وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ
that it was He who brought down the ruined cities
فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
and enveloped them in the punishment He ordained for them?
فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
Which then of your Lord’s blessings do you deny?
هَٰذَا نَذِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ
This is a warning just like the warnings sent in former times.
أَزِفَتِ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةُ
The imminent Hour draws near
لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ
and only God can disclose it.
أَفَمِنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ تَعۡجَبُونَ
Do you [people] marvel at this?
وَتَضۡحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبۡكُونَ
Why do you laugh instead of weeping?
وَأَنتُمۡ سَٰمِدُونَ
Why do you pay no heed?
فَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ۩
Bow down before God and worship.
