Al-Muddaththir

يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ ١

O thou enveloped in thy cloak,

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ ٢

Arise and warn!

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ٣

Thy Lord magnify,

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ٤

Thy raiment purify,

وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ ٥

Pollution shun!

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ٦

And show not favour, seeking wordly gain!

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ ٧

For the sake of thy Lord, be patient!

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ ٨

For when the trumpet shall sound,

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ٩

Surely that day will be a day of anguish,

عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ١٠

Not of ease, for disbelievers.

ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا ١١

Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,

وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا ١٢

And then bestowed upon him ample means,

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا ١٣

And sons abiding in his presence

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيدًا ١٤

And made (life) smooth for him.

ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ ١٥

Yet he desireth that I should give more.

كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا ١٦

Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.

سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا ١٧

On him I shall impose a fearful doom.

إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ١٨

For lo! he did consider; then he planned -

فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ١٩

(Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned!

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ٢٠

Again (self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! -
