وَإِذَا اَ۬لۡبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتۡ

And the oceans spill forth

4

وَإِذَا اَ۬لۡقُبُورُ بُعۡثِرَتۡ

And the graves are overturned (and emptied)

5

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسࣱ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ وَأَخَّرَتۡ

(That is the day when) every soul would learn everything it did, that which it sent ahead, and that which it left behind

6

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ اَ۬لۡكَرِيمِ

(Oh people)! What has lured you away from your Lord, the most Eminent, the Generous

7

اِ۬لَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَّلَكَ

The One Who created you, fashioned you, and gave you (the right) proportions

8

فِيٓ أَيِّ صُورَةࣲ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ

In whatever form He willed, He brought you into being

9

كَلَّا بَلۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ

11

كِرَامࣰ ا كَٰتِبِينَ

The noble scribes, (the angels)

12

يَعۡلَمُونَ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ

They know everything you do

13

إِنَّ اَ۬لۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمࣲ‏

Of course, the pious would be in bliss

14

وَإِنَّ اَ۬لۡفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمࣲ‏

And the wicked would surely be in hellfire

15

يَصۡلَوۡنَهَا يَوۡمَ اَ۬لدِّينِ

They shall join it on the Day of Judgment

16

وَمَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ

And (thereafter) they shall never (be allowed to) remain absent from it

17

وَمَآ أَدۡر۪ىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ اُ۬لدِّينِ

What can make you grasp the reality of the Day of Judgment

18

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدۡر۪ىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ اُ۬لدِّينِ

(Think) again! What can make you grasp the reality of the Day of Judgment

19

يَوۡمُ لَا تَمۡلِكُ نَفۡسࣱ لِّنَفۡسࣲ شَيۡـࣰٔ اۖ وَاَلۡأَمۡرُ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلَّهِ

That day, no soul shall have any power to do anything at all for anyone else. That day, the command will belong to Allah (exclusively)
