وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ

and when the sky is stripped away,


وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ

and when Paradise is brought near—

˹on that Day˺ each soul will know what ˹deeds˺ it has brought along.


فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ

which travel and hide,1


وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ

and the night as it falls


وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

and the day as it breaks!1

full of power, held in honour by the Lord of the Throne,
