يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُدَّثِّرُ

O you who covers himself [with a garment],[1]

قُمۡ فَأَنذِرۡ

Arise and warn.

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرۡ

And your Lord glorify.

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرۡ

And your clothing purify.

وَٱلرُّجۡزَ فَٱهۡجُرۡ

And uncleanliness[1] avoid.

وَلَا تَمۡنُن تَسۡتَكۡثِرُ

And do not confer favor to acquire more[1].

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصۡبِرۡ

But for your Lord be patient.

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي ٱلنَّاقُورِ

And when the trumpet is blown,

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَوۡمٌ عَسِيرٌ

That Day will be a difficult day

عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ غَيۡرُ يَسِيرٖ

For the disbelievers – not easy.

ذَرۡنِي وَمَنۡ خَلَقۡتُ وَحِيدٗا

Leave Me with the one I created alone[1]

وَجَعَلۡتُ لَهُۥ مَالٗا مَّمۡدُودٗا

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودٗا

And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمۡهِيدٗا

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ أَنۡ أَزِيدَ

Then he desires that I should add more.

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيدٗا

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

سَأُرۡهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا

I will cover him with arduous torment.

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

Indeed, he thought and deliberated.[1]

فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

Then he considered [again];

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

Then he frowned and scowled;

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ

Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ يُؤۡثَرُ

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوۡلُ ٱلۡبَشَرِ

This is not but the word of a human being."

سَأُصۡلِيهِ سَقَرَ

I will drive him into Saqar.[1]

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ

And what can make you know what is Saqar?

لَا تُبۡقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

لَوَّاحَةٞ لِّلۡبَشَرِ

Altering [i.e., blackening] the skins.

عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَ

Over it are nineteen [angels].
