[1] Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.
[2] Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.
[3] Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
[4] Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips
[5] Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.
[6] He asks: When is the day of resurrection?
[7] So when the sight becomes dazed,
[8] And the moon becomes dark,
[9] And the sun and the moon are brought together,
[10] Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
[11] By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!
[12] With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.
[13] Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.
[14] Nay! man is evidence against himself,
[15] Though he puts forth his excuses.
[16] Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
[17] Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
[18] Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
[19] Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
[20] Nay! But you love the present life,
[21] And neglect the hereafter.
[22] (Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
[23] Looking to their Lord.
[24] And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
[25] Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
[26] Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
[27] And it is said: Who will be a magician?
[28] And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
[29] And affliction is combined with affliction;
[30] To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
[31] So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
[32] But called the truth a lie and turned back,
[33] Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
[34] Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
[35] Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
[36] Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
[37] Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
[38] Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
[39] Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
[40] Is not He able to give life to the dead?
