بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ﴿١﴾

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; 75:1

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ﴿٢﴾

And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil). 75:2

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ﴿٣﴾

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? 75:3

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ﴿٤﴾

Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. 75:4

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ﴿٥﴾

But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him. 75:5

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ﴿٦﴾

He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" 75:6

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ﴿٧﴾

At length, when the sight is dazed, 75:7

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿٨﴾

And the moon is buried in darkness. 75:8

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ﴿٩﴾

And the sun and moon are joined together,- 75:9

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ﴿١٠﴾

That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?" 75:10

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ﴿١١﴾

By no means! No place of safety! 75:11

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ﴿١٢﴾

Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest. 75:12

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ﴿١٣﴾

That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back. 75:13

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ ﴿١٤﴾

Nay, man will be evidence against himself, 75:14

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ﴿١٥﴾

Even though he were to put up his excuses. 75:15

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ﴿١٦﴾

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith. 75:16

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it: 75:17

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ ﴿١٨﴾

But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated): 75:18

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ﴿١٩﴾

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear): 75:19

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ ﴿٢٠﴾

Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life, 75:20

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ﴿٢١﴾

And leave alone the Hereafter. 75:21

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ ﴿٢٢﴾

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);- 75:22

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ ﴿٢٣﴾

Looking towards their Lord; 75:23

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ ﴿٢٤﴾

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, 75:24

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ ﴿٢٥﴾

In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them; 75:25

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ ﴿٢٦﴾

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit), 75:26

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ ﴿٢٧﴾

And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?" 75:27

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ ﴿٢٨﴾

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting; 75:28

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ﴿٢٩﴾

And one leg will be joined with another: 75:29

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ﴿٣٠﴾

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord! 75:30

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ﴿٣١﴾

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!- 75:31

وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿٣٢﴾

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away! 75:32

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ﴿٣٣﴾

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit! 75:33

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ﴿٣٤﴾

Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe! 75:34

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ ﴿٣٥﴾

Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe! 75:35

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ﴿٣٦﴾

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? 75:36

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ ﴿٣٧﴾

Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? 75:37

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ﴿٣٨﴾

Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. 75:38

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ﴿٣٩﴾

And of him He made two sexes, male and female. 75:39

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَـٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْـِۧىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾

Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead? 75:40
