| 1. * | When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up; |
| 2. * | When the stars fall, losing their lustre; |
| 3. * | When the mountains vanish (like a mirage); |
| 4. * | When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended; |
| 5. * | When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations); |
| 6. * | When the oceans boil over with a swell; |
| 7. * | When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like); |
| 8. * | When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - |
| 9. * | For what crime she was killed; |
| 10. * | When the scrolls are laid open; |
| 11. * | When the world on High is unveiled; |
| 12. * | When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat; |
| 13. * | And when the Garden is brought near;- |
| 14. * | (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. |
| 15. * | So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, |
| 16. * | Go straight, or hide; |
| 17. * | And the Night as it dissipates; |
| 18. * | And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;- |
| 19. * | Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, |
| 20. * | Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, |
| 21. * | With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust. |
| 22. * | And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; |
| 23. * | And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon. |
| 24. * | Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. |
| 25. * | Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. |
| 26. * | When whither go ye? |
| 27. * | Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: |
| 28. * | (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight: |
| 29. * | But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. |
