وَإِذَا البِحارُ فُجِّرَت

And when the seas are erupted

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?

كَلّا بَل تُكَذِّبونَ بِالدّينِ

No! But you deny the Recompense.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيكُم لَحافِظينَ

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

كِرامًا كاتِبينَ

Noble and recording;

يَعلَمونَ ما تَفعَلونَ

They know whatever you do.

إِنَّ الأَبرارَ لَفي نَعيمٍ

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,
