(1)
إِذَا
When
ٱلشَّمْسُ
the sun
كُوِّرَتْ
is wrapped up
(2)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلنُّجُومُ
the stars
ٱنكَدَرَتْ
fall losing their luster
(3)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلْجِبَالُ
the mountains
سُيِّرَتْ
are moved away
(4)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلْعِشَارُ
the full-term she-camels
عُطِّلَتْ
(are) left untended;
(5)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلْوُحُوشُ
the wild beasts
حُشِرَتْ
are gathered
(6)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلْبِحَارُ
the seas
سُجِّرَتْ
are made to overflow
(7)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلنُّفُوسُ
the souls
زُوِّجَتْ
are paired
(8)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ
the female infant buried alive
سُئِلَتْ
is asked
(9)
بِأَىِّ
For what
ذَنۢبٍ
sin
قُتِلَتْ
she was killed
(10)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلصُّحُفُ
the pages
نُشِرَتْ
are laid open
(11)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلسَّمَآءُ
the sky
كُشِطَتْ
is stripped away
(12)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلْجَحِيمُ
the Hellfire
سُعِّرَتْ
is set ablaze
(13)
وَإِذَا
And when
ٱلْجَنَّةُ
Paradise
أُزْلِفَتْ
is brought near
(14)
عَلِمَتْ
Will know
نَفْسٌ
a soul
مَّآ
what
أَحْضَرَتْ
it has brought
(15)
فَلَآ
But nay!
أُقْسِمُ
I swear
بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
by the retreating planets
(16)
ٱلْجَوَارِ
Those that run
ٱلْكُنَّسِ
(and) disappear
(17)
وَٱلَّيْلِ
And the night
إِذَا
when
عَسْعَسَ
it departs
(18)
وَٱلصُّبْحِ
And the dawn
إِذَا
when
تَنَفَّسَ
it breathes
(19)
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed it
لَقَوْلُ
(is) surely a word
رَسُولٍ
(of) a Messenger
كَرِيمٍ
noble
(20)
ذِى
Possessor of
قُوَّةٍ

ٱلْعَرْشِ
the Throne
