وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ

вəтəз̃əруунəль-əəхырōh

and forsake the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ

вуджууhуй-йəумə`из̃ин-ннəəдырōh

Some faces will be fresh on that day,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ

илəə рōббиhəə нəəз̃ырōh

looking to their Lord,

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ

вəвуджууhуй-йəумə`из̃имм-бəəсирōh

and some faces will be scowling on that day,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

тəз̃унну əй-йуф'əлə биhəə фəəќирōh

knowing that they will be dealt out a punishment breaking the spine.

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ

кəльлəə из̃əə бəлəґōтит-тəрōōќий

No indeed! When it reaches up to the collar bones

وَقِيلَ مَنْ  ۜ رَاقٍ

вəќиилə мəн рōōќ

and it is said, ‘Who will take him up?’

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ

вəз̃ōннə əннəhуль-фирōōќ

and he knows that it is the [time of] parting,

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

вəəльтəффəтис-сəəќу бис-сəəќ

and each shank clasps the other shank,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ

илəə рōббикə йəумə`из̃инль-мəсəəќ

that day he shall be driven toward your Lord.
