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,
فَسَوفَ يَدعو ثُبورًا
He will cry out for destruction
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
وَاللَّيلِ وَما وَسَقَ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَالقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
لَتَركَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
