| 75:1 | | I swear an oath by the Day of Resurrection. |
| 75:2 | | And I swear an oath by the reproachful soul. |
| 75:3 | | Assumes the human being that We will never gather his bones? |
| 75:4 | | Yea! We are ones who have power to shape his fingers again. |
| 75:5 | | Nay! The human being wants to act immorally in front of him. |
| 75:6 | | He asks: When is this Day of Resurrection? |
| 75:7 | | But when their sight will be astonished |
| 75:8 | | and the moon will cause the earth to be swallowed |
| 75:9 | | and the sun and the moon will be gathered, |
| 75:10 | | the human being will say on that Day: Where is a place to run away to? |
| 75:11 | | No indeed! There is no refuge. |
| 75:12 | | With thy Lord on this Day will be thy recourse. |
| 75:13 | | The human being will be told on that Day what he put forward and what he postponed. |
| 75:14 | | Nay! The human being is clear evidence against himself. |
| 75:15 | | And although he would cast his excuses, |
| 75:16 | | impel not thy tongue to hasten it. |
| 75:17 | | Truly, on Us is his amassing and its Recitation. |
| 75:18 | | But when We recited it, follow thou its Recitation. |
| 75:19 | | From Us after that is its clear explanation. |
| 75:20 | | No indeed! Nay! You love that which hastens away |
| 75:21 | | and forsake the world to come. |
| 75:22 | | Faces on that Day will be ones that beam, |
| 75:23 | | ones that look towards their Lord. |
| 75:24 | | And faces on that day will be ones that scowl. |
| 75:25 | | Thou will think that against them is wreaked a crushing calamity. |
| 75:26 | | No indeed! When it reached the collar bones at death |
| 75:27 | | and it was said: Where is one who is a wizard to save me? |
| 75:28 | | And he thought it to be his parting |
| 75:29 | | and one leg was intertwined with the other leg, |
| 75:30 | | that Day he will be driving toward thy Lord |
| 75:31 | | for he established not the true nor invoked blessings |
| 75:32 | | and he denied and turned away. |
| 75:33 | | He went to his people again, going arrogantly. |
| 75:34 | | Closer to thee! And closer to thee! |
| 75:35 | | Again closer to thee! And closer to thee! |
| 75:36 | | Assumes the human being that he will be left aimless? |
| 75:37 | | Was he not a sperm-drop to be emitted in seminal fluid? |
| 75:38 | | Again, he had been a clot and He created him and shaped him. |
| 75:39 | | Then, He made of him two pairs, the male and the female. |
| 75:40 | | Is not that One Who Has Power over that able to give life to the dead? |
