By [the winds] that pluck out vehemently 1 and those that blow gently, 2 and float [through space] with floating serene, 3 Then those who are foremost going ahead, 4 And those who govern the event, 5 [HENCE, think of] the Day when a violent convulsion will convulse [the world,] 6 and will be followed by another quaking. 7 On that Day will [men's] hearts be throbbing, 8 [and] their eyes downcast... 9 They say: "Shall we go back to our original state 10 When we have become bones decayed! 11 They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry, 13 And they will wake up suddenly. 14 Has there reached you the story of Moses? - 15 Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:- 16 and directed him: “Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled, 17 And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)? 18 Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). 19 So he showed him the mighty sign. 20 but he cried lies, and rebelled, 21 Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). 22 Then he gathered and cried aloud, 23 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high. 24 you pay attention 25 Indeed in this is a lesson for one who fears. 26
