|---|
| 81:1 | | When the sun is rolled up |
| 81:2 | | When the stars are dimmed |
| 81:3 | | When the mountains are set in motion |
| 81:4 | | When the relationships are suspended |
| 81:5 | | When the beasts are gathered |
| 81:6 | | When the oceans are set aflame |
| 81:7 | | When the souls are paired |
| 81:8 | | When the girl, buried alive, is asked |
| 81:9 | | For what crime was she killed |
| 81:10 | | When the records are made public |
| 81:11 | | When the sky is peeled away |
| 81:12 | | When the Fire is set ablaze |
| 81:13 | | When Paradise is brought near |
| 81:14 | | Each soul will know what it has readied |
| 81:15 | | I swear by the galaxies |
| 81:16 | | Precisely running their courses |
| 81:17 | | And by the night as it recedes |
| 81:18 | | And by the morn as it breathes |
| 81:19 | | This is the speech of a noble messenger |
| 81:20 | | Endowed with power, eminent with the Lord of the Throne. |
| 81:21 | | Obeyed and honest |
| 81:22 | | Your friend is not possessed |
| 81:23 | | He saw him on the luminous horizon |
| 81:24 | | And He does not withhold knowledge of the Unseen |
| 81:25 | | And it is not the word of an accursed devil |
| 81:26 | | So where are you heading |
| 81:27 | | It is only a Reminder to all mankind |
| 81:28 | | To whoever of you wills to go straight |
| 81:29 | | But you cannot will, unless God wills—The Lord of the Worlds |
