وُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ ناضِرَةٌ

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

إِلىٰ رَبِّها ناظِرَةٌ

Looking at their Lord.

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

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الفِراقُ

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

وَالتَفَّتِ السّاقُ بِالسّاقِ

And the leg is wound about the leg,

إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ يَومَئِذٍ المَساقُ

To your Lord, that Day, will be the procession.

فَلا صَدَّقَ وَلا صَلّىٰ

And the disbeliever had not believed, nor had he prayed.

وَلـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ

But [instead], he denied and turned away.
