وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ
When the world on High is unveiled;
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ
And when the Garden is brought near;-
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ
Go straight, or hide;
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ
And the Night as it dissipates;
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
