وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
Ayahsabu alinsanu allan najmaAAa AAithamahu
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

Faitha bariqa albasaru
So when vision is dazzled
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ
Wakhasafa alqamaru
And the moon darkens
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ
WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru
And the sun and the moon are joined,
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ

Bali alinsanu AAala nafsihi baseeratun
Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ
Walaw alqa maAAatheerahu
Even if he presents his excuses.
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi
Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ

Thumma inna AAalayna bayanahu
Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ
Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ
Waqeela man raqin
And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

And the had not believed, nor had he prayed.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
Walakin kaththaba watawalla
But [instead], he denied and turned away.
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta
And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
Awla laka faawla
Woe to you, and woe!
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
Thumma awla laka faawla
Then woe to you, and woe!
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ

Does man think that he will be left neglected?
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna
Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ
Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa
Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha
And made of him two mates, the male and the female.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
