فَالعاصِفاتِ عَصفًا

And the winds that blow violently

وَالنّاشِراتِ نَشرًا

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

فَالفارِقاتِ فَرقًا

And those [angels] who bring criterion

فَالمُلقِياتِ ذِكرًا

And those [angels] who deliver a message

عُذرًا أَو نُذرًا

As justification or warning,

فَإِذَا النُّجومُ طُمِسَت

So when the stars are obliterated

وَإِذَا السَّماءُ فُرِجَت

And when the heaven is opened

وَإِذَا الجِبالُ نُسِفَت

And when the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَت

And when the messengers' time has come...

لِأَيِّ يَومٍ أُجِّلَت

For what Day was it postponed?
