1 . When the heaven is cleft asunder ,
2 . When the planets are dispersed ,
3 . When the seas are poured forth ,
4 . And the sepulchres are overturned ,
5 . A soul will know what it hath sent before ( it ) and what left behind .
6 . O man! What hath made thee careless concerning thy Lord , the Bountiful ,
7 . Who created thee , then fashioned , then proportioned thee?
8 . Into whatsover form He will , He casteth thee
9 . Nay , but they deny the Judgment .
10 . Lo ! there are above you guardians ,
11 . Generous and recording ,
12 . Who know ( all ) that ye do .
13 . Lo! the righteous verily will be in delight
14 . And lo! the wicked verily will be in hell ;
15 . They will burn therein on the Day of Judgment ,
16 . And will not be absent thence .
17 . Ah , what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
18 . Again , what will convey unto thee what the Day of Judgment is!
19 . A day on which no soul hath power at all for any ( other ) soul . The ( absolute ) command on that day is Allah ' s .
