(1)إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ
When the heaven is split asunder
(2) وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّہَا وَحُقَّتۡ
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
(3) وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ
And when the earth is spread out
(4) وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيہَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
(5) وَأَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّہَا وَحُقَّتۡ
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
(6) يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدۡحً۬ا فَمُلَـٰقِيهِ
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet in His presence.
(7) فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُ ۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
(8) فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابً۬ا يَسِيرً۬ا
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
(9) وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورً۬ا
And will return unto his folk in joy.
(10) وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِىَ كِتَـٰبَهُ ۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهِۦ
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
(11) فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُواْ ثُبُورً۬ا
He surely will invoke destruction
(12) وَيَصۡلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
And be thrown to scorching fire.
(13) إِنَّهُ ۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ مَسۡرُورًا
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
(14) إِنَّهُ ۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
He verily deemed that he would never return unto Allah.
(15) بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ ۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرً۬ا
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
(16) فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
(17) وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
(18) وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
And by the moon when she is at the full,
(19) لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ۬
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
(20) فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
(21) وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡہِمُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ لَا يَسۡجُدُونَ ۩
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not Allah?
(22) بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
(23) وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
(24) فَبَشِّرۡهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
(25) إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمۡ أَجۡرٌ غَيۡرُ مَمۡنُونِۭ
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
