আল ক্বেয়ামাহ

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection;

1 La oqsimu biyawmi alqiyamati

2 Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true).

2 Wala oqsimu bialnnafsi allawwamati

3 Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones ?

3 Ayahsabu alinsanu allan najmaAAa AAithamahu

4 Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers!

4 Bala qadireena AAala an nusawwiya bananahu

5 But man would fain deny what is before him.

5 Bal yureedu alinsanu liyafjura amamahu

6 He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection ?

6 Yasalu ayyana yawmu alqiyamati

7 But when sight is confounded

7 Faitha bariqa albasaru

8 And the moon is eclipsed

8 Wakhasafa alqamaru

9 And sun and moon are united,

9 WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru

10 On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!

10 Yaqoolu alinsanu yawmaithin ayna almafarru

11 Alas! No refuge!

11 Kalla la wazara

12 Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.

12 Ila rabbika yawmaithin almustaqarru

13 On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind.

13 Yunabbao alinsanu yawmaithin bima qaddama waakhkhara

14 Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself,

14 Bali alinsanu AAala nafsihi baseeratun

15 Although he tender his excuses.

15 Walaw alqa maAAatheerahu

16 Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it.

16 La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi

17 Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof.

17 Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu

18 And when We read it, follow thou the reading;

18 Faitha qaranahu faittabiAA quranahu

19 Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof.

19 Thumma inna AAalayna bayanahu

20 Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now

20 Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajilata

21 And neglect the Hereafter.

21 Watatharoona alakhirata

22 That day will faces be resplendent,

22 Wujoohun yawmaithin nadiratun

23 Looking toward their Lord;

23 Ila rabbiha nathiratun

24 And that day will other faces be despondent,

24 Wawujoohun yawmaithin basiratun

25 Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.

25 Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun

26 Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat

26 Kalla itha balaghati alttaraqiya

27 And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now) ?

27 Waqeela man raqin

28 And he knoweth that it is the parting;

28 Wathanna annahu alfiraqu

29 And agony is heaped on agony;

29 Wailtaffati alssaqu bialssaqi

30 Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.

30 Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu

31 For he neither trusted, nor prayed.

31 Fala saddaqa wala salla

32 But he denied and flouted.

32 Walakin kaththaba watawalla

33 Then went he to his folk with glee.

33 Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta

34 Nearer unto thee and nearer,

34 Awla laka faawla

35 Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).

35 Thumma awla laka faawla

36 Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless ?

36 Ayahsabu alinsanu an yutraka sudan

37 Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth ?

37 Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna

38 Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned

38 Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa

39 And made of him a pair, the male and female.

39 FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

40 Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life ?

40 Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta
