فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ

Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ

Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ

Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah

As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ

Farrat min qaswarah

Fleeing from a lion?

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ

Bal yureedu kullum ri'im minhum any yu'taa suhufam munashsharah

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ

Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ

Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

Fa man shaaa'a zakarah

Then whoever wills will remember it.

وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ

Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah

And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ

Laaa uqsimu bi yawmil qiyaamah

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ

Wa laaa uqsimu bin nafsil lawwaamah

And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

Ayahsabul insaanu al lan najm'a 'izaamah

Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ

Balaa qaadireena 'alaaa an nusawwiya banaanah

Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ

Bal yureedul insaanu liyafjura amaamah

But man desires to continue in sin.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ

Yas'alu ayyyaana yawmul qiyaamah

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ

Fa izaa bariqal basar

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ

We khasafal qamar

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ

Wa jumi'ash shamusu wal qamar

And the sun and the moon are joined,

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ

Yaqoolul insaanu yaw ma 'izin aynal mafarr

Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?"

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ

Kallaa laa wazar

No! There is no refuge.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ

Ilaa rabbika yawma 'izinil mustaqarr

To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

Yunabba 'ul insaanu yawma 'izim bimaa qaddama wa akhkhar

Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back.

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ

Balil insaanu 'alaa nafsihee baseerah

Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ

Wa law alqaa ma'aazeerah

Even if he presents his excuses.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ

Laa tuharrik bihee lisaa naka lita'jala bih

Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ

Inna 'alainaa jam'ahoo wa qur aanah

Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ

Fa izaa qaraanaahu fattabi' qur aanah

So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ

Summa inna 'alainaa bayaanah

Then upon Us is its clarification [to you].
