بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
idhā l-samāu infaṭarat
When the sky splits open,
wa-idhā l-kawākibu intatharat
and when the stars fall away,
wa-idhā l-biḥāru fujjirat
and when the seas burst forth,
wa-idhā l-qubūru buʿ'thirat
and when the graves spill out,
ʿalimat nafsun mā qaddamat wa-akharat
˹then˺ each soul will know what it has sent forth or left behind.
yāayyuhā l-insānu mā gharraka birabbika l-karīmi
O humanity! What has emboldened you against your Lord, the Most Generous,
alladhī khalaqaka fasawwāka faʿadalaka
Who created you, fashioned you, and perfected your design,
fī ayyi ṣūratin mā shāa rakkabaka
moulding you in whatever form He willed?
kallā bal tukadhibūna bil-dīni
But no! In fact, you deny the ˹final˺ Judgment,
wa-inna ʿalaykum laḥāfiẓīna
while you are certainly observed by vigilant,
kirāman kātibīna
honourable angels, recording ˹everything˺.
yaʿlamūna mā tafʿalūna
They know whatever you do.
inna l-abrāra lafī naʿīmin
Indeed, the virtuous will be in bliss,
wa-inna l-fujāra lafī jaḥīmin
and the wicked will be in Hell,
yaṣlawnahā yawma l-dīni
burning in it on Judgment Day,
wamā hum ʿanhā bighāibīna
and they will have no escape from it.
wamā adrāka mā yawmu l-dīni
What will make you realize what Judgment Day is?
thumma mā adrāka mā yawmu l-dīni
Again, what will make you realize what Judgment Day is?
yawma lā tamliku nafsun linafsin shayan wal-amru yawma-idhin lillahi
˹It is˺ the Day no soul will be of ˹any˺ benefit to another whatsoever, for all authority on that Day belongs to Allah ˹entirely˺.
