84. Al-Inshiqaq (1 to 25)
When the sky has split [open], And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so], And when the earth has been extended…
1 إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
‘ʔiða’ ‘ls:ama’ʔʔu ‘nʃaq:at
When the sky has split [open]
2 وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
wa’ʔaðinat lirab:iha’ waḥuq:at
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
3 وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
wa’ʔiða’ ‘l’ʔarḍu mud:at
And when the earth has been extended
4 وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
wa’ʔalqat ma’ fiyha’ wataxal:at
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
5 وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
wa’ʔaðinat lirab:iha’ waḥuq:at
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
6 يَٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَقِيهِ
yaʔ’ʔay:uha’ ‘l’ʔinsanu ‘ʔin:aka ka’diḥun ‘ʔilay’ rab:ika kadḥanm’ famulaqiyhi
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
7 فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
fa’ʔam:a’ man ‘ʔuwtiya kitabahuw biyamiynihiy
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
8 فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا
fasawfa yuḥa’sabu ḥisa’banm’ yasiyranm’
He will be judged with an easy account
9 وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًۭا
wayanqalibu ‘ʔilay’ʔ ‘ʔahlihiy masruwranm’
And return to his people in happiness.
10 وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
wa’ʔam:a’ man ‘ʔuwtiya kitabahuw wara’ʔʔa ẓahrihiy
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
11 فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًۭا
fasawfa yadʕuw’ èubuwranm’
He will cry out for destruction
12 وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
wayaṣlay’ saʕiyran’
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
13 إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
‘ʔin:ahuw ka’na fiyʔ ‘ʔahlihiy masruwran’
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
14 إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
‘ʔin:ahuw ẓan:a ‘ʔan l:an yaḥuwra
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah ].
15 بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا
balay’ʔ ‘ʔin:a rab:ahuw ka’na bihiy baṣiyranm’
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
16 فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
fala’ʔ ‘ʔuqsimu bi’lʃ:afaqi
So I swear by the twilight glow
17 وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
wa’l:ayli wama’ wasaqa
And [by] the night and what it envelops
18 وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
wa’lqamari ‘ʔiًa’ ‘t:asaqa
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
19 لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ
latarkabun:a ṭabaqan’ ʕan ṭabaqinm
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
20 فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
fama’ lahum la’ yuwʔminuwna
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
21 وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
wa’ʔiًa’ quriyʔa ʕalayhimu ‘lqurʔa’nu la’ yasjuduwna
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah ]?
22 بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
bali ‘l:aًiyna kafaruw’ yukaً:ibuwna
But those who have disbelieved deny,
23 وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
wa’ll:ahu ‘ʔaʕlamu bima’ yuwʕuwna
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
24 فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
fabaʃ:irhum biʕaًa’bin ‘ʔaliymin
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
25 إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّلِحَتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
‘ʔil:a’ ‘l:aًiyna ʔa’manuw’ waʕamiluw’ ‘lṣ:aliḥati lahum ‘ʔajrun ɣayru mamnuwninm
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
