إِنَّما توعَدونَ لَواقِعٌ

Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

فَإِذَا النُّجومُ طُمِسَت

So when the stars are obliterated

وَإِذَا السَّماءُ فُرِجَت

And when the heaven is opened

وَإِذَا الجِبالُ نُسِفَت

And when the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَت

And when the messengers' time has come...

لِيَومِ الفَصلِ

For the Day of Judgement.

وَما أَدراكَ ما يَومُ الفَصلِ

And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

وَيلٌ يَومَئِذٍ لِلمُكَذِّبينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَم نُهلِكِ الأَوَّلينَ

Did We not destroy the former peoples?

ثُمَّ نُتبِعُهُمُ الآخِرينَ

Then We will follow them with the later ones.
