سُورَةُ التَّكۡوِيرِ

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

Izash shamsu kuwwirat

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

Wa izan nujoomun kadarat

And when the mountains are removed

Wa izal jibaalu suyyirat

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

Wa izal 'ishaaru 'uttilat

And when the wild beasts are gathered

Wa izal wuhooshu hushirat

And when the seas are filled with flame

Wa izal bihaaru sujjirat

And when the souls are paired

Wa izan nufoosu zuwwijat

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

Wa izal maw'oodatu su'ilat

For what sin she was killed

Bi ayyi zambin qutilat

And when the pages are made public

Wa izas suhufu nushirat

And when the sky is stripped away

Wa izas samaaa'u kushitat

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

Wa izal jaheemu su'-'irat

And when Paradise is brought near,

Wa izal jannatu uzlifat

A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].

'Alimat nafsum maaa ahdarat

So I swear by the retreating stars -

Falaaa uqsimu bil khunnas

Those that run [their courses] and disappear -

Al jawaaril kunnas

And by the night as it closes in

Wallaili izaa 'as'as

And by the dawn when it breathes

Wassubhi izaa tanaffas

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

Innahoo laqawlu rasoolin kareem

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

Zee quwwatin 'inda zil 'arshi makeen

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

Mutaa'in samma ameen

And your companion is not [at all] mad.

Wa maa saahibukum bimajnoon

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

Wa laqad ra aahu bilufuqil mubeen

And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.

Wa maa huwa 'alal ghaibi bidaneen

And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

Wa maa huwa biqawli shaitaanir rajeem

So where are you going?

Fa ayna tazhaboon

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

In huwa illaa zikrul lil'aalameen

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

Liman shaaa'a minkum ai yastaqeem

And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.

Wa maa tashaaa'oona illaaa ai yashaaa 'al laahu Rabbul 'Aalameen
