بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ

When the heaven shall be cleft,

وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ

And when the stars shall be scattered,

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

And when the seas are flowed out,

وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

And when the graves are ransacked,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

Each soul shall know that which it sent afore and that which it left behind.

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ

O man! what hath beguiled thee concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,

الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

Who created thee, then moulded thee, then proportioned thee?

فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ

In whatsoever form He listed He constructed thee.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ

By no means! Aye, ye belie the the Requital.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ

Verify there are for you guardians,

كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ

Honourablel scribes.

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

They know whatsoever ye do.

إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Verily the pious shall be in Delight.

وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ

And verily the ungodly shall be in a Scorch.

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

Roasted they shall be therein on the Day of Requital.

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ

And thence they shall not be allowed to be absent.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

And what shall make thee know whatsoever the Day of Requital is?

ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

Again, what shall make thee know whatsoever the Day of Requital is?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ

It is a Day whereon no soul shall own aught of power for any soul; and the command on that Day will be Allah's.
