[1] I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
[2] And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
[3] Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
[4] Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
[5] But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
[6] He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
[7] At length, when the sight is dazed,
[8] And the moon is buried in darkness.
[9] And the sun and moon are joined together,-
[10] That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
[11] By no means! No place of safety!
[12] Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
[13] That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
[14] Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
[15] Even though he were to put up his excuses.
[16] Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
[17] It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
[18] But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
[19] Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
[20] Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
[21] And leave alone the Hereafter.
[22] Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
[23] Looking towards their Lord;
[24] And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
[25] In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
[26] Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
[27] And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
[28] And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
[29] And one leg will be joined with another:
[30] That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
[31] So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
[32] But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
[33] Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
[34] Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
[35] Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
[36] Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
[37] Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
[38] Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
[39] And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
[40] Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
