وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

Obeying its Lord, as in truth it is expected to do so and always does

And when the earth is flattened out

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

And casts forth whatever is in it and becomes empty

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

Obeying its Lord, as in truth it is expected to do so and always does

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

O human! You are ever toiling toward your Lord in a labor to be re-encountered (before His judgment)

Ya ayyuha al-insanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

Then, as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

Surely he will be reckoned with by an easy reckoning

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

And will return in joy to his household (prepared for him in Paradise)

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

But as for him who will be given his Record (in his left hand) from behind his back

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

He will surely pray for destruction

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

And enter the Flame to roast

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

For indeed he used to be in joyous conceit among his household (in his earthly life)

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

He thought that he would never return (to God for judgment)

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

No indeed! Rather, his Lord was ever seeing him

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

So I swear by the afterglow of sunset

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

And the night, and all that it enshrouds (by degrees)

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

And the moon, as it grows full

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

You will most certainly move on from one state to another (congruous with it)

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

What, then, is the matter with them that they do not believe

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

And when the Qur’an is recited to them, they do not prostrate in submission (to its Message)

Wa-itha quri-a AAalayhimu alqur-anu la yasjudoona

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

Rather: those who disbelieve deny (it and its Message)

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them the glad tidings of a painful punishment

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

Except for those who believe and do good, righteous deeds: for them there is a reward constant and beyond measure
