أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا نَّخِرَةٗ
"What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"
قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذٗا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٞ
They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ
But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).
هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Has the story of Moses reached thee?
إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:-
ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:
فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
"And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?-
وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ
"'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"
