| 1. * | When the event befalleth - |
| 2. * | There is no denying that it will befall - |
| 3. * | Abasing (some), exalting (others); |
| 4. * | When the earth is shaken with a shock |
| 5. * | And the hills are ground to powder |
| 6. * | So that they become a scattered dust, |
| 7. * | And ye will be three kinds: |
| 8. * | (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? |
| 9. * | And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand? |
| 10. * | And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race: |
| 11. * | Those are they who will be brought nigh |
| 12. * | In gardens of delight; |
| 13. * | A multitude of those of old |
| 14. * | And a few of those of later time. |
| 15. * | On lined couches, |
| 16. * | Reclining therein face to face. |
| 17. * | There wait on them immortal youths |
| 18. * | With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring |
| 19. * | Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness, |
| 20. * | And fruit that they prefer |
| 21. * | And flesh of fowls that they desire. |
| 22. * | And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes, |
| 23. * | Like unto hidden pearls, |
| 24. * | Reward for what they used to do. |
| 25. * | There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination |
| 26. * | (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace. |
| 27. * | And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand? |
| 28. * | Among thornless lote-trees |
| 29. * | And clustered plantains, |
| 30. * | And spreading shade, |
| 31. * | And water gushing, |
| 32. * | And fruit in plenty |
| 33. * | Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden, |
| 34. * | And raised couches; |
| 35. * | Lo! We have created them a (new) creation |
| 36. * | And made them virgins, |
| 37. * | Lovers, friends, |
| 38. * | For those on the right hand; |
| 39. * | A multitude of those of old |
| 40. * | And a multitude of those of later time. |
| 41. * | And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand? |
| 42. * | In scorching wind and scalding water |
| 43. * | And shadow of black smoke, |
| 44. * | Neither cool nor refreshing. |
| 45. * | Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury |
| 46. * | And used to persist in the awful sin. |
| 47. * | And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again, |
| 48. * | And also our forefathers? |
| 49. * | Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time |
| 50. * | Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day. |
| 51. * | Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers, |
| 52. * | Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum |
| 53. * | And will fill your bellies therewith; |
| 54. * | And thereon ye will drink of boiling water, |
| 55. * | Drinking even as the camel drinketh. |
| 56. * | This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment. |
| 57. * | We created you. Will ye then admit the truth? |
| 58. * | Have ye seen that which ye emit? |
| 59. * | Do ye create it or are We the Creator? |
| 60. * | We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun, |
| 61. * | That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not. |
| 62. * | And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect? |
| 63. * | Have ye seen that which ye cultivate? |
| 64. * | Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer? |
| 65. * | If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim: |
| 66. * | Lo! we are laden with debt! |
| 67. * | Nay, but we are deprived! |
| 68. * | Have ye observed the water which ye drink? |
| 69. * | Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder? |
| 70. * | If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks? |
| 71. * | Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out; |
| 72. * | Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower? |
| 73. * | We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness. |
| 74. * | Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous. |
| 75. * | Nay, I swear by the places of the stars - |
| 76. * | And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew - |
| 77. * | That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an |
| 78. * | In a Book kept hidden |
| 79. * | Which none toucheth save the purified, |
| 80. * | A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. |
| 81. * | Is it this Statement that ye scorn, |
| 82. * | And make denial thereof your livelihood? |
| 83. * | Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying) |
| 84. * | And ye are at that moment looking |
| 85. * | - And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not - |
| 86. * | Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us), |
| 87. * | Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful? |
| 88. * | Thus if he is of those brought nigh, |
| 89. * | Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight. |
| 90. * | And if he is of those on the right hand, |
| 91. * | Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand. |
| 92. * | But if he is of the rejecters, the erring, |
| 93. * | Then the welcome will be boiling water |
| 94. * | And roasting at hell-fire. |
| 95. * | Lo! this is certain truth. |
| 96. * | Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous. |
