كَلّا بَل تُحِبّونَ العاجِلَةَ

Yet, you love the fleeting life.

وَتَذَرونَ الآخِرَةَ

And neglect the Hereafter.

وُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ ناضِرَةٌ

Faces on that Day will be radiant.

إِلىٰ رَبِّها ناظِرَةٌ

Looking towards their Lord.

وَوُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ باسِرَةٌ

And, on that Day, faces will be gloomy.

كَلّا إِذا بَلَغَتِ التَّراقِيَ

When it has reached the collarbones.

وَقيلَ مَن ۜ راقٍ

And it will be asked, ‘Is there a healer?’

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الفِراقُ

Then comes the realization that it’s time to depart.

وَالتَفَّتِ السّاقُ بِالسّاقِ

As one leg intertwines with the other.

إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ يَومَئِذٍ المَساقُ

On that Day, the voyage will be towards your Lord.
