بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ إِذَا الشَّمسُ كُوِّرَت
When the sun is wrapped up.
وَإِذَا النُّجومُ انكَدَرَت
When the stars are darkened.
وَإِذَا العِشارُ عُطِّلَت
When the relationships are severed.
وَإِذَا الوُحوشُ حُشِرَت
When the beasts are gathered together.
وَإِذَا البِحارُ سُجِّرَت
When the seas are set aflame.
وَإِذَا النُّفوسُ زُوِّجَت
When the souls are paired.
وَإِذَا المَوءودَةُ سُئِلَت
When the female, buried alive, is asked.
