بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا السَّمَاء انشَقَّتْ [1]

[84:1] When the heaven bursts asunder,

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ [2]

[84:2] And obeys its Lord and it must.

وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ [3]

[84:3] And when the earth is stretched,

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ [4]

[84:4] And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ [5]

[84:5] And obeys its Lord and it must.

يَا أَيُّهَا الْإِنسَانُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَى رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَاقِيهِ [6]

[84:6] O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ [7]

[84:7] Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا [8]

[84:8] He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا [9]

[84:9] And he shall go back to his people joyful.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاء ظَهْرِهِ [10]

[84:10] And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا [11]

[84:11] He shall call for perdition,

وَيَصْلَى سَعِيرًا [12]

[84:12] And enter into burning fire.

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا [13]

[84:13] Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ [14]

[84:14] Surely he thought that he would never return.

بَلَى إِنَّ رَبَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ بَصِيرًا [15]

[84:15] Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ [16]

[84:16] But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ [17]

[84:17] And the night and that which it drives on,

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ [18]

[84:18] And the moon when it grows full,

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ [19]

[84:19] That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ [20]

[84:20] But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ [21]

[84:21] And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ [22]

[84:22] Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ [23]

[84:23] And Allah knows best what they hide,

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ [24]

[84:24] So announce to them a painful punishment~

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ [25]

[84:25] Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
