At-Takwir

إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ

When the sun is overthrown

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ

And when the stars fall

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُیِّرَتۡ

And when the hills are moved

وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ

And when the camels big with young are abandoned

وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ

And when the wild beasts are herded together

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ

And when the seas rise

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ

And when souls are reunited

وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ

And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

بِأَیِّ ذَنۢبࣲ قُتِلَتۡ

For what sin she was slain

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ

And when the pages are laid open

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ كُشِطَتۡ

And when the sky is torn away

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِیمُ سُعِّرَتۡ

And when hell is lighted

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ

And when the Garden is brought nigh

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسࣱ مَّاۤ أَحۡضَرَتۡ

(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready

فَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ

Oh, but I call to witness the planets

ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ

The stars which rise and set

وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ

And the close of night

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

And the breath of morning

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولࣲ كَرِیمࣲ

That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger

ذِی قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِی ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِینࣲ

Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne

مُّطَاعࣲ ثَمَّ أَمِینࣲ

(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونࣲ

And your comrade is not mad

وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِینِ

Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلۡغَیۡبِ بِضَنِینࣲ

And he is not avid of the Unseen

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَیۡطَـٰنࣲ رَّجِیمࣲ

Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned

فَأَیۡنَ تَذۡهَبُونَ

Whither then go ye

إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرࣱ لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

This is naught else than a reminder unto creation

لِمَن شَاۤءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن یَسۡتَقِیمَ

Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight

وَمَا تَشَاۤءُونَ إِلَّاۤ أَن یَشَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation
