| 1. * | When the heaven bursts asunder, |
| 2. * | And listens to its Lord and is made fit; |
| 3. * | And when the earth is stretched, |
| 4. * | And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty, |
| 5. * | And listens to its Lord and is made fit. |
| 6. * | O man, thou must strive a hard striving (to attain) to thy Lord, until thou meet Him. |
| 7. * | Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand, |
| 8. * | His account will be taken by an easy reckoning, |
| 9. * | And he will go back to his people rejoicing. |
| 10. * | And as to him who is given his book behind his back, |
| 11. * | He will call for perdition, |
| 12. * | And enter into burning Fire. |
| 13. * | Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his people. |
| 14. * | Surely he thought that he would never return (to Allah) -- |
| 15. * | Yea, surely his Lord is ever Seer of him. |
| 16. * | But nay, I call to witness the sunset redness, |
| 17. * | And the night and that which it drives on, |
| 18. * | And the moon when it grows full, |
| 19. * | That you shall certainly ascend to one state after another. |
| 20. * | But what is the matter with them that they believe not? |
| 21. * | And, when the Qur’an is recited to thee, they adore (him) not? |
| 22. * | Nay, those who disbelieve give the lie -- |
| 23. * | And Allah knows best what they hide. |
| 24. * | So announce to them a painful chastisement, |
| 25. * | Except those who believe and do good -- for them is a reward that shall never be cut off. |
