But they were seized by the mighty blast towards the morning

And all that they had done ( for security ) availed them nothing .

So the scream overcame them at morning .

Therefore their earnings did not in the least benefit them .

and the Cry seized them in the morning

that they earned did not avail them .

Then the shout took hold of them in the early morn .

Then availed them not that which they had been earning .

But As Saihah ( torment awful cry etc . ) overtook them in the early morning ( of the fourth day of their promised punishment days ) .

And all that which they used to earn availed them not .

But the Blast struck them in the morning .

All they had acquired was of no avail to them .

Then the Blast caught them in the morning

and whatever they had been earning proved of no avail .

But the ( Awful ) Cry overtook them at the morning hour ,

And that which they were wont to count as gain availed them not .

So the Cry seized them at dawn ,

and what they used to earn did not avail them .

But the Shout seized them in the morning ,

and that which they had earned did not help them .

But the shriek seized them at early morning .

So nothing availed them from what they used to earn .

An explosion struck them in the morning .

Out of what they had gained , nothing proved to be of any benefit to them .

So the rumbling overtook them in the morning

And what they earned did not avail them .

the blast overtook them early one morning .

All that they had acquired was of no avail to them .

But the ( mighty ) Blast seized them of a morning ,
