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