| 1. * | When the heaven bursts asunder, |
| 2. * | And obeys its Lord and it must. |
| 3. * | And when the earth is stretched, |
| 4. * | And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty, |
| 5. * | And obeys its Lord and it must. |
| 6. * | O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him. |
| 7. * | Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand, |
| 8. * | He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning, |
| 9. * | And he shall go back to his people joyful. |
| 10. * | And as to him who is given his book behind his back, |
| 11. * | He shall call for perdition, |
| 12. * | And enter into burning fire. |
| 13. * | Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers. |
| 14. * | Surely he thought that he would never return. |
| 15. * | Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him. |
| 16. * | But nay! I swear by 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 most certainly enter one state after another. |
| 20. * | But what is the matter with them that they do not believe, |
| 21. * | And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance? |
| 22. * | Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth. |
| 23. * | And Allah knows best what they hide, |
| 24. * | So announce to them a painful punishment~ |
| 25. * | Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off. |
