بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
Izas samaaa'un shaqqat
When the heaven bursts asunder,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Wa azinat li Rabbihaa wa huqqat
And obeys its Lord and it must.
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
Wa izal ardu muddat
And when the earth is stretched,
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
Wa alqat maa feehaa wa takhallat
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Wa azinat li Rabbihaa wa huqqat
And obeys its Lord and it must.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Yaaa ayyuhal insaanu innaka kaadihun ilaa Rabbika kad han famulaaqeeh
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Fa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo biyameenih
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا
Fasawfa yuhaasabu hi saabai yaseeraa
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًۭا
Wa yanqalibu ilaaa ahlihee masrooraa
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
Wa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo waraaa'a zahrih
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًۭا
Fasawfa yad'oo subooraa
He shall call for perdition,
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Wa yaslaa sa'eeraa
And enter into burning fire.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Innahoo kaana feee ahlihee masrooraa
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Innahoo zanna al lai yahoor
Surely he thought that he would never return.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا
Balaaa inna Rabbahoo kaana bihee baseeraa
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
Falaaa uqsimu bishshafaq
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
Wallaili wa maa wasaq
And the night and that which it drives on,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
Walqamari izat tasaq
And the moon when it grows full,
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ
Latarkabunna tabaqan 'an tabaq
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Famaa lahum laa yu'minoon
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
Wa izaa quri'a 'alaihimul Quraanu laa yasjudoon
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
Balil lazeena kafaroo yukazziboon
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
Wallaahu a'lamu bimaa yoo'oon
And Allah knows best what they hide,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Fabashshirhum bi'azaabin aleem
So announce to them a painful punishment~
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
Illal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati lahum ajrun ghairu mamnoon
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
