By the Book that makes things clear;-
In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,
There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death,- The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors.
Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,
Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them,-
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of Allah: I am to you an messenger worthy of all trust;
"For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me.
"If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
"And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight!
Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!
Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.
As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:
Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them,-
Will be the food of the Sinful,-
Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.
Like the boiling of scalding water.
(A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!
"Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour!
