[1] I swear by the Day of Resurrection
[2] And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
[3] Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?
[4] Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.
[5] But man desires to continue in sin.
[6] He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
[7] So when vision is dazzled
[8] And the moon darkens
[9] And the sun and the moon are joined,
[10] Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"
[11] No! There is no refuge.
[12] To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.
[13] Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.
[14] Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,
[15] Even if he presents his excuses.
[16] Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.
[17] Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.
[18] So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.
[19] Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].
[20] No! But you love the immediate
[21] And leave the Hereafter.
[22] [Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,
[23] Looking at their Lord.
[24] And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,
[25] Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.
[26] No! When the soul has reached the collar bones
[27] And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"
[28] And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation
[29] And the leg is wound about the leg,
[30] To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.
[31] And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.
[32] But [instead], he denied and turned away.
[33] And then he went to his people, swaggering [in pride].
[34] Woe to you, and woe!
[35] Then woe to you, and woe!
[36] Does man think that he will be left neglected?
[37] Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?
[38] Then he was a clinging clot, and [Allah] created [his form] and proportioned [him]
[39] And made of him two mates, the male and the female.
[40] Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?
