الـقـيامـة

1 I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;

1 La oqsimu biyawmi alqiyamati

2 And I do call to witness the self - reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).

2 Wala oqsimu bialnnafsi allawwamati

3 Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?

3 Ayahsabu alinsanu allan najmaAAa AAithamahu

4 Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.

4 Bala qadireena AAala an nusawwiya bananahu

5 But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.

5 Bal yureedu alinsanu liyafjura amamahu

6 He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

6 Yasalu ayyana yawmu alqiyamati

7 At length, when the sight is dazed,

7 Faitha bariqa albasaru

8 And the moon is buried in darkness.

8 Wakhasafa alqamaru

9 And the sun and moon are joined together, -

9 WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru

10 That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

10 Yaqoolu alinsanu yawmaithin ayna almafarru

11 By no means! No place of safety!

11 Kalla la wazara

12 Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.

12 Ila rabbika yawmaithin almustaqarru

13 That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.

13 Yunabbao alinsanu yawmaithin bima qaddama waakhkhara

14 Nay, man will be evidence against himself,

14 Bali alinsanu AAala nafsihi baseeratun

15 Even though he were to put up his excuses.

15 Walaw alqa maAAatheerahu

16 Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.

16 La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi

17 It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:

17 Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu

18 But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):

18 Faitha qaranahu faittabiAA quranahu

19 Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):

19 Thumma inna AAalayna bayanahu

20 Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

20 Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajilata

21 And leave alone the Hereafter.

21 Watatharoona alakhirata

22 Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty); -

22 Wujoohun yawmaithin nadiratun

23 Looking towards their Lord;

23 Ila rabbiha nathiratun

24 And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,

24 Wawujoohun yawmaithin basiratun

25 In the thought that some back - breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;

25 Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun

26 Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar - bone (in its exit),

26 Kalla itha balaghati alttaraqiya

27 And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"

27 Waqeela man raqin

28 And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;

28 Wathanna annahu alfiraqu

29 And one leg will be joined with another:

29 Wailtaffati alssaqu bialssaqi

30 That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

30 Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu

31 So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! -

31 Fala saddaqa wala salla

32 But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!

32 Walakin kaththaba watawalla

33 Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!

33 Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta

34 Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

34 Awla laka faawla

35 Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

35 Thumma awla laka faawla

36 Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?

36 Ayahsabu alinsanu an yutraka sudan

37 Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?

37 Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna

38 Then did he become a leech - like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.

38 Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa

39 And of him He made two sexes, male and female.

39 FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

40 Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?

40 Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta
