75:1

لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
75:2

وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ

And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
75:3

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ

Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
75:4

بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَن نُّسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ

Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
75:5

بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ

But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
75:6

يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ

He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ

At length, when the sight is dazed,
75:8

وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ

And the moon is buried in darkness.
75:9

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ

And the sun and moon are joined together,-
75:10

يَقُولُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ

That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
75:11

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

By no means! No place of safety!
75:12

إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ

Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
75:13

يُنَبَّأُ الْإِنسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
75:14

بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ

Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
75:15

وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ

Even though he were to put up his excuses.
75:16

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
75:17

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
75:18

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ

But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
75:19

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
75:20

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ

Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
75:21

وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ

And leave alone the Hereafter.
75:22

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
75:23

إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ

Looking towards their Lord;
75:24

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
75:25

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
75:26

كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتْ التَّرَاقِيَ

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
75:27

وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ

And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
75:28

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
75:29

وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ

And one leg will be joined with another:
75:30

إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
75:31

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
75:32

وَلَكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
75:33

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
75:34

أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى

Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
75:35

ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى

Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
75:36

أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
75:37

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِيٍّ يُمْنَى

Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
75:38

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى

Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
75:39

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى

And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
75:40

أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى

Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
