إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ ٦

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ٧

And indeed, he is to that a witness.

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ٨

And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ ٩

But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ ١٠

And that within the breasts is obtained,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ ١١

Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Aware.

الْقَارِعَةُ ١

The Striking Calamity -

مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ٢

What is the Striking Calamity?

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ٣

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ ٤

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,

وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ ٥

And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ٦

Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],

فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ ٧

He will be in a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ٨

But as for one whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ ٩

His refuge will be an abyss.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ ١٠

And what can make you know what that is?

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ ١١

It is a Fire, intensely hot.

أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ ١

Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ ٢

Until you visit the graveyards.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ٣

No! You are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ٤

Then, no! You are going to know.

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ ٥

No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...

لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ ٦

You will surely see the Hellfire.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ ٧

Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.

ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ ٨

Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
