التَّكْوِير

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1
إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
2
وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انْكَدَرَتْ
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
3
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
4
وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
5
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
6
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
7
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
8
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
9
بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ
For what crime she was killed;
10
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
When the scrolls are laid open;
11
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ
When the world on High is unveiled;
12
وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
13
وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
And when the Garden is brought near;-
14
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا أَحْضَرَتْ
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
15
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
16
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
Go straight, or hide;
17
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
And the Night as it dissipates;
18
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-
19
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
20
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
