3

وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

4

وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

And when the Graves are turned upside down --

5

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

 (Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.

6

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ

7

الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;

8

فِي أَيِّ صُورَةٍ مَا شَاءَ رَكَّبَكَ

In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.

9

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِ

Nay! but ye do Reject Right and Judgment!

10

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ 

But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you --

11

كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ

Kind and honorable, writing down (your deeds):

12

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

13

إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

As for the Righteous, they will be in Bliss;

14

وَإِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ

And the Wicked -- they will be in the Fire,

15

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment.

16

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ

17

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?

18

ثُمَّ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?

19

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا ۖ

وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ

for the Command, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
