رِزقًا لِلعِبادِ ۖ وَأَحيَينا بِهِ بَلدَةً مَيتًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ الخُروجُ
As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.
كَذَّبَت قَبلَهُم قَومُ نوحٍ وَأَصحابُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمودُ

وَعادٌ وَفِرعَونُ وَإِخوانُ لوطٍ
And 'Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers of Lot
وَأَصحابُ الأَيكَةِ وَقَومُ تُبَّعٍ ۚ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعيدِ
And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba'. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.
أَفَعَيينا بِالخَلقِ الأَوَّلِ ۚ بَل هُم في لَبسٍ مِن خَلقٍ جَديدٍ
Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.
وَلَقَد خَلَقنَا الإِنسانَ وَنَعلَمُ ما تُوَسوِسُ بِهِ نَفسُهُ ۖ وَنَحنُ أَقرَبُ إِلَيهِ مِن حَبلِ الوَريدِ
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein
إِذ يَتَلَقَّى المُتَلَقِّيانِ عَنِ اليَمينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمالِ قَعيدٌ
When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left.
ما يَلفِظُ مِن قَولٍ إِلّا لَدَيهِ رَقيبٌ عَتيدٌ
Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
وَجاءَت سَكرَةُ المَوتِ بِالحَقِّ ۖ ذٰلِكَ ما كُنتَ مِنهُ تَحيدُ
And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.
وَنُفِخَ فِي الصّورِ ۚ ذٰلِكَ يَومُ الوَعيدِ
And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.
وَجاءَت كُلُّ نَفسٍ مَعَها سائِقٌ وَشَهيدٌ
And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness.
