Chapter 75, 40 verses
Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.
La oqsimu biyawmi alqiyamati
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
Nay! I swear by the self - accusing soul.
Wala oqsimu bialnnafsi allawwamati
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
Ayahsabu alinsanu allan najmaAAa AAithamahu
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ
Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips
Bala qadireena AAala an nusawwiya bananahu
بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ
Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.
Bal yureedu alinsanu liyafjura amamahu
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ
He asks: When is the day of resurrection?
Yasalu ayyana yawmu alqiyamati
يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
So when the sight becomes dazed,
Faitha bariqa albasaru
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ
And the moon becomes dark,
Wakhasafa alqamaru
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ
And the sun and the moon are brought together,
WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ
Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
Yaqoolu alinsanu yawmaithin ayna almafarru
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ
By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!
Kalla la wazara
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.
Ila rabbika yawmaithin almustaqarru
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ
Man shall on that day be of what he sent before and (what he) put off.
Yunabbao alinsanu yawmaithin bima qaddama waakhkhara
يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
Nay! man is evidence against himself,
Bali alinsanu AAala nafsihi baseeratun
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ
Though he puts forth his excuses.
Walaw alqa maAAatheerahu
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ
Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
Faitha qaranahu faittabiAA quranahu
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ
Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
Thumma inna AAalayna bayanahu
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ
Nay! But you love the present life,
Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajilata
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ
And neglect the hereafter.
Watatharoona alakhirata
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
(Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
Wujoohun yawmaithin nadiratun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
Looking to their Lord.
Ila rabbiha nathiratun
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
Wawujoohun yawmaithin basiratun
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ
Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
Kalla itha balaghati alttaraqiya
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ
And it is said: Who will be a magician?
Waqeela man raqin
وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
Wathanna annahu alfiraqu
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ
And affliction is combined with affliction;
Wailtaffati alssaqu bialssaqi
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ
So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
Fala saddaqa wala salla
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
But called the truth a lie and turned back,
Walakin kaththaba watawalla
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
Awla laka faawla
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
Thumma awla laka faawla
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ
Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
Ayahsabu alinsanu an yutraka sudan
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ
Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Is not He able to give life to the dead?
Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
