In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
ما القارعة
Ma alqariAAatu
What is the Calamity ?
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
وما أدراك ما القارعة
Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فهو في عيشة راضية
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
He will live a pleasant life.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
وأما من خفت موازينه
Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu
But as for him whose scales are light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فأمه هاوية
Faommuhu hawiyatun
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
وما أدراك ما هيه

Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
نار حامية
Narun hamiyatun
Raging Fire.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
