يَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ
Upon that Day man will say, "Where to flee?" (Literally: Where is the fleeing?).
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
Not at all, no subterfuge!
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقَرُّ
To your Lord upon that day will be the repository!
يُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
Upon that Day man will be fully informed of whatever he forwarded and deferred.
بَلِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٞ
No indeed, (but) man is a demonstration against himself,
وَلَوۡ أَلۡقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
Even though he cast forth his (ready) excuses.
لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
Do not move your tongue with it (The Qur'an) to hasten on with it;
إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ
Surely upon Us is the gathering of it and its all-evident reading.
فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ
So when We have read it, then closely follow its all-evident reading.
