بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

бисмиль-лəhир-рōhмəəнир-рōhиим

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ

лəə уќсиму бийəумиль-ќийəəмəh

I swear by the Day of Resurrection!

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ

вəлəə уќсиму бин-нəфсиль-лəувəəмəh

And I swear by the self-critical soul!

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

əйəhсəбуль-иŋŋсəəну əльлəн-нəджмə'ə 'из̃ōōмəh

Does man suppose that We will not put together his bones [at resurrection]?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ

бəлəə ќōōдириинə 'əлəə əн-нусəувийə бəнəəнəh

Yes indeed, We are able to [re]shape [even] his fingertips!

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ

бəль йуриидуль-иŋŋсəəну лийəфджурō əмəəмəh

Indeed, man desires to go on living viciously.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ

йəс`əлю əййəəнə йəумуль-ќийəəмəh

He asks, ‘When will be this “day of resurrection”?!’

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ

фə`из̃əə бəриќōль-бəсōр

But when the eyes are dazzled,

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ

вəхōсəфəль-ќōмəр

the moon is eclipsed,

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ

вəджуми'əш-шəмсу вəəльќōмəр

and the sun and the moon are brought together,

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ

йəќуулюль-иŋŋсəəну йəумə`из̃ин əйнəль-мəфəрр

that day man will say, ‘Where is the escape [from this day]?’
