Yusuf Ali
The Hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and the moon is cleft asunder.
Yusuf Ali
But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic."
Yusuf Ali
They reject (the warning) and follow their (own) lusts but every matter has its appointed time.
Yusuf Ali
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
Yusuf Ali
Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
Yusuf Ali
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
Yusuf Ali
They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
Yusuf Ali
Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.
Yusuf Ali
Before them the People of Noah rejected (their messenger): they rejected Our servant, and said, "Here is one possessed!", and he was driven out.
Yusuf Ali
Then he called on his Lord: "I am one overcome: do Thou then help (me)!"
Yusuf Ali
So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth.
Yusuf Ali
And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.
Yusuf Ali
But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:
Yusuf Ali
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
Yusuf Ali
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
Yusuf Ali
But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?
Yusuf Ali
And We have indeed made the Qur´an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
Yusuf Ali
The ´Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?
Yusuf Ali
For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster,
Yusuf Ali
Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground).
