فَإِذا قَرَأناهُ فَاتَّبِع قُرآنَهُ

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَينا بَيانَهُ

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].

كَلّا بَل تُحِبّونَ العاجِلَةَ

No! But you love the immediate

وَتَذَرونَ الآخِرَةَ

And leave the Hereafter.

وُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ ناضِرَةٌ

[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,

وَوُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ باسِرَةٌ

And [some] faces, that Day, will be contorted,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفعَلَ بِها فاقِرَةٌ

Expecting that there will be done to them [something] backbreaking.

كَلّا إِذا بَلَغَتِ التَّراقِيَ

No! When the soul has reached the collar bones

وَقيلَ مَن ۜ راقٍ

And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الفِراقُ

And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation
