القيامة

لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ١

Lā uq'simu biyawmi l-qiyāmati

By the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ٢

Walā uq'simu bil-nafsi l-lawāmati

And by the self-reproaching soul!

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ٣

Ayaḥsabu l-insānu allan najmaʿa ʿiẓāmahu

Does man think We shall not put his bones back together?

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ٤

Balā qādirīna ʿalā an nusawwiya banānahu

In fact, We can reshape his very fingertips.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ٥

Bal yurīdu l-insānu liyafjura amāmahu

Yet man wants to deny what is ahead of him:

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ٦

Yasalu ayyāna yawmu l-qiyāmati

He says, ‘So, when will this Day of Resurrection be?’

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ٧

Fa-idhā bariqa l-baṣaru

When eyes are dazzled

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ٨

Wakhasafa l-qamaru

And the moon eclipsed,

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ٩

Wajumiʿa l-shamsu wal-qamaru

When the sun and the moon are brought together,

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ١٠

Yaqūlu l-insānu yawma-idhin ayna l-mafaru

On that Day man will say, ‘Where can I escape?’
