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.
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."
قالَ قَرينُهُ رَبَّنا ما أَطغَيتُهُ وَلـٰكِن كانَ في ضَلالٍ بَعيدٍ
His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error."
قالَ لا تَختَصِموا لَدَيَّ وَقَد قَدَّمتُ إِلَيكُم بِالوَعيدِ
[Allah] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning.
