وَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ۝٢

And, no! I swear by the reproaching (inner) self.

walā uq'simu bil-nafsi l-lawāmat

أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ۝٣

Does man think that We will not reassemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِینَ عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّسَوِّیَ بَنَانَهُۥ ۝٤

Yes indeed; We are Able to form his very fingertips.

balā qādirīna ʿalā an nusawwiya banānah

بَلۡ یُرِیدُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ لِیَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ۝٥

Rather, man wants to commit vice ever onward.

یَسۡءَلُ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ ۝٦

So, when the sight is dazzled,

fa-idhā bariqa l-baṣar

وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝٨

and the moon is eclipsed,

wakhasafa l-qamar

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ ۝٩

and the sun and the moon are joined together—

wajumiʿa l-shamsu wal-qamar

یَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ أَیۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ ۝١٠

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ۝١١

But no! There is no refuge.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ ۝١٢

To yoursg Lord on that day everything comes to reside.

ilā rabbika yawma-idhin l-mus'taqar

یُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ۝١٣

Man is informed on that day of whatever he put forth and whatever he left behind.

yunabba-u l-insānu yawma-idhin bimā qaddama wa-akhar

بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِیرَةࣱ ۝١٤

Rather, man is an eyewitness against himself,

bali l-insānu ʿalā nafsihi baṣīratu

وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِیرَهُۥ ۝١٥

even as he presents his excuses.

walaw alqā maʿādhīrah

لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦۤ ۝١٦

Do not rush yoursg tongue with it to hurry on with it.

lā tuḥarrik bihi lisānaka litaʿjala bih

إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ ۝١٧

Indeed, upon Us is its collection and its recitation.

inna ʿalaynā jamʿahu waqur'ānah

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ ۝١٨

So, when We have recited it, followsg its recitation;

fa-idhā qaranāhu fa-ittabiʿ qur'ānah

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا بَیَانَهُۥ ۝١٩

then upon Us is its explanation.

thumma inna ʿalaynā bayānah

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢٠

But no! Rather, youpl love the fleeting life

kallā bal tuḥibbūna l-ʿājilat

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةَ ۝٢١

and you leave aside the Hereafter.

watadharūna l-ākhirat

وُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ نَّاضِرَةٌ ۝٢٢

Some faces on that day are radiant,

wujūhun yawma-idhin nāḍiratu

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةࣱ ۝٢٣

looking towards their Lord.

ilā rabbihā nāẓiratu

وَوُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بَاسِرَةࣱ ۝٢٤

And some faces on that day are gloomy,

wawujūhun yawma-idhin bāsiratu

تَظُنُّ أَن یُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةࣱ ۝٢٥

expecting that a back-breaking blow will be dealt them.

taẓunnu an yuf'ʿala bihā fāqiratu

كَلَّاۤ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِیَ ۝٢٦

But no! Rather, when it has reached the collarbone,

kallā idhā balaghati l-tarāqiy

وَقِیلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقࣲ ۝٢٧

and it is said, “Who is the healer?”

waqīla man rāqi

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ ۝٢٨

And one realizes that it is the final departure,

waẓanna annahu l-firāq

وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ۝٢٩

and leg is entwined with leg—

wal-tafati l-sāqu bil-sāq

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ ۝٣٠

to yoursg Lord on that day is the driving (of people).

ilā rabbika yawma-idhin l-masāq

2 The Dead Rise

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ۝٣١

Then, (as for) one who neither believed nor prayed,

falā ṣaddaqa walā ṣall

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝٣٢

but disbelieved and turned away,

walākin kadhaba watawall

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰۤ أَهۡلِهِۦ یَتَمَطَّىٰۤ ۝٣٣

then went to his family, strutting—

thumma dhahaba ilā ahlihi yatamaṭṭ

أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰ ۝٣٤

(this punishment is) more and more suitable for yousg.

awlā laka fa-awl

ثُمَّ أَوۡلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوۡلَىٰۤ ۝٣٥

Then again, more and more suitable for you.

thumma awlā laka fa-awl

أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَن یُتۡرَكَ سُدًى ۝٣٦

Does man think that he will be left without purpose?

ayaḥsabu l-insānu an yut'raka suda

أَلَمۡ یَكُ نُطۡفَةࣰ مِّن مَّنِیࣲّ یُمۡنَىٰ ۝٣٧

Was he not a drop of emitted semen?

alam yaku nuṭ'fatan min maniyyin yum'n

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةࣰ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝٣٨

Then he became a clinging form, which He then created and formed?

thumma kāna ʿalaqatan fakhalaqa fasaww

فَجَعَلَ مِنۡهُ ٱلزَّوۡجَیۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ ۝٣٩

And made of him the two spouses, the male and the female?

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

أَلَیۡسَ ذَ ٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰۤ أَن یُحۡـِۧیَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ ۝٤٠

Is not that One able to revive the dead?
