يَومَ تَرجُفُ الرّاجِفَةُ

On the Day when the Trembler shudders.

تَتبَعُهَا الرّادِفَةُ

And is followed by the Successor.

قُلوبٌ يَومَئِذٍ واجِفَةٌ

On that Day, hearts will be pounding.

أَبصارُها خاشِعَةٌ

Their eyes downcast in humility.

يَقولونَ أَإِنّا لَمَردودونَ فِي الحافِرَةِ

They question, “Are we to be restored from the graves?

قالوا تِلكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خاسِرَةٌ

They say, “That would be a useless return.”

فَإِنَّما هِيَ زَجرَةٌ واحِدَةٌ

Yet, it will only be a single jolt.

فَإِذا هُم بِالسّاهِرَةِ

And suddenly, they will be fully awake.

هَل أَتاكَ حَديثُ موسىٰ

Did the story of Moses reach you?

إِذ ناداهُ رَبُّهُ بِالوادِ المُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

When his Lord called to him, in the sacred valley of Tuwa.
