When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
(3) Wa izal jibaalu suyyirat
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
(4) Wa izal 'ishaaru 'uttilat
When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
(5) Wa izal wuhooshu hushirat
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
(6) Wa izal bihaaru sujjirat
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
(7) Wa izan nufoosu zuwwijat
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
(8) Wa izal maw'oodatu su'ilat
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
(9) Bi ayyi zambin qutilat
For what crime she was killed;
(10) Wa izas suhufu nushirat
When the scrolls are laid open;
(11) Wa izas samaaa'u kushitat
When the world on High is unveiled;

(13) Wa izal jannatu uzlifat
And when the Garden is brought near;
(14) 'Alimat nafsum maaa ahdarat
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
(15) Falaaa uqsimu bil khunnas
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
(16) Al jawaaril kunnas
Go straight, or hide;
(17) Wallaili izaa 'as'as
And the Night as it dissipates;
(18) Wassubhi izaa tanaffas
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;
(19) Innahoo laqawlu rasoolin kareem
Verily this is the word of a most honorable Messenger,
(20) Zee quwwatin 'inda zil 'arshi makeen
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
(21) Mutaa'in samma ameen
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
(22) Wa maa saahibukum bimajnoon
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
(23) Wa laqad ra aahu bilufuqil mubeen
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
(24) Wa maa huwa 'alal ghaibi bidaneen
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
(25) Wa maa huwa biqawli shaitaanir rajeem
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
(26) Fa ayna tazhaboon
When whither go ye?
(27) In huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
(28) Liman shaaa'a minkum ai yastaqeem
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
(29) Wa maa tashaaa'oona illaaa ai yashaaa 'al laahu Rabbul 'Aalameen
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.
