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

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

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

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

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

5 But man desires to continue in sin.

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

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

7 So when vision is dazzled

7 So when the sight becomes dazed,

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

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

11 No! There is no refuge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 Nay! man is evidence against himself,

15 Even if he presents his excuses.

15 Though he puts forth his excuses.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 No! But you love the immediate

20 Nay! But you love the present life,

21 And leave the Hereafter.

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

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

23 Looking at their Lord.

23 Looking to their Lord.

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

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

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

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

26 No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

26 Nay! When it comes up to the throat,

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

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

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

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

29 And the leg is wound about the leg,

29 And affliction is combined with affliction;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

34 Woe to you, and woe!

34 Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,

35 Then woe to you, and woe!

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

36 Does man think that he will be left neglected?

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

37 Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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