| 1. * | Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection; |
| 2. * | Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true). |
| 3. * | Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones? |
| 4. * | Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers! |
| 5. * | But man would fain deny what is before him. |
| 6. * | He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection? |
| 7. * | But when sight is confounded |
| 8. * | And the moon is eclipsed |
| 9. * | And sun and moon are united, |
| 10. * | On that day man will cry: Whither to flee! |
| 11. * | Alas! No refuge! |
| 12. * | Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day. |
| 13. * | On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind. |
| 14. * | Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself, |
| 15. * | Although he tender his excuses. |
| 16. * | Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it. |
| 17. * | Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof. |
| 18. * | And when We read it, follow thou the reading; |
| 19. * | Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof. |
| 20. * | Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now |
| 21. * | And neglect the Hereafter. |
| 22. * | That day will faces be resplendent, |
| 23. * | Looking toward their Lord; |
| 24. * | And that day will other faces be despondent, |
| 25. * | Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them. |
| 26. * | Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat |
| 27. * | And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now)? |
| 28. * | And he knoweth that it is the parting; |
| 29. * | And agony is heaped on agony; |
| 30. * | Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving. |
| 31. * | For he neither trusted, nor prayed. |
| 32. * | But he denied and flouted. |
| 33. * | Then went he to his folk with glee. |
| 34. * | Nearer unto thee and nearer, |
| 35. * | Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom). |
| 36. * | Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless? |
| 37. * | Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth? |
| 38. * | Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned |
| 39. * | And made of him a pair, the male and female. |
| 40. * | Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life? |
