The Catastrophe

Ma alqariAAatu

Mā Al-Qāri`ahu

What is the Catastrophe

Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā Al-Qāri`ahu

What will show you what is the Catastrophe

Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi

Yawma Yakūnu An-Nāsu Kālfarāshi Al-Mabthūthi

[It is] the day when mankind will be like scattered moths

Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi

Wa Takūnu Al-Jibālu Kāl`ihni Al-Manfūshi

and the mountains like carded wool

Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu

Fa'ammā Man Thaqulat Mawāzīnuhu

As for him, whose deeds weigh heavy in the scales

Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

Fahuwa Fī `Īshatin Rāđiyahin

he will have a pleasing life

Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu

Wa 'Ammā Man Khaffat Mawāzīnuhu

But as for him, whose deeds weigh light in the scales

Faommuhu hawiyatun

Fa'ummuhu Hāwiyahun

his home will be the Abyss

Wama adraka ma hiyah

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā Hiyah

And what will show you what it is

Narun hamiyatun

Nārun Ĥāmiyahun

It is a scorching fire
