(1)
لَآ
Nay!
أُقْسِمُ
I swear
بِيَوْمِ
by (the) Day
ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
(2)
وَلَآ
And nay!
أُقْسِمُ
I swear
بِٱلنَّفْسِ
by the soul
ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
self-accusing
(3)
أَيَحْسَبُ
Does think
ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ
[the] man
أَلَّن
that not
نَّجْمَعَ
We will assemble
عِظَامَهُۥ
his bones?
(4)
بَلَىٰ
Nay!
قَٰدِرِينَ
[We are] able
عَلَىٰٓ
on
أَن
that
نُّسَوِّىَ
We can restore
بَنَانَهُۥ
his fingertips
(5)
بَلْ
Nay!
يُرِيدُ
Desires
ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ
[the] man
لِيَفْجُرَ
to give (the) lie
أَمَامَهُۥ
(to) what is before him
(6)
يَسْـَٔلُ
He asks
أَيَّانَ
"When
يَوْمُ
(is the) Day
ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection?"
(7)
فَإِذَا
So when
بَرِقَ
is dazzled
ٱلْبَصَرُ
the vision
(8)
وَخَسَفَ
And becomes dark
ٱلْقَمَرُ
the moon
(9)
وَجُمِعَ
And are joined
ٱلشَّمْسُ
the sun
وَٱلْقَمَرُ
and the moon
(10)
يَقُولُ
Will say
ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ
[the] man
يَوْمَئِذٍ
that Day
أَيْنَ
"Where
ٱلْمَفَرُّ
(is) the escape?"
(11)
كَلَّا
By no means!
لَا
(There is) no
وَزَرَ
refuge
(12)
إِلَىٰ
To
رَبِّكَ
your Lord
يَوْمَئِذٍ
that Day
ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ
(is) the place of rest
(13)
يُنَبَّؤُا۟
Will be informed
ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ
[the] man
يَوْمَئِذٍۭ
that Day
بِمَا
of what
قَدَّمَ
he sent forth
وَأَخَّرَ
and kept back
(14)
بَلِ
Nay!
ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ
[The] man
عَلَىٰ
against
نَفْسِهِۦ
himself
بَصِيرَةٌ
(will be) a witness
(15)
وَلَوْ
Even if
أَلْقَىٰ
he presents
مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
his excuses
(16)
لَا
Not
تُحَرِّكْ
move
بِهِۦ
with it
لِسَانَكَ
your tongue
لِتَعْجَلَ
to hasten
بِهِۦٓ
with it
(17)
إِنَّ
Indeed
عَلَيْنَا
upon Us
جَمْعَهُۥ
(is) its collection
وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ
and its recitation
(18)
فَإِذَا
And when
قَرَأْنَٰهُ
We have recited it
فَٱتَّبِعْ
then follow
قُرْءَانَهُۥ
its recitation
(19)
ثُمَّ
Then
إِنَّ
indeed
عَلَيْنَا
upon Us
بَيَانَهُۥ
(is) its explanation
(20)
كَلَّا
No!
بَلْ
But
تُحِبُّونَ
you love
ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ
the immediate
