لِأَيِّ يَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ
For what day is the time appointed?
لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ
For the Day of Decision.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ
And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
أَلَمۡ نُهۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Destroyed We not the former folk,
ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ
Then caused the latter folk to follow after?
كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
Thus deal We ever with the guilty.
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
أَلَمۡ نَخۡلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٖ مَّهِينٖ
Did We not create you from a base fluid
فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ فِي قَرَارٖ مَّكِينٍ
Which We laid up in a safe abode
إِلَىٰ قَدَرٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ
For a known term?
