Wala oqsimu bialnnafsi allawwamati

Wakhasafa alqamaru

And the moon darkens

WajumiAAa alshshamsu waalqamaru

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence

Yunabbao alinsanu yawmaithin bima qaddama waakhkhara

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back

Bali alinsanu AAala nafsihi baseeratun

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness

Walaw alqa maAAatheerahu

Even if he presents his excuses

La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an

Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation

And the leg is wound about the leg

Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession

Fala saddaqa wala salla

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed

Walakin kaththaba watawalla

But [instead], he denied and turned away

Thumma thahaba ila ahlihi yatamatta

And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride]

Awla laka faawla

Woe to you, and woe

Thumma awla laka faawla

Then woe to you, and woe

Ayahsabu alinsanu an yutraka sudan

Does man think that he will be left neglected

Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna

Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted

Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqa fasawwa

Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]

FajaAAala minhu alzzawjayni alththakara waalontha

And made of him two mates, the male and the female

Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAala an yuhyiya almawta

Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead
