وَإِذَا السَّماءُ كُشِطَت

When the sky is peeled away.

وَإِذَا الجَحيمُ سُعِّرَت

When Hell is set ablaze.

وَإِذَا الجَنَّةُ أُزلِفَت

And when Paradise is brought near.

عَلِمَت نَفسٌ ما أَحضَرَت

Each soul will know what it has prepared.

فَلا أُقسِمُ بِالخُنَّسِ

So, I swear by the receding stars.

وَاللَّيلِ إِذا عَسعَسَ

And by the night as it settles.

وَالصُّبحِ إِذا تَنَفَّسَ

And by the dawn as it breathes.

إِنَّهُ لَقَولُ رَسولٍ كَريمٍ

Indeed, it is the speech of a noble messenger.

ذي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي العَرشِ مَكينٍ

Possessed of strength, secure with the Lord of the Throne.

مُطاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمينٍ

Obeyed and trustworthy.
