بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
Laaa uqsimu bi yawmil qiyaamah
I swear by the Day of Resurrection
وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
Wa laaa uqsimu bin nafsil lawwaamah
And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ
Ayahsabul insaanu al lan najm'a 'izaamah
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?
بَلَىٰ قَادِرِينَ عَلَىٰ أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ
Balaa qaadireena 'alaaa an nusawwiya banaanah
Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ
Bal yureedul insaanu liyafjura amaamah
But man desires to continue in sin.
يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ
Yas'alu ayyyaana yawmul qiyaamah
He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ
Fa izaa bariqal basar
So when vision is dazzled
وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ
We khasafal qamar
And the moon darkens
وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ
Wa jumi'ash shamusu wal qamar
And the sun and the moon are joined,
يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ
Yaqoolul insaanu yaw ma 'izin aynal mafarr
Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"
