بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت

When the sky has split [open]
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وإذا الأرض مدت
And when the earth is flattened out,
And when the earth has been extended
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
وأذنت لربها وحقت
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
He will be judged with an easy account
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا

And return to his people in happiness.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره

فسوف يدعو ثبورا
Soon will he cry for perdition,
He will cry out for destruction
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
ويصلى سعيرا

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
فلا أقسم بالشفق

So I swear by the twilight glow
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
والليل وما وسق

And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
والقمر إذا اتسق

And [by] the moon when it becomes full
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
فما لهم لا يؤمنون

وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩

And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم

إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
