When the Sky is cleft asunder;
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
When the Stars are scattered;
And when the stars become dispersed,
Waitha alkawakibu intatharat
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
Waitha albiharu fujjirat
وإذا البحار فجرت
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
And when the graves are laid open,
Waitha alqubooru buAAthirat
وإذا القبور بعثرت

Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.

Ya ayyuha alinsanu ma gharraka birabbika alkareemi
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?

الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
