| 1. By the (Winds) sent 
												forth one after another (to 
												man's profit);
 2. Which then blow violently in 
												tempestuous Gusts,
 
 3. And scatter (things) far and 
												wide;
 
 4. Then separate them, one from 
												another,
 
 5. Then spread abroad a Message,
 
 6. Whether of Justification or 
												of Warning;-
 
 7. Assuredly, what ye are 
												promised must come to pass.
 
 8. Then when the stars become 
												dim;
 
 9. When the heaven is cleft 
												asunder;
 
 10. When the mountains are 
												scattered (to the winds) as 
												dust;
 
 11. And when the apostles are 
												(all) appointed a time (to 
												collect);-
 
 12. For what Day are these 
												(portents) deferred?
 
 13. For the Day of Sorting out.
 
 14. And what will explain to 
												thee what is the Day of Sorting 
												out?
 
 15. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 16. Did We not destroy the men 
												of old (for their evil)?
 
 17. So shall We make later 
												(generations) follow them.
 
 18. Thus do We deal with men of 
												sin.
 
 19. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 20. Have We not created you from 
												a fluid (held) despicable?-
 
 21. The which We placed in a 
												place of rest, firmly fixed,
 
 22. For a period (of gestation), 
												determined (according to need)?
 
 23. For We do determine 
												(according to need); for We are 
												the best to determine (things).
 
 24. Ah woe, that Day! to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 25. Have We not made the earth 
												(as a place) to draw together.
 
 26. The living and the dead,
 
 27. And made therein mountains 
												standing firm, lofty (in 
												stature); and provided for you 
												water sweet (and wholesome)?
 
 28. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 29. (It will be said:) "Depart 
												ye to that which ye used to 
												reject as false!
 
 30. "Depart ye to a Shadow (of 
												smoke ascending) in three 
												columns,
 
 31. "(Which yields) no shade of 
												coolness, and is of no use 
												against the fierce Blaze.
 
 32. "Indeed it throws about 
												sparks (huge) as Forts,
 
 33. "As if there were (a string 
												of) yellow camels (marching 
												swiftly)."
 
 34. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 35. That will be a Day when they 
												shall not be able to speak.
 
 36. Nor will it be open to them 
												to put forth pleas.
 
 37. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 38. That will be a Day of 
												Sorting out! We shall gather you 
												together and those before (you)!
 
 39. Now, if ye have a trick (or 
												plot), use it against Me!
 
 40. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 41. As to the Righteous, they 
												shall be amidst (cool) shades 
												and springs (of water).
 
 42. And (they shall have) 
												fruits,- all they desire.
 
 43. "Eat ye and drink ye to your 
												heart's content: for that ye 
												worked (Righteousness).
 
 44. Thus do We certainly reward 
												the Doers of Good.
 
 45. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 46. (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and 
												enjoy yourselves (but) a little 
												while, for that ye are Sinners.
 
 47. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 48. And when it is said to them, 
												"Prostrate yourselves!" they do 
												not so.
 
 49. Ah woe, that Day, to the 
												Rejecters of Truth!
 
 50. Then what Message, after 
												that, will they believe in?
