3 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

3 Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu

4 A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths

4 Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi

5 And the mountains will become as carded wool.

5 Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi

6 Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

6 Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu

7 He will live a pleasant life.

7 Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

8 But as for him whose scales are light,

8 Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu

9 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

9 Faommuhu hawiyatun

10 Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -

10 Wama adraka ma hiyah

11 Narun hamiyatun
