فَمَا تَنۡفَعُهُمۡ شَفَاعَةُ الشّٰفِعِيۡنَؕ‏

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors

فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ التَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِيۡنَۙ‏

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

كَاَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٌ مُّسۡتَنۡفِرَةٌۙ‏

As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّتۡ مِنۡ قَسۡوَرَةٍؕ‏

Fleeing from a lion

بَلۡ يُرِيۡدُ كُلُّ امۡرِئٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ اَنۡ يُّؤۡتٰي صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةًۙ‏

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about

كَلَّاؕ بَلۡ لَّا يَخَافُوۡنَ الۡاٰخِرَةَؕ‏

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter

كَلَّا٘ اِنَّهٗ تَذۡكِرَةٌۚ‏

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

فَمَنۡ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗؕ‏

Then whoever wills will remember it

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُوۡنَ اِلَّا٘ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُؕ هُوَ اَهۡلُ التَّقۡوٰي وَاَهۡلُ الۡمَغۡفِرَةِࣖ‏

And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness

لَا٘ اُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ الۡقِيٰمَةِۙ‏

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَا٘ اُقۡسِمُ بِالنَّفۡسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]

اَيَحۡسَبُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اَلَّنۡ نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهٗؕ‏

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones

بَلٰي قٰدِرِيۡنَ عَلٰ٘ي اَنۡ نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهٗ

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips

بَلۡ يُرِيۡدُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ لِيَفۡجُرَ اَمَامَهٗۚ‏

But man desires to continue in sin

يَسۡـَٔلُ اَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ الۡقِيٰمَةِؕ‏

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection

فَاِذَا بَرِقَ الۡبَصَرُۙ‏

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ الۡقَمَرُۙ‏

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمۡسُ وَالۡقَمَرُۙ‏

And the sun and the moon are joined

يَقُوۡلُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ اَيۡنَ الۡمَفَرُّۚ‏

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَؕ‏

No! There is no refuge

اِلٰي رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذِ اِۨلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّؕ‏

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence

يُنَبَّؤُا الۡاِنۡسَانُ يَوۡمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَاَخَّرَؕ‏

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back

بَلِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ عَلٰي نَفۡسِهٖ بَصِيۡرَةٌۙ‏

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness

وَّلَوۡ اَلۡقٰي مَعَاذِيۡرَهٗؕ‏

Even if he presents his excuses

لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهٖ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهٖؕ‏

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an

اِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهٗ وَقُرۡاٰنَهٗۚۖ‏

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation

فَاِذَا قَرَاۡنٰهُ فَاتَّبِعۡ قُرۡاٰنَهٗۚ‏

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation

ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا بَيَانَهٗؕ‏

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you]
