إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ ﴿١﴾
Izas samaaa'un fatarat
When the heaven is cleft asunder,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ ﴿٢﴾
Wa izal kawaakibun tasarat
When the planets are dispersed,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ﴿٣﴾
Wa izal bihaaru fujjirat
When the seas are poured forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ ﴿٤﴾
Wa izal qubooru bu'sirat
And the sepulchres are overturned,
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ﴿٥﴾
'Alimat nafsum maa qaddamat wa akhkharat
A soul will know what it hath sent before (it) and what left behind.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ ﴿٦﴾
Yaaa ayyuhal insaaanu maa gharraka bi Rabbikal kareem
O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord, the Bountiful,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ﴿٧﴾
Allazee khalaqaka fasaw waaka fa'adalak
Who created thee, then fashioned, then proportioned thee?
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍۢ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ ﴿٨﴾
Feee ayye sooratim maa shaaa'a rakkabak
Into whatsoever form He will, He casteth thee.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ ﴿٩﴾
Kalla bal tukazziboona bid deen
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment.
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ ﴿١٠﴾
Wa inna 'alaikum lahaa fizeen
Lo! there are above you guardians,
كِرَامًۭا كَٰتِبِينَ ﴿١١﴾
Kiraaman kaatibeen
Generous and recording,
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿١٢﴾
Ya'lamoona ma taf'aloon
Who know (all) that ye do.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍۢ ﴿١٣﴾

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿١٥﴾
Yaslawnahaa Yawmad Deen
They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment,
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ ﴿١٦﴾
Wa maa hum 'anhaa bighaaa 'ibeen
And will not be absent thence.
