بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًا ١

(1) By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًا ٢

(2) And the winds that blow violently

وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًا ٣

(3) And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًا ٤

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ٥

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا ٦

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ ١١

(11) And when the messengers' time has come...[1817]

Notes

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ١٤

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٥

(15) Woe,[1819] that Day, to the deniers.
