كَلَّا وَٱلۡقَمَرِ
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذۡ أَدۡبَرَ
And by the Night as it retreateth,
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَآ أَسۡفَرَ
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-
إِنَّهَا لَإِحۡدَى ٱلۡكُبَرِ
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
نَذِيرٗا لِّلۡبَشَرِ
A warning to mankind,-
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوۡ يَتَأَخَّرَ
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;-
كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ رَهِينَةٌ
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
إِلَّآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡيَمِينِ
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
عَنِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
And (ask) of the Sinners:
مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
