Chapter 84, 25 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And when the earth is spread out
Waitha alardu muddat
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
And will return unto his folk in joy.
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا
He surely will invoke destruction
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
And be thrown to scorching fire.
Wayasla saAAeeran
إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
Waallayli wama wasaqa
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
And by the moon when she is at the full,
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
Fama lahum la yuminoona
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
