وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ﴿١٠﴾

And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ﴿١١﴾

On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ﴿١﴾

The Calamity!

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ﴿٢﴾

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ﴿٤﴾

A day wherein mankind will be as thickly-scattered moths

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ﴿٥﴾

فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ﴿٦﴾

Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ﴿٧﴾

He will live a pleasant life.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ﴿٨﴾

But as for him whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ﴿٩﴾

A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ﴿١٠﴾

Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ﴿١١﴾

Raging Fire.

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ﴿١﴾

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ﴿٢﴾

Until ye come to the graves.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ﴿٣﴾

Nay, but ye will come to know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ﴿٤﴾

Nay, but ye will come to know!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ﴿٥﴾

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ﴿٦﴾

For ye will behold hell-fire.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ﴿٧﴾

Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ﴿٨﴾

Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
