وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ
And ˹it was˺ He ˹Who˺ turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down.
فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ
How overwhelming was what covered ˹them˺!1
فَبِأَيِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
Now, which of your Lord’s favours will you dispute?
هَٰذَا نَذِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ
This ˹Prophet˺ is a warner like earlier ones.
أَزِفَتِ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةُ
The approaching ˹Hour˺ has drawn near.
لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ
None but Allah can disclose it.
أَفَمِنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ تَعۡجَبُونَ
Do you find this revelation astonishing,
وَتَضۡحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبۡكُونَ
laughing ˹at it˺ and not weeping ˹in awe˺,
وَأَنتُمۡ سَٰمِدُونَ
while persisting in heedlessness?
فَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ لِلَّهِۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ۩
Instead, prostrate to Allah and worship ˹Him alone˺!
