The Cloaked One

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُدَّثِّرُ

O you who covers himself [with a garment]

قُمۡ فَأَنذِرۡ

Arise and warn

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرۡ

And your Lord glorify

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرۡ

And your clothing purify

وَٱلرُّجۡزَ فَٱهۡجُرۡ

And uncleanliness avoid

وَلَا تَمۡنُن تَسۡتَكۡثِرُ

And do not confer favor to acquire more

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصۡبِرۡ

But for your Lord be patient

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي ٱلنَّاقُورِ

And when the trumpet is blown

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَوۡمٌ عَسِيرٌ

That Day will be a difficult day

عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ غَيۡرُ يَسِيرٖ

For the disbelievers - not easy

ذَرۡنِي وَمَنۡ خَلَقۡتُ وَحِيدٗا

Leave Me with the one I created alone

وَجَعَلۡتُ لَهُۥ مَالٗا مَّمۡدُودٗا

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودٗا

And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمۡهِيدٗا

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life]

ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ أَنۡ أَزِيدَ

Then he desires that I should add more

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيدٗا

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate

سَأُرۡهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا

I will cover him with arduous torment

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

Indeed, he thought and deliberated

فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

Then he considered [again]

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

Then he frowned and scowled

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ

Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ يُؤۡثَرُ

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others]

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوۡلُ ٱلۡبَشَرِ

This is not but the word of a human being
