Al-Inshiqaaq

Itha alssamao inshaqqat

Idhā As-Samā'u Anshaqqat

When the sky is split open

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

Wa 'Adhinat Lirabbihā Wa Ĥuqqat

and gives ear to its Lord as it should

Waitha alardu muddat

Wa 'Idhā Al-'Arđu Muddat

When the earth is spread out

Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

Wa 'Alqat Mā Fīhā Wa Takhallat

and throws out what is in it, emptying itself

Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat

Wa 'Adhinat Lirabbihā Wa Ĥuqqat

and gives ear to its Lord as it should

Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi

Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-'Insānu 'Innaka Kādiĥun 'Ilá Rabbika Kadĥāan Famulāqīhi

O man! You are labouring toward your Lord laboriously, and you will encounter Him

Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

Fa'ammā Man 'Ūtiya Kitābahu Biyamīnihi

Then, as for him who is given his record [of deeds] in his right hand

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran

Fasawfa Yuĥāsabu Ĥisābāan Yasīrāan

he will receive an easy reckoning

Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran

Wa Yanqalibu 'Ilá 'Ahlihi Masrūrāan

and he will return to his folks joyfully

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi

Wa 'Ammā Man 'Ūtiya Kitābahu Warā'a Žahrihi

But as for him who is given his record from behind his back

Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran

Fasawfa Yad`ū Thubūrāan

he will pray for annihilation

Wayasla saAAeeran

Wa Yaşlá Sa`īrāan

and enter the Blaze

Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran

Innahu Kāna Fī 'Ahlihi Masrūrāan

Indeed he used to be joyful among his folk

Innahu thanna an lan yahoora

Innahu Žanna 'An Lan Yaĥūra

and he thought that he would never return

Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran

Balá 'Inna Rabbahu Kāna Bihi Başīrāan

Yes, his Lord had been watching him

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

Falā 'Uqsimu Bish-Shafaqi

I swear by the evening glow

Waallayli wama wasaqa

Wa Al-Layli Wa Mā Wasaqa

by the night and what it is fraught with

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

Wa Al-Qamari 'Idhā Attasaqa

by the moon when it blooms full

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

Latarkabunna Ţabaqāan `An Ţabaqin

you will surely fare from stage to stage

Fama lahum la yuminoona

Famā Lahum Lā Yu'uminūna

What is the matter with them that they will not believe

Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

Wa 'Idhā Quri'a `Alayhimu Al-Qur'ānu Lā Yasjudūna

and will not prostrate when the Quran is recited to them

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona

Bali Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Yukadhibūna

Indeed, the faithless impugn [the Apostle]

WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

Wa Allāhu 'A`lamu Bimā Yū`ūna

and Allah knows best what they keep to themselves

Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

Fabashirhum Bi`adhābin 'Alīmin

So inform them of a painful punishment

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin

Illā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Lahum 'Ajrun Ghayru Mamnūnin

excepting such as are faithful and do righteous deeds: for them there will be an everlasting reward
