| In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

| 1.
| 
When the heaven is cleft asunder. |
| 2.
| 
And when the stars have fallen and scattered; |
| 3.
| 
And when the seas are burst forth (got dried up); |
| 4.
| 
And when the graves are turned upside down (and they
bring out their contents) |
| 5.
| 
(Then) a person will know what he has sent forward and
(what he has) left behind (of good or bad deeds). |
| 6.
| 
O man! What has made you careless concerning your Lord,
the Most Generous? |
| 7.
| 
Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you
due proportion; |
| 8.
| 
In whatever form He willed, He put you together. |
| 9.
| 
Nay! But you deny the Recompense (reward for good deeds
and punishment for evil deeds). |
| 10.
| 
But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge
of mankind) to watch you[] , |
| 11.
| 
Kirâman (honourable) Kâtibîn
writing down (your deeds)[] , |
| 12.
| 
They know all that you do. |
| 13.
| 
Verily, the Abrâr (pious and righteous)
will be in delight (Paradise); |
| 14.
| 
And verily, the Fujjâr (the wicked, disbelievers,
sinners and evil-doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell), |
| 15.
| 
In which they will enter, and taste its burning flame
on the Day of Recompense, |
| 16.
| 
And they (Al-Fujjâr) will not be absent
therefrom (i.e. will not go out from the Hell). |
| 17.
| 
And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense
is? |
| 18.
| 
Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense
is? |
| 19.
| 
(It will be) the Day when no person shall have power
(to do) anything for another, and the Decision, that Day, will
be (wholly) with Allâh. |
