Chapter 81, 29 verses
Itha alshshamsu kuwwirat
When the sun is covered,
إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
Waitha alnnujoomu inkadarat
And when the stars darken,
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ
Waitha aljibalu suyyirat
And when the mountains are made to pass away,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
Waitha alAAisharu AAuttilat
And when the camels are left untended,
وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
Waitha alwuhooshu hushirat
And when the wild animals are made to go forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
Waitha albiharu sujjirat
And when the seas are set on fire,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
Waitha alnnufoosu zuwwijat
And when souls are united,
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
Waitha almawoodatu suilat
And when the female infant buried alive is asked
وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ
Biayyi thanbin qutilat
For what sin she was killed,
بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ
Waitha alssuhufu nushirat
And when the books are spread,
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
Waitha alssamao kushitat
And when the heaven has its covering removed,
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ
Waitha aljaheemu suAAAAirat
And when the hell is kindled up,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
Waitha aljannatu ozlifat
And when the garden is brought nigh,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat
Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ
Fala oqsimu bialkhunnasi
But nay! I swear by the stars,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
Aljawari alkunnasi
That run their course (and) hide themselves,
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ
Waallayli itha AAasAAasa
And the night when it departs,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
Waalssubhi itha tanaffasa
And the morning when it brightens,
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin
Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
Thee quwwatin AAinda thee alAAarshi makeenin
The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
MutaAAin thamma ameenin
One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
Wama sahibukum bimajnoonin
And your companion is not gone mad.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
Walaqad raahu bialofuqi almubeeni
And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneenin
Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
Wama huwa biqawli shaytanin rajeemin
Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ
Faayna tathhaboona
Whither then will you go?
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena
It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeema
For him among you who pleases to go straight.
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameena
And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
