نَذيرًا لِلبَشَرِ

As a warning to humanity -

لِمَن شاءَ مِنكُم أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَو يَتَأَخَّرَ

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

كُلُّ نَفسٍ بِما كَسَبَت رَهينَةٌ

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

إِلّا أَصحابَ اليَمينِ

Except the companions of the right,

في جَنّاتٍ يَتَساءَلونَ

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

ما سَلَكَكُم في سَقَرَ

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

قالوا لَم نَكُ مِنَ المُصَلّينَ

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

وَلَم نَكُ نُطعِمُ المِسكينَ

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

وَكُنّا نَخوضُ مَعَ الخائِضينَ

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

وَكُنّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَومِ الدّينِ

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
