| 81:1 | | When the sun shall be darkened |
| 81:2 | | when the stars shall be thrown down |
| 81:3 | | when the mountains shall be set moving |
| 81:4 | | when the pregnant camels shall be neglected |
| 81:5 | | when the savage beasts shall be mustered |
| 81:6 | | when the seas shall be set boiling |
| 81:7 | | when the souls shall be coupled |
| 81:8 | | when the buried infant shall be aske |
| 81:9 | | for what sin she was slain |
| 81:10 | | when the scrolls shall be unrolled |
| 81:11 | | when heaven shall be stripped off |
| 81:12 | | when Hell shall be set blazing |
| 81:13 | | when Paradise shall be brought nigh |
| 81:14 | | then shall a soul know what it has produced |
| 81:15 | | No! I swear by the slinkers |
| 81:16 | | the runners, the sinkers |
| 81:17 | | by the night swarming |
| 81:18 | | by the dawn sighing |
| 81:19 | | truly this is the word of a noble Messenge |
| 81:20 | | having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure |
| 81:21 | | obeyed, moreover trusty |
| 81:22 | | Your companion is not possessed |
| 81:23 | | he truly saw him on the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | he is not niggardly of the Unseen |
| 81:25 | | And it is not the word of an accursed Satan |
| 81:26 | | where then are you going |
| 81:27 | | It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings |
| 81:28 | | for whosoever of you who would go straight |
| 81:29 | | but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being |
