بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ إِذَا السَّماءُ انفَطَرَت

When the sky breaks apart

وَإِذَا الكَواكِبُ انتَثَرَت

And when the stars fall, scattering,

وَإِذَا القُبورُ بُعثِرَت

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,

عَلِمَت نَفسٌ ما قَدَّمَت وَأَخَّرَت

A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

يا أَيُّهَا الإِنسانُ ما غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الكَريمِ

O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

الَّذي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

في أَيِّ صورَةٍ ما شاءَ رَكَّبَكَ

In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.
