AAuthran aw nuthran

Udhrāan 'Aw Nudhrāan

Ilá Qadarin Ma`lūmin

Till an appointed term

Faqadarna faniAAma alqadiroona

The living and the dead

WajaAAalna feeha rawasiya shamikhatin waasqaynakum maan furatan

Walk on to that which you called a lie

Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin

Anţaliqū 'Ilá Žillin Dhī Thalāthi Shu`abin

Walk on to the covering having three branches

La thaleelin wala yughnee mina allahabi

Lā Žalīlin Wa Lā Yughnī Mina Al-Lahabi

Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame

Innaha tarmee bishararin kaalqasri

Innahā Tarmī Bishararin Kālqaşri

Surely it sends up sparks like palaces

Kaannahu jimalatun sufrun

Ka'annahu Jimālatun Şufrun

As if they were tawny camels

This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore

Fain kana lakum kaydun fakeedooni

Fa'in Kāna Lakum Kaydun Fakīdūni

So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now)

Waylun Yawma'idhin Lilmukadhibīna

Woe on that day to the rejecters

Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin

Inna Al-Muttaqīna Fī Žilālin Wa `Uyūnin

Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains

Wa Fawākiha Mimmā Yashtahūna

And fruits such as they desire

Waylun Yawma'idhin Lilmukadhibīna

Woe on that day to the rejecters

Fabiayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yuminoona

Fabi'ayyi Ĥadīthin Ba`dahu Yu'uminūna

In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe
