And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ
Ayahsabu al-insanu allannajmaAAa AAithamah
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?
بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ
Bala qadireena AAala annusawwiya bananah
Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ
Bal yureedu al-insanu liyafjura amamah
But man desires to continue in sin.

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

No! There is no refuge.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ

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

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ
Bali al-insanu AAala nafsihibaseera
Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
Walaw alqa maAAatheerah
Even if he presents his excuses.
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
La tuharrik bihi lisanakalitaAAjala bih
Move not your tongue with it, [O Muḥammad], to hasten with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān].
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ
Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waqur-anah
Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ
Fa-itha qara'nahu fattabiAAqur-anah
So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ
Thumma inna AAalayna bayanah
Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ
Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajila
No! But you [i.e., mankind] love the immediate
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ
Watatharoona al-akhira
And leave [i.e., neglect] the Hereafter.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
Wujoohun yawma-ithin nadira
[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
Tathunnu an yufAAala bihafaqira
Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ
Kalla itha balaghati attaraqiy
No! When it [i.e., the soul] has reached the collar bones
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ
Waqeela man raq
And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ

And he [i.e., the dying one] is certain that it is the [time of] separation
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
Waltaffati assaqu bilssaq
And the leg is wound about the leg,
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ
Ila rabbika yawma-ithin almasaq
To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
Fala saddaqa wala salla
And he [i.e., the disbeliever] had not believed, nor had he prayed.
وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Walakin kaththaba watawalla
But [instead], he denied and turned away.
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
Thumma thahaba ila ahlihiyatamatta
And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
Awla laka faawla
Woe to you, and woe!
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ
Thumma awla laka faawla
Then woe to you, and woe!
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
Ayahsabu al-insanu an yutrakasuda
Does man think that he will be left neglected?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ
Alam yaku nutfatan min manayyin yumna
Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Thumma kana AAalaqatan fakhalaqafasawwa
Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allāh] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
FajaAAala minhu azzawjayni aththakarawal-ontha
And made of him two mates, the male and the female.
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
Alaysa thalika biqadirin AAalaan yuhyiya almawta
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
