وَجَعَلنَا اللَّيلَ لِباسًا
And made the night as clothing
وَجَعَلنَا النَّهارَ مَعاشًا
And made the day for livelihood
وَبَنَينا فَوقَكُم سَبعًا شِدادًا
And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]
وَجَعَلنا سِراجًا وَهّاجًا
And made [therein] a burning lamp
وَأَنزَلنا مِنَ المُعصِراتِ ماءً ثَجّاجًا
And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water
لِنُخرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَباتًا
That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation
وَجَنّاتٍ أَلفافًا
And gardens of entwined growth.
إِنَّ يَومَ الفَصلِ كانَ ميقاتًا
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -
يَومَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصّورِ فَتَأتونَ أَفواجًا
The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
وَفُتِحَتِ السَّماءُ فَكانَت أَبوابًا
And the heaven is opened and will become gateways
وَسُيِّرَتِ الجِبالُ فَكانَت سَرابًا
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
