| 75:1 | | I need not swear by the resurrection day |
| 75:2 | | Nor need I swear by the self-accusing soul |
| 75:3 | | Does man think that we shall not collect his bones |
| 75:4 | | Able are we to arrange his finger tips |
| 75:5 | | Nay, but man wishes to be wicked henceforward |
| 75:6 | | he asks, When is the resurrection day |
| 75:7 | | But when the sight shall be dazed |
| 75:8 | | and the moon be eclipsed |
| 75:9 | | and the sun and the moon be together |
| 75:10 | | and man shall say upon that day, 'Where is a place to flee to?' |
| 75:11 | | nay, no refuge |
| 75:12 | | and to thy Lord that day is the sure settlement |
| 75:13 | | He will inform man on that day of what He has sent forward or delayed |
| 75:14 | | Nay, man is an evidence against himself |
| 75:15 | | and even if he thrusts forward his excuses |
| 75:16 | | Do not move thy tongue thereby to hasten it |
| 75:17 | | It is for us to collect it and to read it |
| 75:18 | | and when we read it then follow its reading |
| 75:19 | | And again it is for us to explain it |
| 75:20 | | Nay, indeed, but ye love the transient life |
| 75:21 | | and ye neglect the hereafter |
| 75:22 | | Faces on that day shall be bright |
| 75:23 | | gazing on their Lord |
| 75:24 | | And faces on that day shall be dismal |
| 75:25 | | Thou wilt think that a back-breaking calamity has happened to them |
| 75:26 | | Nay, but when the [soul] comes up into the throat |
| 75:27 | | and it is said, 'Who will charm it back? |
| 75:28 | | and he will think that it is his parting [hour] |
| 75:29 | | And leg shall be pressed on leg |
| 75:30 | | unto thy Lord on that day shall the driving be |
| 75:31 | | For he did not believes and did not pray |
| 75:32 | | but he said it was a lie, and turned his back |
| 75:33 | | Then he went to his people haughtily |
| 75:34 | | woe to thee, and woe to thee |
| 75:35 | | again woe to thee, and woe to thee |
| 75:36 | | Does man think that he shall be left to himself |
| 75:37 | | Wasn't he a clot of emitted seed |
| 75:38 | | Then he was congealed blood, and (God) created him, and fashioned him |
| 75:39 | | and made of him pairs, male and female |
| 75:40 | | Is not He able to quicken the dead |
