إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ١

When the sun is overthrown,

Itha ashshamsu kuwwirat

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ٢

And when the stars fall,

Wa-itha annujoomu inkadarat

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ٣

And when the hills are moved,

Wa-itha aljibalu suyyirat

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ٤

And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

Wa-itha alAAisharu AAuttilat

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ٥

And when the wild beasts are herded together,

Wa-itha alwuhooshu hushirat

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ٦

And when the seas rise,

Wa-itha albiharu sujjirat

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ٧

And when souls are reunited,

Wa-itha annufoosu zuwwijat

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ٨

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

Wa-itha almawoodatu su-ilat

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ٩

For what sin she was slain,

Bi-ayyi thanbin qutilat

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ١٠

And when the pages are laid open,

Wa-itha assuhufunushirat

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ١١

And when the sky is torn away,

Wa-itha assamao kushitat

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ١٢

And when hell is lighted,

Wa-itha aljaheemu suAAAAirat

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ١٣

And when the Garden is brought nigh,

Wa-itha aljannatu ozlifat

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ١٤

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

AAalimat nafsun ma ahdarat

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ١٥

Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

Fala oqsimu bilkhunnas

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ١٦

The stars which rise and set,

Aljawari alkunnas

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ١٧

And the close of night,

Wallayli itha AAasAAas

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ١٨

And the breath of morning

Wassubhi ithatanaffas

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ١٩

That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareem

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ٢٠

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

Thee quwwatin AAinda theealAAarshi makeen

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ٢١

(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

MutaAAin thamma ameen

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ٢٢

And your comrade is not mad.

Wama sahibukum bimajnoon

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ٢٣

Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

Walaqad raahu bilofuqialmubeen

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ٢٤

And he is not avid of the Unseen.

Wama huwa AAala alghaybi bidaneen

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ٢٥

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

Wama huwa biqawli shaytaninrajeem

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ٢٦

Whither then go ye?

Faayna tathhaboon

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ٢٧

This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameen

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ٢٨

Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

Liman shaa minkum an yastaqeem

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ٢٩

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

Wama tashaoona illa anyashaa Allahu rabbu alAAalameen
