আল ক্বেয়ামাহ (চূড়ান্ত বিচার ও প্রতিদানের দিন)

1 Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.

1 I swear by the Day of Resurrection

2 Nay! I swear by the self - accusing soul.

2 And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

3 Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?

3 Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

4 Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips

4 Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

5 Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.

5 But man desires to continue in sin.

6 He asks: When is the day of resurrection?

6 He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

7 So when the sight becomes dazed,

7 So when vision is dazzled

8 And the moon becomes dark,

8 And the moon darkens

9 And the sun and the moon are brought together,

9 And the sun and the moon are joined,

10 Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?

10 Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

11 By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!

11 No! There is no refuge.

12 With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.

12 To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

13 Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.

13 Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

14 Nay! man is evidence against himself,

14 Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

15 Though he puts forth his excuses.

15 Even if he presents his excuses.

16 Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,

16 Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.

17 Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.

17 Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

18 Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.

18 So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

19 Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.

19 Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

20 Nay! But you love the present life,

20 No! But you love the immediate

21 And neglect the hereafter.

21 And leave the Hereafter.

22 (Some) faces on that day shall be bright,

22 [Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

23 Looking to their Lord.

23 Looking at their Lord.

24 And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,

24 And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

25 Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.

25 Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

26 Nay! When it comes up to the throat,

26 No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

27 And it is said: Who will be a magician?

27 And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

28 And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting

28 And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation

29 And affliction is combined with affliction;

29 And the leg is wound about the leg,

30 To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.

30 To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

31 So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,

31 And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.

32 But called the truth a lie and turned back,

32 But [instead], he denied and turned away.

33 Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.

33 And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].

34 Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,

34 Woe to you, and woe!

35 Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.

35 Then woe to you, and woe!

36 Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?

36 Does man think that he will be left neglected?

37 Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,

37 Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

38 Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.

38 Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

39 Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.

39 And made of him two mates, the male and the female.

40 Is not He able to give life to the dead?

40 Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
