بَلىٰ قادِرينَ عَلىٰ أَن نُسَوِّيَ بَنانَهُ

Indeed, We are able to reconstitute his fingertips.

بَل يُريدُ الإِنسانُ لِيَفجُرَ أَمامَهُ

Yet, man desires to persist in his sinful ways.

يَسأَلُ أَيّانَ يَومُ القِيامَةِ

He questions, “When is Resurrection Day?”

فَإِذا بَرِقَ البَصَرُ

But when the sight is dazed.

وَخَسَفَ القَمَرُ

And the moon is eclipsed.

يَقولُ الإِنسانُ يَومَئِذٍ أَينَ المَفَرُّ

On that Day, man will ask, “Where is the escape?”

كَلّا لا وَزَرَ

No, there is no refuge.

إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ يَومَئِذٍ المُستَقَرُّ

To your Lord, on that Day, will be the settlement.

يُنَبَّأُ الإِنسانُ يَومَئِذٍ بِما قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

On that Day, man will be informed of everything he put forward, and everything he left behind.

بَلِ الإِنسانُ عَلىٰ نَفسِهِ بَصيرَةٌ

Yet man will be a witness against himself.
