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