فَإِذا جاءَتِ الطّامَّةُ الكُبرىٰ

When the great overthrow arrives.

يَومَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنسانُ ما سَعىٰ

The Day when man will remember his efforts.

وَبُرِّزَتِ الجَحيمُ لِمَن يَرىٰ

And Hellfire will be exposed for all to see.

فَأَمّا مَن طَغىٰ

But as for him who transgressed.

وَآثَرَ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا

And preferred the life of this world.

وَأَمّا مَن خافَ مَقامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفسَ عَنِ الهَوىٰ

But as for him who feared the position of his Lord, and restrained the soul from desires.

فَإِنَّ الجَنَّةَ هِيَ المَأوىٰ

Paradise will be the sanctuary.

يَسأَلونَكَ عَنِ السّاعَةِ أَيّانَ مُرساها

They ask you about the Hour, “When is its arrival?”

فيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكراها

In what position are you to mention its date?

إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهاها

To your Lord alone, is its ultimate knowledge.
