- إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ1
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]
- وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ2
And when the stars fall, dispersing
- وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ3
And when the mountains are removed
- وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ4
And when full-term she-camels are neglected
- وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ5
And when the wild beasts are gathered
- وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ6
And when the seas are filled with flame
- وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ7
And when the souls are paired
- وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ8
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
- بِأَيِّ ذَنۢبٖ قُتِلَتۡ9
For what sin she was killed
- وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ10
And when the pages are made public
- وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ11
And when the sky is stripped away
- وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ12
And when Hellfire is set ablaze
- وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ13
And when Paradise is brought near
- عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ14
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]
- فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ15
So I swear by the retreating stars
- ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ16
Those that run [their courses] and disappear
- وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ17
And by the night as it closes in
- وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ18
And by the dawn when it breathes
- إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ19
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
- ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ20
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position]
- مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ21
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy
- وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٖ22
And your companion is not [at all] mad
- وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ23
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon
- وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِينٖ24
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen
- وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطَٰنٖ رَّجِيمٖ25
And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]
- فَأَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُونَ26
So where are you going
- إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ27
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
- لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَسۡتَقِيمَ28
For whoever wills among you to take a right course
- وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ29
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds
