wa-is'tamiʿ yawma yunādi l-munādi min makānin qarībin
And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near -
yawma yasmaʿūna l-ṣayḥata bil-ḥaqi dhālika yawmu l-khurūji
The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].
innā naḥnu nuḥ'yī wanumītu wa-ilaynā l-maṣīru
Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination
yawma tashaqqaqu l-arḍu ʿanhum sirāʿan dhālika ḥashrun ʿalaynā yasīrun
On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.
naḥnu aʿlamu bimā yaqūlūna wamā anta ʿalayhim bijabbārin fadhakkir bil-qur'āni man yakhāfu waʿīdi
We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant. But remind by the Qur’ān whoever fears My threat.
