إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ ١
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ ١
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ ٢
When the Stars are scattered;
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ٣
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ ٤
And when the Graves are turned upside down;-
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ ٥
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ ٦
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?-
الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ ٧
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
