وَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ۝٢

Ali Quli Qara'i

And I swear by the self-blaming soul

walā uq'simu bil-nafsi l-lawāmat

أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ۝٣

Ali Quli Qara'i

Does man suppose that We shall not put together his bones

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِینَ عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّسَوِّیَ بَنَانَهُۥ ۝٤

Ali Quli Qara'i

Yes indeed, We are able to proportion [even] his fingertips

بَلۡ یُرِیدُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ لِیَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ۝٥

Ali Quli Qara'i

Rather man desires to go on living viciously

bal yurīdu l-insānu liyafjura amāmah

یَسۡءَلُ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ ۝٦

Ali Quli Qara'i

He asks, ‘When is this day of resurrection?!’

yasalu ayyāna yawmu l-qiyāmat

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ ۝٧

Ali Quli Qara'i

But when the eyes are dazzled

fa-idhā bariqa l-baṣar

وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝٨

Ali Quli Qara'i

and the moon is eclipsed

wakhasafa l-qamar

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝٩

Ali Quli Qara'i

and the sun and the moon are brought together

wajumiʿa l-shamsu wal-qamar

یَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ أَیۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ ۝١٠

Ali Quli Qara'i

that day man will say, ‘Where is the escape?’

yaqūlu l-insānu yawma-idhin ayna l-mafar

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ۝١١

Ali Quli Qara'i

No indeed! There is no refuge

kallā lā wazar

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ ۝١٢

Ali Quli Qara'i

That day the abode will be toward your Lord

Ali Quli Qara'i

That day man will be informed about what he has sent ahead and left behind

وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِیرَهُۥ ۝١٥

Ali Quli Qara'i

though he should offer his excuses

walaw alqā maʿādhīrah

لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦۤ ۝١٦

Ali Quli Qara'i

Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it

lā tuḥarrik bihi lisānaka litaʿjala bih

إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ ۝١٧

Ali Quli Qara'i

Indeed it is up to Us to put it together and to recite it

inna ʿalaynā jamʿahu waqur'ānah

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ ۝١٨

Ali Quli Qara'i

And when We have recited it, follow its recitation

fa-idhā qaranāhu fa-ittabiʿ qur'ānah

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا بَیَانَهُۥ ۝١٩

Ali Quli Qara'i

Then, its exposition indeed [also] lies with Us

thumma inna ʿalaynā bayānah

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢٠

Ali Quli Qara'i

No Indeed! Rather you love this transitory lif

kallā bal tuḥibbūna l-ʿājilat

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةَ ۝٢١

Ali Quli Qara'i

and forsake the Hereafter

watadharūna l-ākhirat

وُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ نَّاضِرَةٌ ۝٢٢

Some faces will be fresh on that day

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةࣱ ۝٢٣

Ali Quli Qara'i

looking at their Lord

ilā rabbihā nāẓiratu

وَوُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بَاسِرَةࣱ ۝٢٤

Ali Quli Qara'i

and some faces will be scowling on that day

wawujūhun yawma-idhin bāsiratu

تَظُنُّ أَن یُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةࣱ ۝٢٥

Ali Quli Qara'i

knowing that they will be dealt out a punishment breaking the spine

taẓunnu an yuf'ʿala bihā fāqiratu

كَلَّاۤ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِیَ ۝٢٦

Ali Quli Qara'i

No indeed! When the soul reaches up to the collar bones

kallā idhā balaghati l-tarāqiy

وَقِیلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقࣲ ۝٢٧

Ali Quli Qara'i

and it is said, ‘Who will take him up?’

waqīla man rāqi

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ ۝٢٨

Ali Quli Qara'i

and he knows that it is the [time of] parting

waẓanna annahu l-firāq

وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ۝٢٩

Ali Quli Qara'i

and each shank clasps the other shank

wal-tafati l-sāqu bil-sāq

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ ۝٣٠

Ali Quli Qara'i

that day he shall be driven toward your Lord

ilā rabbika yawma-idhin l-masāq

2 The Dead Rise

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ۝٣١

Ali Quli Qara'i

He neither confirmed [the truth], nor prayed

falā ṣaddaqa walā ṣall

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝٣٢

Ali Quli Qara'i

but denied [it] and turned away

walākin kadhaba watawall

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ یَتَمَطَّىٰۤ ۝٣٣

Ali Quli Qara'i

and went swaggering to his family

thumma dhahaba ilā ahlihi yatamaṭṭ

أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ ۝٣٤

Ali Quli Qara'i

So woe to you! Woe to you

awlā laka fa-awl

ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰۤ ۝٣٥

Ali Quli Qara'i

Again, woe to you! Woe to you

thumma awlā laka fa-awl

أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَن یُتۡرَكَ سُدًى ۝٣٦

Ali Quli Qara'i

Does man suppose that he would be abandoned to futility

ayaḥsabu l-insānu an yut'raka suda

أَلَمۡ یَكُ نُطۡفَةࣰ مِّن مَّنِیࣲّ یُمۡنَىٰ ۝٣٧

Ali Quli Qara'i

Was he not a drop of emitted semen

alam yaku nuṭ'fatan min maniyyin yum'n

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةࣰ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝٣٨

Ali Quli Qara'i

Then he became a clinging mass; then He created [him] and proportioned [him]

thumma kāna ʿalaqatan fakhalaqa fasaww

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَیۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ ۝٣٩

Ali Quli Qara'i

and made of him the two sexes, the male and the female

fajaʿala min'hu l-zawjayni l-dhakara wal-unth

أَلَیۡسَ ذَ ٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰۤ أَن یُحۡـِۧیَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ ۝٤٠

Ali Quli Qara'i

Is not such a one able to revive the dead
