Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin

Then do you see of them any remains

LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun

Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun

Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun

That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقۡرَءُواْ كِتَٰبِيَهۡ

Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah

Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima aslaftum fee alayyami alkhaliyati

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِيَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي لَمۡ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهۡ

Waamma man ootiya kitabahu bishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah

But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

وَلَمۡ أَدۡرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهۡ

Walam adri ma hisabiyah

And had not known what is my account

يَٰلَيۡتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلۡقَاضِيَةَ

Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu

I wish my death had been the decisive one

Thumma aljaheema salloohu

Then into Hellfire drive him

ثُمَّ فِي سِلۡسِلَةٖ ذَرۡعُهَا سَبۡعُونَ ذِرَاعٗا فَٱسۡلُكُوهُ

Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu

Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi

Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ

Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor

فَلَيۡسَ لَهُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٞ

Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun

So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنۡ غِسۡلِينٖ

Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds

لَّا يَأۡكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡخَٰطِـُٔونَ

None will eat it except the sinners

Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona

So I swear by what you see

وَمَا لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

Wama la tubsiroona

And what you do not see

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ

Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ

Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe

وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds

وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ

Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli

And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings

لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni

We would have seized him by the right hand

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِينَ

Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

Then We would have cut from him the aorta

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَٰجِزِينَ

Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous

وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ

Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
