1 . When the heaven is split asunder
2 . And attentive to her Lord in fear ,
3 . And when the earth is spread out
4 . And hath cast out all that was in her , and is empty
5 . And attentive to her Lord in fear!
6 . Thou , verily , O man , art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet ( in His presence ) .
7 . Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
8 . He truly will receive an easy reckoning
9 . And will return unto his folk in joy .
10 . But whoso is given his account behind his back ,
11 . He surely will invoke destruction
12 . And be thrown to scorching fire .
13 . He verily lived joyous with his folk ,
14 . He verily deemed that he would never return ( unto Allah ) .
15 . Nay , but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
16 . Oh , I swear by the afterglow of sunset ,
17 . And by the night and all that it enshroudeth ,
18 . And by the moon when she is at the full ,
19 . That ye shall journey on from plane to plane .
20 . What aileth them , then , that they believe not
21 . And , when the Quran is recited unto them , worship not ( Allah ) ?
22 . Nay , but those who disbelieve will deny ;
23 . And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding .
24 . So give them tidings of a painful doom ,
25 . Save those who believe and do good works , for theirs is a reward unfailing .
