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