At-Takwir The Overthrowing

إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ۝١

81:1 When the sun is overthrown,

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ ۝٢

81:2 And when the stars fall,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ۝٣

81:3 And when the hills are moved,

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ۝٤

81:4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ۝٥

81:5 And when the wild beasts are herded together,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ۝٦

81:6 And when the seas rise,

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ۝٧

81:7 And when souls are reunited,

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ ۝٨

81:8 And when the girl-child that was buried alive is asked

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ ۝٩

81:9 For what sin she was slain,

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ۝١٠

81:10 And when the pages are laid open,

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ ۝١١

81:11 And when the sky is torn away,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ۝١٢

81:12 And when hell is lighted,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ۝١٣

81:13 And when the Garden is brought nigh,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ ۝١٤

81:14 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ ۝١٥

81:15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ ۝١٦

81:16 The stars which rise and set,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ۝١٧

81:17 And the close of night,

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ۝١٨

81:18 And the breath of morning

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ۝١٩

81:19 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ ۝٢٠

81:20 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ ۝٢١

81:21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ ۝٢٢

81:22 And your comrade is not mad.

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢٣

81:23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ ۝٢٤

81:24 And he is not avid of the Unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ ۝٢٥

81:25 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ۝٢٦

81:26 Whither then go ye?

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٢٧

81:27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ ۝٢٨

81:28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ۝٢٩

81:29 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.
