AlqariAAatu

Al-Qāri`ahu

The terrible calamity

Ma alqariAAatu

Mā Al-Qāri`ahu

What is the terrible calamity

Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā Al-Qāri`ahu

And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is

Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi

Yawma Yakūnu An-Nāsu Kālfarāshi Al-Mabthūthi

The day on which men shall be as scattered moths

Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi

Wa Takūnu Al-Jibālu Kāl`ihni Al-Manfūshi

And the mountains shall be as loosened wool

Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu

Fa'ammā Man Thaqulat Mawāzīnuhu

Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy

Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

Fahuwa Fī `Īshatin Rāđiyahin

He shall live a pleasant life

Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu

Wa 'Ammā Man Khaffat Mawāzīnuhu

And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light

Faommuhu hawiyatun

Fa'ummuhu Hāwiyahun

His abode shall be the abyss

Wama adraka ma hiyah

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā Hiyah

And what will make you know what it is

Narun hamiyatun

Nārun Ĥāmiyahun

A burning fire
