بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ يَلۡعَبُونَ

yet in [their state of] doubt they take nothing seriously.


فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ يَوۡمَ تَأۡتِي ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٖ مُّبِينٖ

[Prophet], watch out for the Day when the sky brings forth clouds of smoke for all to see.


يَغۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

It will envelop the people. They will cry, ‘This is a terrible torment!


رَّبَّنَا ٱكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُونَ

Lord relieve us from this torment! We believe!’


أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ وَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولٞ مُّبِينٞ

How will this [sudden] faith benefit them? When a prophet came to warn them plainly,


ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ وَقَالُواْ مُعَلَّمٞ مَّجۡنُونٌ

they turned their backs on him, saying, ‘He is tutored! He is possessed!’


إِنَّا كَاشِفُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ قَلِيلًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ عَآئِدُونَ

We shall hold the torment back for a while ––you are sure to return [to Us]––


يَوۡمَ نَبۡطِشُ ٱلۡبَطۡشَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

and on the Day We seize [them] mightily We shall exact retribution.
