| | Hamid S. Aziz rendition of Surah The Overthrowing, The Cessation(at-Takwir)
--- |
|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun is overthrown (or folded up) |
| 81:2 | | And when the stars darken |
| 81:3 | | And when the mountains pass away |
| 81:4 | | And when the she-camels (with young) are left untended |
| 81:5 | | And when the wild beasts are herded togethe |
| 81:6 | | And when the seas swell and boil |
| 81:7 | | And when souls are sorted and reunited |
| 81:8 | | And when the female infant buried alive is aske |
| 81:9 | | For what sin she was killed |
| 81:10 | | And when the Record Books are spread open |
| 81:11 | | And when the heavens are unveiled |
| 81:12 | | And when Hell is kindled up |
| 81:13 | | And when the Garden is brought nigh |
| 81:14 | | Every soul shall then know what it has prepared |
| 81:15 | | But nay! I swear by (or call to witness) the Planets |
| 81:16 | | That run their course and hide themselves |
| 81:17 | | And the Night when it departs |
| 81:18 | | And the Dawn when it breaths away the darkness |
| 81:19 | | Most surely it is the Word of an honourable Messenger |
| 81:20 | | The possessor of power and high rank with the Lord of the Throne |
| 81:21 | | One to be obeyed, and faithful to his trust |
| 81:22 | | And your companion is not one possessed (or mad) |
| 81:23 | | And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | Nor is he a tenacious concealer of the unseen |
| 81:25 | | Nor is it the word of the cursed Satan |
| 81:26 | | Whither then will you go |
| 81:27 | | It is naught but a reminder unto all creation (or all the worlds) |
| 81:28 | | For him among you who wills to go straight |
| 81:29 | | And you will not, unless Allah wills, the Lord (or Cherisher) of Creation (or all the Worlds) |
