Chapter 84, 25 verses
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
When the heaven bursts asunder,
When the sky is rent asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Waitha alardu muddat
And when the earth is stretched,
And when the earth is flattened out,
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

And he shall go back to his people joyful.
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
He shall call for perdition,
Soon will he cry for perdition,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
Wayasla saAAeeran
And enter into burning fire.
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
Surely he thought that he would never return.
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
Waallayli wama wasaqa
And the night and that which it drives on,
The Night and its Homing;
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
And the moon when it grows full,
And the Moon in her fullness:
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
Fama lahum la yuminoona
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
And Allah knows best what they hide,
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

So announce to them a painful punishment~
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
