1
WHEN THE SKY is split asunder,
2
obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must;
3
and when the earth is leveled,
4
and casts forth whatever is in it, and becomes utterly void,
5
obeying its Sustainer, as in truth it must -:
6
[then, ] O man - thou [that] hast, verily, been toiling towards thy Sustainer in painful toil - then shalt thou meet Him!
7
And as for him whose record shall be placed in his right hand,
8
he will in time be called to account with an easy accounting,
9
and will [be able to] turn joyfully to those of his own kind.
10
But as for him whose record shall be given to him behind his back;
11
he will in time pray for utter destruction:
12
but he will enter the blazing flame.
13
Behold, [in his earthly life] he lived joyfully among people of his own kind
14
for, behold, he never thought that he would have to return [to God].
15
Yea indeed! His Sustainer did see all that was in him!
16
BUT NAY! I call to witness the sunset's [fleeting] afterglow,
17
and the night, and what it [step by step] unfolds,
18
and the moon, as it grows to its fullness:
19
[even thus, O men,] are you bound to move; onward from stage to stage.
20
What, then, is amiss with them that they will not believe [in a life to come]?
21
and [that], when the Qur’an is read unto them, they do not fall down in prostration?
22
Nay, but they who are bent on denying the truth give the lie [to this divine writ]!
23
Yet God has full knowledge of what they conceal [in their hearts].
24
Hence, give them the tiding of grievous suffering [in the life to come] –
25
unless it be such [of them] as [repent, and] attain to faith, and do good works: for theirs shall be a reward unending!.
