فَعَصَوا رَسولَ رَبِّهِم فَأَخَذَهُم أَخذَةً رابِيَةً

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].

إِنّا لَمّا طَغَى الماءُ حَمَلناكُم فِي الجارِيَةِ

Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship

لِنَجعَلَها لَكُم تَذكِرَةً وَتَعِيَها أُذُنٌ واعِيَةٌ

That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.

فَإِذا نُفِخَ فِي الصّورِ نَفخَةٌ واحِدَةٌ

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

وَحُمِلَتِ الأَرضُ وَالجِبالُ فَدُكَّتا دَكَّةً واحِدَةً

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -

وَانشَقَّتِ السَّماءُ فَهِيَ يَومَئِذٍ واهِيَةٌ

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

وَالمَلَكُ عَلىٰ أَرجائِها ۚ وَيَحمِلُ عَرشَ رَبِّكَ فَوقَهُم يَومَئِذٍ ثَمانِيَةٌ

And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].

يَومَئِذٍ تُعرَضونَ لا تَخفىٰ مِنكُم خافِيَةٌ

That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.

فَأَمّا مَن أوتِيَ كِتابَهُ بِيَمينِهِ فَيَقولُ هاؤُمُ اقرَءوا كِتابِيَه

So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

إِنّي ظَنَنتُ أَنّي مُلاقٍ حِسابِيَه

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."
