لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
1. I swear by the Day of Resurrection
وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
2. And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ
3. Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?
بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ
4. Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ
5. But man desires to continue in sin.
يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ
6. He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ
7. So when vision is dazzled
وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ
8. And the moon darkens
وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ
9. And the sun and the moon are joined,
يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ
10. Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"
