فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

and say to him: ´Are you willing to be purified

Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا

Its knowledge rests with your Lord

You are only a warner to him who has a fear of it

Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا

On the Day they see it, they will feel as though they had stayed (in the grave) no more than one evening or one morning
