانْشَقَّتِ السَّمَاۤءُ فَهِيَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّاهِيَةٌۙ

    Waansyaqqatissamaa-u fahiya yauma-idzin waahiyatun

    when the sky will be rent asunder, the grip holding it together having loosened on that Day,

17. 69:17

    وَّالْمَلَكُ عَلٰٓى اَرْجَاۤىِٕهَاۗ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ ثَمٰنِيَةٌ ۗ

    Wal malaku 'ala arjaa-ihaa wayahmilu 'arsya rabbika fauqahum yauma-idzin tsamaaniyatun

    and the angels will stand on the sides, with eight of them bearing aloft the Throne of your Lord on that Day.

18. 69:18

    يَوْمَىِٕذٍ تُعْرَضُوْنَ لَا تَخْفٰى مِنْكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ

    Yauma-idzin tu'radhuuna laa takhfa minkum khaafiyatun

    That will be the Day when you shall be brought forth (before Allah) and no secret of yours shall remain hidden.

19. 69:19

    فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ فَيَقُوْلُ هَاۤؤُمُ اقْرَءُوْا كِتٰبِيَهْۚ

    Fa-ammaa man uutiya kitaabahu biyamiinihi fayaquulu haa'umuuqrauu kitaabiyah

    On that Day, he whose Record is given to him in his right hand will say: “Lo! Read my Record!

20. 69:20

    اِنِّيْ ظَنَنْتُ اَنِّيْ مُلٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْۚ

    Innii zhanantu annii mulaaqin hisaabiyah

    Verily I was sure that I would be handed over my account.”

21. 69:21

    فَهُوَ فِيْ عِيْشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍۚ

    Fahuwa fii 'iisyatin raadhiyatin

    Then he shall find himself in a life of bliss;

22. 69:22

    فِيْ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۙ

    Fii jannatin 'aaliyatin

    in a lofty Garden

23. 69:23

    قُطُوْفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ

    Quthuufuhaa daaniyatun

    the clusters of whose fruit will be hanging low to be within reach (of the inmates of Paradise).

24. 69:24

    كُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا هَنِيْۤـًٔا ۢبِمَآ اَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى الْاَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ

    Kuluu waasyrabuu hanii-an bimaa aslaftum fiil ai-yaamil khaaliyat(i)

    (They will be told): “Eat and drink with good cheer as a reward for the good deeds you did in the days that have passed by.”

25. 69:25

    وَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِشِمَالِهٖ ەۙ فَيَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ لَمْ اُوْتَ كِتٰبِيَهْۚ

    Wa-ammaa man uutiya kitaabahu bisyimaalihi fayaquulu yaa laitanii lam uuta kitaabiyah

    As for him whose Record will be given to him in his left hand, he will exclaim: “Would that I had never been given my Record,

26. 69:26

    وَلَمْ اَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْۚ

    Walam adri maa hisaabiyah

    and had not known my account.

27. 69:27

    يٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ الْقَاضِيَةَۚ

    Yaa laitahaa kaanatil qaadhiyat(a)

    Oh! Would that the death that came to me in the world had made an end of me!

28. 69:28

    مَآ اَغْنٰى عَنِّيْ مَالِيَهْۚ

    Maa aghna 'annii maaliyah

    My riches have not availed me,

29. 69:29

    هَلَكَ عَنِّيْ سُلْطٰنِيَهْۚ

    Halaka 'annii sulthaaniyah

    and my authority has vanished.”

30. 69:30

    خُذُوْهُ فَغُلُّوْهُۙ

    Khudzuuhu faghulluuh(u)

    (A command will be issued): “Seize him and shackle him,

31. 69:31

    ثُمَّ الْجَحِيْمَ صَلُّوْهُۙ

    Tsummal jahiima shalluuh(u)

    then cast him in the Fire,

32. 69:32

    ثُمَّ فِيْ سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُوْنَ ذِرَاعًا فَاسْلُكُوْهُۗ

    Tsumma fii silsilatin dzar'uhaa sab'uuna dziraa'an faaslukuuh(u)

    then fasten him with a chain, seventy cubits long.

33. 69:33

    اِنَّهٗ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ الْعَظِيْمِۙ

    Innahu kaana laa yu'minu billahil 'azhiim(i)

    He would not believe in Allah, the Most Great;

34. 69:34

    وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلٰى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِيْنِۗ

    Walaa yahudh-dhu 'ala tha'aamil miskiin(i)

    nor would he urge the feeding of the poor.

35. 69:35

    فَلَيْسَ لَهُ الْيَوْمَ هٰهُنَا حَمِيْمٌۙ

    Falaisa lahul yauma haa hunaa hamiimun

    Today he has been left here friendless;

36. 69:36

    وَّلَا طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِيْنٍۙ

    Walaa tha'aamun ilaa min ghisliinin

    and has no food except the filth from the washing of wounds,

37. 69:37

    لَّا يَأْكُلُهٗٓ اِلَّا الْخَاطِـُٔوْنَ ࣖ

    Laa ya'kuluhu ilaal khaathi-uun(a)

    which only the sinners will eat.”

38. 69:38

    فَلَآ اُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُوْنَۙ

    Falaa uqsimu bimaa tubshiruun(a)

    But no; I swear by what you see,

39. 69:39

    وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُوْنَۙ

    Wamaa laa tubshiruun(a)

    and by what you do not see,

40. 69:40

    اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلُ رَسُوْلٍ كَرِيْمٍۙ

    Innahu laqaulu rasuulin kariimin

    that this is the speech of an honourable Messenger,

41. 69:41

    وَّمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُوْنَۙ

    Wamaa huwa biqauli syaa'irin qaliilaa maa tu'minuun(a)

    not the speech of a poet. Little do you believe!

42. 69:42

    وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۗ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَۗ

    Walaa biqauli kaahinin qaliilaa maa tadzakkaruun(a)

    Nor is this the speech of a soothsayer. Little do you reflect!

43. 69:43

    تَنْزِيْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

    Tanziilun min rabbil 'aalamiin(a)

    It has been revealed by the Lord of the Universe.

44. 69:44

    وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْاَقَاوِيْلِۙ

    Walau taqau-wala 'alainaa ba'dhal aqaawiil(i)

    And if he [i.e., the Prophets] had forged this Discourse and thereafter ascribed it to Us,

45. 69:45

    لَاَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِيْنِۙ

    Akhadznaa minhu bil yamiin(i)

    We would surely have seized him by the right hand,

46. 69:46

    ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِيْنَۖ

    Tsumma laqatha'naa minhul watiin(a)

    and then severed his life vein;

47. 69:47

    فَمَا مِنْكُمْ مِّنْ اَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِيْنَۙ

    Famaa minkum min ahadin 'anhu haajiziin(a)

    and not one of you would have been able to withhold Us from doing so.

48. 69:48

    وَاِنَّهٗ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ

    Wa-innahu latadzkiratul(n)-lilmuttaqiin(a)

    Surely it is a Good Counsel for the God-fearing.

49. 69:49

    وَاِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ اَنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُّكَذِّبِيْنَۗ

    Wa-innaa lana'lamu anna minkum mukadz-dzibiin(a)

    We certainly know that some among you will give the lie to it,

50. 69:50

    وَاِنَّهٗ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَۚ

    Wa-innahu lahasratun 'alal kaafiriin(a)

    and surely it will be a cause of regret for the unbelievers.

51. 69:51

    وَاِنَّهٗ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِيْنِ

    Wa-innahu lahaqqul yaqiin(i)

    Certainly it is a Truth of absolute certainty.

52. 69:52

    فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيْمِ ࣖ

    Fasabbih biismi rabbikal 'azhiim(i)

    So glorify the name of your Lord Most Great.
