Verses: 40
| 1 | No! I swear by the Day of Resurrection. | |
| 2 | No! I swear by the reproachful soul. | |
| 3 | What, does man reckon We shall not gather his bones? | |
| 4 | Yes indeed; We are able to shape again his fingers. | |
| 5 | Nay, but man desires to continue on as a libertine, | |
| 6 | asking, 'When shall be the Day of Resurrection?' | |
| 7 | But when the sight is dazed | |
| 8 | and the moon is eclipsed, | |
| 9 | and the sun and moon are brought together, | |
| 10 | upon that day man shall say, 'Whither to flee?' | |
| 11 | No indeed; not a refuge! | |
| 12 | Upon that day the recourse shall be to thy Lord. | |
| 13 | Upon that day man shall be told his former deeds and his latter; | |
| 14 | nay, man shall be a clear proof against himself, | |
| 15 | even though he offer his excuses. | |
| 16 | Move not thy tongue with it to hasten it; | |
| 17 | Ours it is to gather it, and to recite it. | |
| 18 | So, when We recite it, follow thou its recitation. | |
| 19 | Then Ours it is to explain it. | |
| 20 | No indeed; but you love the hasty world, | |
| 21 | and leave be the Hereafter. | |
| 22 | Upon that day faces shall be radiant, | |
| 23 | gazing upon their Lord; | |
| 24 | and upon that day faces shall be scowling, | |
| 25 | thou mightest think the Calamity has been wreaked on them. | |
| 26 | No indeed; when it reaches the clavicles | |
| 27 | and it is said, 'Who is an enchanter?' | |
| 28 | and he thinks that it is the parting | |
| 29 | and leg is intertwined with leg, | |
| 30 | upon that day unto thy Lord shall be the driving. | |
| 31 | For he confirmed it not, and did not pray, | |
| 32 | but he cried it lies, and he turned away, | |
| 33 | then he went to his household arrogantly. | |
| 34 | Nearer to thee and nearer | |
| 35 | then nearer to thee and nearer! | |
| 36 | What, does man reckon he shall be left to roam at will? | |
| 37 | Was he not a sperm-drop spilled? | |
| 38 | Then he was a blood-clot, and He created and formed, | |
| 39 | and He made of him two kinds, male and female. | |
| 40 | What, is He not able to quicken the dead? |
