8 Wakhasafa alqamaru

8 And the moon becomes dark,

9 WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru

9 And the sun and the moon are brought together,

10 Yaqoolu alinsanu yawmaithin ayna almafarru

10 Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?

11 Kalla la wazara

11 By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!

12 Ila rabbika yawmaithin almustaqarru

12 With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.

13 Yunabbao alinsanu yawmaithin bima qaddama waakhkhara

13 Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.

14 Bali alinsanu AAala nafsihi baseeratun

15 Walaw alqa maAAatheerahu

15 Though he puts forth his excuses.

16 La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi

16 Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,

17 Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu

17 Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.

18 Faitha qaranahu faittabiAA quranahu

18 Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.

19 Thumma inna AAalayna bayanahu

19 Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.

20 Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajilata

20 Nay! But you love the present life,

21 Watatharoona alakhirata

21 And neglect the hereafter.

22 Wujoohun yawmaithin nadiratun

22 (Some) faces on that day shall be bright,

23 Ila rabbiha nathiratun

23 Looking to their Lord.

24 Wawujoohun yawmaithin basiratun

24 And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,

25 Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun

25 Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.

26 Kalla itha balaghati alttaraqiya

26 Nay! When it comes up to the throat,

27 Waqeela man raqin

30 Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu

30 To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.

31 Fala saddaqa wala salla

31 So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,

32 Walakin kaththaba watawalla

32 But called the truth a lie and turned back,

33 Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta

33 Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.

34 Awla laka faawla

34 Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,

35 Thumma awla laka faawla

35 Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.

36 Ayahsabu alinsanu an yutraka sudan

36 Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?

37 Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna

37 Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,

38 Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa

38 Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.

39 FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

39 Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.

40 Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta

40 Is not He able to give life to the dead?
