1. * |
Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.
|
|
2. * |
Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.
|
|
3. * |
Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
|
|
4. * |
Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips
|
|
5. * |
Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.
|
|
6. * |
He asks: When is the day of resurrection?
|
|
7. * |
So when the sight becomes dazed,
|
|
8. * |
And the moon becomes dark,
|
|
9. * |
And the sun and the moon are brought together,
|
|
10. * |
Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
|
|
11. * |
By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!
|
|
12. * |
With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.
|
|
13. * |
Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.
|
|
14. * |
Nay! man is evidence against himself,
|
|
15. * |
Though he puts forth his excuses.
|
|
16. * |
Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
|
|
17. * |
Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
|
|
18. * |
Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
|
|
19. * |
Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
|
|
20. * |
Nay! But you love the present life,
|
|
21. * |
And neglect the hereafter.
|
|
22. * |
(Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
|
|
23. * |
Looking to their Lord.
|
|
24. * |
And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
|
|
25. * |
Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
|
|
26. * |
Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
|
|
27. * |
And it is said: Who will be a magician?
|
|
28. * |
And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
|
|
29. * |
And affliction is combined with affliction;
|
|
30. * |
To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
|
|
31. * |
So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
|
|
32. * |
But called the truth a lie and turned back,
|
|
33. * |
Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
|
|
34. * |
Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
|
|
35. * |
Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
|
|
36. * |
Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
|
|
37. * |
Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
|
|
38. * |
Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
|
|
39. * |
Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
|
|
40. * |
Is not He able to give life to the dead?
