O man, what deceived you from your generous Lord?

الَّذي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوّاكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

He who created you, shaped you, and proportioned you.

في أَيِّ صورَةٍ ما شاءَ رَكَّبَكَ

In whatever form He willed, He assembled you.

Rather, you deny Judgment.

كِرامًا كاتِبينَ

Noble scribes.

يَعلَمونَ ما تَفعَلونَ

They know all that you do.

إِنَّ الأَبرارَ لَفي نَعيمٍ

The righteous will be in bliss.

وَإِنَّ الفُجّارَ لَفي جَحيمٍ

And the wicked will be in Hell.

يَصلَونَها يَومَ الدّينِ

They will enter it on the Day of Recompense.
