مَتاعًا لَكُم وَلِأَنعامِكُم

As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذا جاءَتِ الطّامَّةُ الكُبرىٰ

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

يَومَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنسانُ ما سَعىٰ

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

وَبُرِّزَتِ الجَحيمُ لِمَن يَرىٰ

And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

فَأَمّا مَن طَغىٰ

So as for he who transgressed

فَإِنَّ الجَحيمَ هِيَ المَأوىٰ

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

وَأَمّا مَن خافَ مَقامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفسَ عَنِ الهَوىٰ

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

فَإِنَّ الجَنَّةَ هِيَ المَأوىٰ

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

يَسأَلونَكَ عَنِ السّاعَةِ أَيّانَ مُرساها

They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

فيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكراها

In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
