كَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ

But no! In fact, you love this fleeting world,


وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ

and neglect the Hereafter.


وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ

On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright,


إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ

looking at their Lord.


وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ

And ˹other˺ faces will be gloomy,


تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ

anticipating something devastating to befall them.


كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ

But no! ˹Beware of the day˺ when the soul reaches the collar bone ˹as it leaves˺,


وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ

and it will be said, “Is there any healer ˹who can save this life˺?”


وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ

And the dying person realizes it is ˹their˺ time to depart,


وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

and ˹then˺ their feet are tied together ˹in a shroud˺.
