كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّوۡنَ الۡعَاجِلَةَۙ‏

No! But you love the immediate

وَتَذَرُوۡنَ الۡاٰخِرَةَؕ‏

And leave the Hereafter

وُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌۙ‏

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant

اِلٰي رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۚ‏

Looking at their Lord

وَوُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۙ‏

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted

تَظُنُّ اَنۡ يُّفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌؕ‏

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking

كَلَّا٘ اِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَۙ‏

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقِيۡلَ مَنۡࣝ رَاقٍۙ‏

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]

وَّظَنَّ اَنَّهُ الۡفِرَاقُۙ‏

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation

وَالۡتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِۙ‏

And the leg is wound about the leg

اِلٰي رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذِ اِۨلۡمَسَاقُؕࣖ‏

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلّٰيۙ‏

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed

وَلٰكِنۡ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰيۙ‏

But [instead], he denied and turned away

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ اِلٰ٘ي اَهۡلِهٖ يَتَمَطّٰيؕ‏

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride]

اَوۡلٰي لَكَ فَاَوۡلٰيۙ‏

Woe to you, and woe

ثُمَّ اَوۡلٰي لَكَ فَاَوۡلٰيؕ‏

Then woe to you, and woe

اَيَحۡسَبُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اَنۡ يُّتۡرَكَ سُدًيؕ‏

Does man think that he will be left neglected

اَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةً مِّنۡ مَّنِيٍّ يُّمۡنٰيۙ‏

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوّٰيۙ‏

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ الزَّوۡجَيۡنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالۡاُنۡثٰيؕ‏

And made of him two mates, the male and the female

اَلَيۡسَ ذٰلِكَ بِقٰدِرٍ عَلٰ٘ي اَنۡ يُّحۡيِۦَ الۡمَوۡتٰيࣖ‏

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead

هَلۡ اَتٰي عَلَي الۡاِنۡسَانِ حِيۡنٌ مِّنَ الدَّهۡرِ لَمۡ يَكُنۡ شَيۡـًٔا مَّذۡكُوۡرًا

Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned

اِنَّا خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍ اَمۡشَاجٍࣗۖ نَّبۡتَلِيۡهِ فَجَعَلۡنٰهُ سَمِيۡعًاۭ بَصِيۡرًاۚ‏

Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing

اِنَّا هَدَيۡنٰهُ السَّبِيۡلَ اِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَّاِمَّا كَفُوۡرًا

Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful

اِنَّا٘ اَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ سَلٰسِلَا۠ وَاَغۡلٰلًا وَّسَعِيۡرًا

Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blaze

اِنَّ الۡاَبۡرَارَ يَشۡرَبُوۡنَ مِنۡ كَاۡسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُوۡرًاۚ‏

Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kafur
