بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ bismillāhir raḥmānir raḥīm In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
1
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ lā uqsimu biyawmil qiyāmah I CALL TO WITNESS the Day of Resurrection,
2
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ walā uqsimu bin nafsillawwāmah And I call the reprehensive soul to witness:
3
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ayaḥsabul-insānu allan najma`a `iẓāmah Does man think We shall not put his bones together?
4
بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ balā qādirīna `alā an nusawwiya banānah Surely We are able to reform even his finger-tips.
5
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ bal yurīdul-insānu liyafjura amāmah Yet man is sceptical of what is right before him.
6
يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ yas-alu ayyāna yawmul qiyāmah He asks: "When will the Day of Resurrection be?"
7
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ fa-idhā bariqal baṣar Yet when the eyes are dazzled,
8
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ wakhasafal qamar The moon eclipsed,
9
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ wajumi`ash shamsu wal qamar And the sun and moon are conjoined,
10
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ yaqūlul-insānu yawma-idhin aynal mafarr That day man will say: "Where can I find escape?"
11
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ kallā lā wazar Never so, for there will be no escape.
12
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ilā rabbika yawma-idhinil-mustaqarr With your Lord alone will be the retreat on that day.
13
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ yunabba-ul-insānu yawma-idhin bimā qaddama wa-akhhar Then man will be told what he had sent ahead (of good) and what he had left behind.
14
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ balil-insānu `alā nafsihi baṣīrah In fact man is a witness against himself,
15
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ walaw alqā ma`ādhīrah Whatever the excuses he may offer.
16
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ lā tuḥarrik bihi lisānaka lita`jala bih Do not forestall (the revelation before its completion) by acting in haste.
17
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ inna `alaynā jam`ahu waqur-ānah Surely its collection and recitation are Our responsibility.
18
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ fa-idhā qara-nāhu fattabi` qur-ānah So, as We recite it, follow its reading.
19
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ thumma inna `alaynā bayānah The exposition of its meaning surely rests on Us.
20
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ kallā bal tuḥibbūnal `ājilah But no. You love this transient life,
21
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ watadharūnal-ākhirah And neglect the Hereafter.
22
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ wujūhun yawma-idhin nāḍirah How many faces will be refulgent on that Day,
23
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ilā rabbihā nāẓirah Waiting for their Lord.
24
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ wawujūhun yawma-idhin bāsirah And how many faces on that Day will be woe-begone
25
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ taẓunnu an yuf`ala bihā fāqirah Fearing that a great disaster is going to befall them.
26
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ kallā idhā balaghatit tarāqiy Never so, for when life withdraws into the clavicula,
27
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ waqīla man ۜ rāq And it is asked: "Is there any reciter of charms and amulets?"
28
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ waẓanna annahul firāq He will then realise it is the parting,
29
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ wal taffatis sāqu bis sāq And anguish will be heaped upon anguish:
30
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ilā rabbika yawma-idhinil-masāq To your Lord then will be the driving.
31
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ falā ṣaddaqa walā ṣallā For he neither believed nor prayed,
32
وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ walākin kadhhaba watawallā But only disavowed and turned away;
33
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ thumma dhahaba ilā ahlihi yatamaṭṭā Then he strutted back to his people.
34
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ awlā laka fa-awlā Alas the woe for you, alas!
35
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ thumma awlā laka fa-awlā Alas, the woe for you!
36
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ayaḥsabul-insānu an yutraka sudā Does man think that he will be left alone to himself, free?
37
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ alam yaku nuṭfatan min maniyyin yumnā Was he not an emitted drop of semen,
38
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ thumma kāna `alaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwā Then formed into an embryo? Then He fashioned, shaped and proportioned
39
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ faja`ala minhuz zawjaynidh dhakara wal-unthā And assigned it sexes, male and female.
40
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ alaysa dhālika biqādirin `alā an yuḥ-yiyal mawtā Cannot such as He bring the dead to life?
