اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ   

54.1 . The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain .

وَإِن يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ   

54.2 . And if they behold a portent they turn away and say : Prolonged illusion .

وَكَذَّبُوا وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءهُمْ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ   

54.3 . They denied ( the Truth ) and followed their own lusts . Yet everything will come to a decision

وَلَقَدْ جَاءهُم مِّنَ الْأَنبَاء مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ   

54.4 . And surely there hath come unto them news whereof the purport should deter ,

حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَى شَيْءٍ نُّكُرٍ   

54.6 . So withdraw from them ( O Muhammad ) on the day when the Summoner summoneth unto a painful thing .

خُشَّعاً أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ   

54.7 . With downcast eyes , they come forth from the graves as they were locusts spread abroad ,

مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ يَقُولُ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ   

54.8 . Hastening toward the Summoner ; the disbelievers say : This is a hard day .

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ
