فَالمُدَبِّراتِ أَمرًا

And those who arrange [each] matter,

يَومَ تَرجُفُ الرّاجِفَةُ

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

تَتبَعُهَا الرّادِفَةُ

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

قُلوبٌ يَومَئِذٍ واجِفَةٌ

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

أَبصارُها خاشِعَةٌ

Their eyes humbled.

أَإِذا كُنّا عِظامًا نَخِرَةً

Even if we should be decayed bones?

قالوا تِلكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خاسِرَةٌ

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

فَإِنَّما هِيَ زَجرَةٌ واحِدَةٌ

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذا هُم بِالسّاهِرَةِ

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

هَل أَتاكَ حَديثُ موسىٰ

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
