1 I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
2 And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil). وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
3 Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ
4 Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ
5 But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him. بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ
6 He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ
7 At length, when the sight is dazed, فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ
8 And the moon is buried in darkness. وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ
9 And the sun and moon are joined together,- وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ
10 That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?" يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ
11 By no means! No place of safety! كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
12 Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest. إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ
13 That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back. يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
14 Nay, man will be evidence against himself, بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ
15 Even though he were to put up his excuses. وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ
16 Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur´an) to make haste therewith. لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ
17 It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ
18 But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated): فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ
19 Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear): ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ
20 Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life, كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ
21 And leave alone the Hereafter. وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
22 Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);- وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
23 Looking towards their Lord; إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
24 And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ
25 In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them; تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
26 Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit), كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتْ التَّرَاقِيَ
27 And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?" وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
28 And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting; وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ
29 And one leg will be joined with another: وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ
30 That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord! إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ
31 So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!- فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى
32 But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away! وَلَكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
33 Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit! ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى
34 Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe! أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
35 Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe! ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى
36 Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
37 Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى
38 Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى
39 And of him He made two sexes, male and female. فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
40 Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead? أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى
