لِيَومٍ عَظيمٍ
For a tremendous Day -
يَومَ يَقومُ النّاسُ لِرَبِّ العالَمينَ
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
كَلّا إِنَّ كِتابَ الفُجّارِ لَفي سِجّينٍ
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.
وَما أَدراكَ ما سِجّينٌ
And what can make you know what is sijjeen?
كِتابٌ مَرقومٌ
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.
الَّذينَ يُكَذِّبونَ بِيَومِ الدّينِ
Who deny the Day of Recompense.
وَما يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلّا كُلُّ مُعتَدٍ أَثيمٍ
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.
إِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِ آياتُنا قالَ أَساطيرُ الأَوَّلينَ
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
كَلّا ۖ بَل ۜ رانَ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم ما كانوا يَكسِبونَ
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.
كَلّا إِنَّهُم عَن رَبِّهِم يَومَئِذٍ لَمَحجوبونَ
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
