وما أدراك ما القارعة
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فهو في عيشة راضية

He will live a pleasant life.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
وأما من خفت موازينه

But as for him whose scales are light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فأمه هاوية
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
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

Raging Fire.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
