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]

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
