[1] Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection;
[2] Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true).
[3] Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones?
[4] Yea, verily. We are Able to restore his very fingers!
[5] But man would fain deny what is before him.
[6] He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection?
[7] But when sight is confounded
[8] And the moon is eclipsed
[9] And sun and moon are united,
[10] On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!
[11] Alas! No refuge!
[12] Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.
[13] On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind.
[14] Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself,
[15] Although he tender his excuses.
[16] Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it.
[17] Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof.
[18] And when We read it, follow thou the reading;
[19] Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof.
[20] Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now
[21] And neglect the Hereafter.
[22] That day will faces be resplendent,
[23] Looking toward their Lord;
[24] And that day will other faces be despondent,
[25] Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.
[26] Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat
[27] And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now)?
[28] And he knoweth that it is the parting;
[29] And agony is heaped on agony;
[30] Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.
[31] For he neither trusted, nor prayed.
[32] But he denied and flouted.
[33] Then went he to his folk with glee.
[34] Nearer unto thee and nearer,
[35] Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).
[36] Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless?
[37] Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth?
[38] Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned
[39] And made of him a pair, the male and female.
[40] Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life?
