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.

لَقَد كُنتَ في غَفلَةٍ مِن هـٰذا فَكَشَفنا عَنكَ غِطاءَكَ فَبَصَرُكَ اليَومَ حَديدٌ

[It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp."

وَقالَ قَرينُهُ هـٰذا ما لَدَيَّ عَتيدٌ

And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."

أَلقِيا في جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفّارٍ عَنيدٍ

[Allah will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever,

مَنّاعٍ لِلخَيرِ مُعتَدٍ مُريبٍ

Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter,

الَّذي جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلـٰهًا آخَرَ فَأَلقِياهُ فِي العَذابِ الشَّديدِ

Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment."
