لَآ Nay أُقْسِمُ I swear بِيَوْمِ by (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection

وَلَآ And nay أُقْسِمُ I swear بِٱلنَّفْسِ by the soul ٱللَّوَّامَةِ self-accusing

أَيَحْسَبُ Does think ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ [the] man أَلَّن that not نَّجْمَعَ We will assemble عِظَامَهُۥ his bones

بَلَىٰ Nay قَـٰدِرِينَ (We are) Able عَلَىٰٓ on أَن that نُّسَوِّىَ We can restore بَنَانَهُۥ his fingertips

بَلْ Nay يُرِيدُ Desires ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ [the] man لِيَفْجُرَ to give (the) lie أَمَامَهُۥ (to) what is before him

يَسْـَٔلُ He asks أَيَّانَ When يَوْمُ (is the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection

فَإِذَا So when بَرِقَ is dazzled ٱلْبَصَرُ the vision

وَخَسَفَ And becomes dark ٱلْقَمَرُ the moon

وَجُمِعَ And are joined ٱلشَّمْسُ the sun وَٱلْقَمَرُ and the moon

يَقُولُ Will say ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ [the] man يَوْمَئِذٍ that Day أَيْنَ Where ٱلْمَفَرُّ (is) the escape

كَلَّا By no means لَا (There is) no وَزَرَ refuge

إِلَىٰ To رَبِّكَ your Lord يَوْمَئِذٍ that Day ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ (is) the place of rest

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ Will be informed ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ [the] man يَوْمَئِذٍۭ that Day بِمَا of what قَدَّمَ he sent forth وَأَخَّرَ and kept back

بَلِ Nay ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ [The] man عَلَىٰ against نَفْسِهِۦ himself بَصِيرَةٌ (will be) a witness

وَلَوْ Even if أَلْقَىٰ he presents مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ his excuses

لَا Not تُحَرِّكْ move بِهِۦ with it لِسَانَكَ your tongue لِتَعْجَلَ to hasten بِهِۦٓ with it

إِنَّ Indeed عَلَيْنَا upon Us جَمْعَهُۥ (is) its collection وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ and its recitation

فَإِذَا And when قَرَأْنَـٰهُ We have recited it فَٱتَّبِعْ then follow قُرْءَانَهُۥ its recitation

ثُمَّ Then إِنَّ indeed عَلَيْنَا upon Us بَيَانَهُۥ (is) its explanation

كَلَّا No بَلْ But تُحِبُّونَ you love ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ the immediate

وَتَذَرُونَ And leave ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ the Hereafter

وُجُوهٌ Faces يَوْمَئِذٍ that Day نَّاضِرَةٌ (will be) radiant

إِلَىٰ Towards رَبِّهَا their Lord نَاظِرَةٌ looking

وَوُجُوهٌ And faces يَوْمَئِذٍۭ that Day بَاسِرَةٌ (will be) distorted

تَظُنُّ Thinking أَن that يُفْعَلَ will be done بِهَا to them فَاقِرَةٌ backbreaking

كَلَّآ No إِذَا When بَلَغَتِ it reaches ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ the collar bones

وَقِيلَ And it is said مَنْ Who ۜ   رَاقٍ (will) cure

وَظَنَّ And he is certain أَنَّهُ that it ٱلْفِرَاقُ (is) the parting

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ And is wound ٱلسَّاقُ the leg بِٱلسَّاقِ about the leg

إِلَىٰ To رَبِّكَ your Lord يَوْمَئِذٍ that Day ٱلْمَسَاقُ (will be) the driving

فَلَا And not صَدَّقَ he accepted (the) truth وَلَا and not صَلَّىٰ he prayed

وَلَـٰكِن But كَذَّبَ he denied وَتَوَلَّىٰ and turned away

ثُمَّ Then ذَهَبَ he went إِلَىٰٓ to أَهْلِهِۦ his family يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ swaggering

أَوْلَىٰ Woe لَكَ to you فَأَوْلَىٰ and woe

ثُمَّ Then أَوْلَىٰ woe لَكَ to you فَأَوْلَىٰٓ and woe

أَيَحْسَبُ Does think ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ man أَن that يُتْرَكَ he will be left سُدًى neglected

أَلَمْ Was not يَكُ he نُطْفَةً a semen-drop مِّن of مَّنِىٍّ semen يُمْنَىٰ emitted

ثُمَّ Then كَانَ he was عَلَقَةً a clinging substance فَخَلَقَ then He created فَسَوَّىٰ and proportioned

فَجَعَلَ Then made مِنْهُ of him ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ two kinds ٱلذَّكَرَ (the) male وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ and the female

أَلَيْسَ Is not ذَٰلِكَ [that] بِقَـٰدِرٍ (He) Able عَلَىٰٓ [over] أَن to يُحْـِۧىَ give life ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ (to) the dead
