At-Takwir

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ۝١

When the sun is overthrown,

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ ۝٢

And when the stars fall,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ۝٣

And when the hills are moved,

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ۝٤

And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ۝٥

And when the wild beasts are herded together,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ۝٦

And when the seas rise,

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ۝٧

And when souls are reunited,

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ ۝٨

And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ ۝٩

For what sin she was slain,

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ۝١٠

And when the pages are laid open,

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ ۝١١

And when the sky is torn away,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ۝١٢

And when hell is lighted,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ۝١٣

And when the Garden is brought nigh,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ ۝١٤

(Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ ۝١٥

Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ ۝١٦

The stars which rise and set,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ۝١٧

And the close of night,

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ۝١٨

And the breath of morning

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ۝١٩

That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ ۝٢٠

Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ ۝٢١

(One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ ۝٢٢

And your comrade is not mad.

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢٣

Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ ۝٢٤

And he is not avid of the Unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ ۝٢٥

Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ۝٢٦

Whither then go ye?

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٢٧

This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ ۝٢٨

Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٢٩

And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.
