4 And when the graves are laid open,

6 Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi

9 Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,

9 Kalla bal tukaththiboona bialddeeni

14 Wainna alfujjara lafee jaheemin

14 And verily, the Fujjar (the wicked, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners and evil-doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell),

15 Yaslawnaha yawma alddeeni
