وَإِذَا النُّجومُ انكَدَرَت

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

وَإِذَا الجِبالُ سُيِّرَت

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا العِشارُ عُطِّلَت

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَإِذَا الوُحوشُ حُشِرَت

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا البِحارُ سُجِّرَت

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَإِذَا المَوءودَةُ سُئِلَت

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَت

For what sin she was killed

وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَت

And when the pages are made public

وَإِذَا السَّماءُ كُشِطَت

And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا الجَحيمُ سُعِّرَت

And when Hellfire is set ablaze
