In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
no! i swear by the day of resurrection, (1) | | لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ﴿1﴾ |
no! i swear by the reproachful soul! (2) | | وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ ﴿2﴾ |
what, does the human think we shall never gather his bones? (3) | | أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ ﴿3﴾ |
indeed yes, we are able to shape his fingerstips yet again! (4) | | بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ ﴿4﴾ |
rather, the human desires to continue in his immorality, (5) | | بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ ﴿5﴾ |
'when will the day of resurrection be? ' he asks, (6) | | يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ ﴿6﴾ |
but when the sight is dazed (7) | | فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ ﴿7﴾ |
and the moon eclipsed, (8) | | وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ ﴿8﴾ |
when the sun and moon are gathered together (9) | | وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ﴿9﴾ |
on that day the human will ask: 'to (which place) shall i flee? ' (10) | | يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ ﴿10﴾ |
no, there shall be no (place of) refuge. (11) | | كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ﴿11﴾ |
for on that day the refuge shall be to your lord. (12) | | إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ ﴿12﴾ |
on that day the human shall be informed of his former and latter deeds. (13) | | يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ﴿13﴾ |
he shall be a clear proof against himself, (14) | | بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ ﴿14﴾ |
even though he offers his excuses. (15) | | وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ ﴿15﴾ |
do not move your tongue with it (the revelation) to hasten it. (16) | | لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ ﴿16﴾ |
it's gathering and reciting is upon us. (17) | | إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ ﴿17﴾ |
when we recite it, follow its recitation. (18) | | فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ ﴿18﴾ |
it's explanation is upon us. (19) | | ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ ﴿19﴾ |
yet you love this hasty world (20) | | كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ ﴿20﴾ |
and are heedless of the everlasting life. (21) | | وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ ﴿21﴾ |
on that day there shall be radiant faces, (22) | | وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ ﴿22﴾ |
gazing towards their lord. (23) | | إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ ﴿23﴾ |
and on that day there shall be scowling faces, (24) | | وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ ﴿24﴾ |
so they might think the calamity had been inflicted upon them. (25) | | تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ ﴿25﴾ |
but, when (the soul) reaches the collar bone (26) | | كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتْ التَّرَاقِيَ ﴿26﴾ |
and it is said: 'who is a healing chanter? ' (27) | | وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ ﴿27﴾ |
and when he thinks it is the time of departure (28) | | وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ ﴿28﴾ |
and when leg is intertwined with leg, (29) | | وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ ﴿29﴾ |
upon that day the driving shall be to your lord. (30) | | إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ ﴿30﴾ |
because, he neither believed nor prayed; (31) | | فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى ﴿31﴾ |
he belied the truth and turned away; (32) | | وَلَكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى ﴿32﴾ |
then went arrogantly to his household. (33) | | ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى ﴿33﴾ |
near to you and nearer, (34) | | أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى ﴿34﴾ |
then nearer to you and nearer! (35) | | ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى ﴿35﴾ |
does the human think he will be left to roam at will? (36) | | أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ﴿36﴾ |
what, was he not an ejaculated drop (of sperm)? (37) | | أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى ﴿37﴾ |
then he was a clot of blood, then he created and formed him (38) | | ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى ﴿38﴾ |
and made from him two kinds, male and female. (39) | | فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى ﴿39﴾ |
what, is he then unable to revive the dead? (40) | | أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى ﴿40﴾ |
