| 1 | When the heaven is cleft asunder, |
| 2 | When the planets are dispersed, |
| 3 | When the seas are poured forth, |
| 4 | And the sepulchres are overturned, |
| 5 | A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind. |
| 6 | O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful, |
| 7 | Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee ? |
| 8 | Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee. |
| 9 | Nay, but ye deny the Judgment. |
| 10 | Lo! there are above you guardians, |
| 11 | Generous and recording, |
| 12 | Who know (all) that ye do. |
| 13 | Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight. |
| 14 | And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell; |
| 15 | They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment, |
| 16 | And will not be absent thence. |
| 17 | Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is! |
| 18 | Again, what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is! |
| 19 | A day on which no soul hath power at all for any (other) soul. The (absolute) command on that day is Allah's. |
