بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ
Izas samaaa'un fatarat
When the heaven is split asunder,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ
Wa izal kawaakibun tasarat
when the stars are scattered,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
Wa izal bihaaru fujjirat
when the seas are made to burst forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
Wa izal qubooru bu'sirat
and when graves are laid open,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
'Alimat nafsum maa qaddamat wa akhkharat
everyone shall know all his deeds, both the earlier and the later.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ
Yaaa ayyuhal insaaanu maa gharraka bi Rabbikal kareem
O man! What has deceived you about your generous Lord
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
Allazee khalaqaka fasaw waaka fa'adalak
Who created you, shaped you, and made you well-proportioned,
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍۢ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
Feee ayye sooratim maa shaaa'a rakkabak
and set you in whatever form He pleased?
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
Kalla bal tukazziboona bid deen
No indeed; (the fact is that) you deny the Reckoning, declaring it a lie;
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
Wa inna 'alaikum lahaa fizeen
you do so the while there are watchers over you;
كِرَامًۭا كَٰتِبِينَ
Kiraaman kaatibeen
noble scribes,
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Ya'lamoona ma taf'aloon
who know what you do.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍۢ
Innal abraara lafee na'eem
Surely the virtuous shall be in Bliss,
وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍۢ
Wa innal fujjaara lafee jaheem
and the wicked shall be in the Blazing Fire.
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
Yaslawnahaa Yawmad Deen
They shall enter it on the Day of Recompense
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
Wa maa hum 'anhaa bighaaa 'ibeen
and then shall never come out of it.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Wa maaa adraaka maa Yawmud Deen
What do you know what the Day of Recompense is?
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
Summa maaa adraaka maa Yawmud Deen
Again, what do you know what the Day of Recompense is?
يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌۭ لِّنَفْسٍۢ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلَّهِ
Yawma laa tamliku nafsul linafsin shai'anw walamru yawma'izil lillaah
It is the Day when no one shall have the power to do anything for another, and all command shall be Allah's.
