Al-Qiyamah

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ

Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ

Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true)

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ

Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ

But man would fain deny what is before him

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ

He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ

But when sight is confounded

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ

And the moon is eclipsed

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ

And sun and moon are united

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ

On that day man will cry: Whither to flee

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

Alas! No refuge

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ

Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ

Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ

Although he tender his excuses

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ

Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ

Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ

And when We read it, follow thou the reading

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ

Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ

Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ

And neglect the Hereafter

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ

That day will faces be resplendent

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ

Looking toward their Lord

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ

And that day will other faces be despondent

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ

Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ

And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now)

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ

And he knoweth that it is the parting

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

And agony is heaped on agony

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ

Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ

For he neither trusted, nor prayed

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

But he denied and flouted

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ

Then went he to his folk with glee

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ

Nearer unto thee and nearer

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ

Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom)

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ

Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

And made of him a pair, the male and female

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ

Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life
