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...

لِأَيِّ يَومٍ أُجِّلَت

For what Day was it postponed?

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.

كَذٰلِكَ نَفعَلُ بِالمُجرِمينَ

Thus do We deal with the criminals.
