وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ
And when the heaven will be scraped off,
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ
And when the Hell-Fire will be set blazing,
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ
And when the Garden will be drawn within reach-
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ
(Then) a self will know whatever it has presented.
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ
Then no! swear by the constant sinkers,
ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ
The running "stars", the constant sinkers,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ
And by the night when it darkens, (Or: swarms)
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
And by the morning when it breathes,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ
Surely it is indeed the Saying of an honorable Messenger (The Angel Jibril "Gabriel")
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ
Owning power, established in the Providence of The Owner of the Throne,
