أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ
And our earliest fathers?"
قُلۡ نَعَمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ
Say, "Yes, and you will be (utterly) abject."
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ فَإِذَا هُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ
So, surely it is only one scaring, then only then, they are looking on.
وَقَالُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
And they say, "oh woe to us! This is the Day of Doom." (Or: Judgment; Religion)
هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
This is the Day of Verdict, which you used to cry lies to.
۞ٱحۡشُرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزۡوَٰجَهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡبُدُونَ
Muster the ones who did injustice, and their spouses, and whatever they were worshiping.
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهۡدُوهُمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Apart from Allah, and so guide them to the path of Hell-Fire.
وَقِفُوهُمۡۖ إِنَّهُم مَّسۡـُٔولُونَ
And bid them stand; surely they are to be questioned,
مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
How is it that you do not vindicate one another?
