1
I swear by the Day of Resurrection!
2
And I swear by the self-critical soul!
3
Does man suppose that We will not put together his bones [at resurrection]?
4
Yes indeed, We are able to [re]shape [even] his fingertips!
5
Indeed, man desires to go on living viciously.
6
He asks, ‘When will be this “day of resurrection”?!’
7
But when the eyes are dazzled,
9
and the sun and the moon are brought together,
10
that day man will say, ‘Where is the escape [from this day]?’
11
No indeed! There will be no refuge!
12
That day the [final] goal will be toward your Lord.
13
That day man will be informed about what [works] he had sent ahead [to the scene of judgement] and [the legacy that he had] left behind.
14
Indeed, man is a witness to himself,
15
though he should offer excuses [to justify his failings].
16
Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it.
17
Indeed it is up to Us to put it together and to recite it.
18
And when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
19
Then, its exposition [also] lies with Us.
20
No! Indeed, you love this transitory life
21
and forsake the Hereafter.
22
Some faces will be fresh on that day,
23
looking to their Lord,
24
and some faces will be scowling on that day,
25
knowing that they will be dealt out a punishment breaking the spine.
26
No indeed! When it reaches up to the collar bones
27
and it is said, ‘Who will take him up?’
28
and he knows that it is the [time of] parting,
29
and each shank clasps the other shank,
30
that day he shall be driven toward your Lord.
