وَإِذَا النُّجومُ انكَدَرَت

When the stars are darkened.

وَإِذَا الجِبالُ سُيِّرَت

When the mountains are set in motion.

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 المَوءودَةُ سُئِلَت

When the female, buried alive, is asked.

بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَت

For what sin was she put to death?

وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَت

When the pages are spread open.

وَإِذَا السَّماءُ كُشِطَت

When the sky is peeled away.

وَإِذَا الجَحيمُ سُعِّرَت

When Hell is set ablaze.
