يا أَيُّهَا الإِنسانُ إِنَّكَ كادِحٌ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدحًا فَمُلاقيهِ

O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

فَأَمّا مَن أوتِيَ كِتابَهُ بِيَمينِهِ

Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,

فَسَوفَ يُحاسَبُ حِسابًا يَسيرًا

He will be judged with an easy account

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلىٰ أَهلِهِ مَسرورًا

And return to his people in happiness.

وَأَمّا مَن أوتِيَ كِتابَهُ وَراءَ ظَهرِهِ

But as for he who is given his record behind his back,

وَيَصلىٰ سَعيرًا

And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.

إِنَّهُ كانَ في أَهلِهِ مَسرورًا

Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَن يَحورَ

Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].

بَلىٰ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كانَ بِهِ بَصيرًا

But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.

فَلا أُقسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

So I swear by the twilight glow
