Al-Qiyama
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ20
Truly you [people] love this fleeting world
وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ21
and neglect the life to come
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ22
On that Day there will be radiant faces
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ23
looking towards their Lord
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ24
and on that Day there will be the sad and despairing faces
تَظُنُّ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ25
of those who realize that a great calamity is about to befall them
كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ26
Truly, when the soul reaches the collarbone
وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍ27
when it is said, ‘Could any charm-healer save him now?’
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ28
when he knows it is the final parting
وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ29
when his legs are brought together
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ30
on that day he will be driven towards your Lord
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ31
He neither believed nor prayed
وَلَـٰكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ32
but denied the truth and turned away
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّىٰ33
walking back to his people with a conceited swagger
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ34
Closer and closer it comes to you
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ35
Closer and closer still
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى36
Does man think he will be left alone
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَىٰ37
Was he not just a drop of spilt-out sperm
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ38
which became a clinging form, which God shaped in due proportion
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ39
fashioning from it the two sexes, male and female
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ40
Does He who can do this not have the power to bring the dead back to life
Al-Insan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا1
Was there not a period of time when man was nothing to speak of
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا2
We created man from a drop of mingled fluid to put him to the test; We gave him hearing and sight
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا3
We guided him to the right path, whether he was grateful or not
إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَ وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا4
We have prepared chains, iron collars, and blazing Fire for the disbelievers, but
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا5
the righteous will have a drink mixed with kafur
