وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And responds to its Lord, and it is bound [to respond.

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ

And when the earth is levelled

Wa-itha al-ardu muddat

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

And responds to its Lord, and it is bound [to respond.

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ

O human! You do indeed have to put in hard labour to go to your Lord, and then you meet Him

Ya ayyuha al-insanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ

And as for him whose book of deeds is placed in his right hand

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا

He will then face his accounting with ease

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

And he will turn to his own people in joy

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ

And as for him whose book of deeds is given to him behind his back

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا

He will pray for [his own death and] destruction

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

And he will burn in blazing Fire

Wayasla saAAeeran

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا

He had indeed been living happily engrossed [on earth] among people of his own kind

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ

He had indeed thought he would never return [to life]

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

بَلَىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا

Yes indeed! His Lord had kept a watch over him

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

But no! [He shall not continue to remain dead.] I swear by the afterglow of sunset

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

And by the night, and what it veils in its darkness

Waallayli wama wasaqa

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

And by the moon, at its full

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

You [humans] do move from stage to stage

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Then how come they believe not [in a life to come

Fama lahum la yu/minoona

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ

And when the Qur'aan is read out to them, they prostrate not!

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

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

On the contrary, they who suppress the truth dny it [this divine writ]

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

And Allah knows what they keep to themselves

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

So give them the prospect of grievous suffering [in the life to come]

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

But not to those who believe and do good deeds. For them is there a reward unending

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
