75:1  Nay! I swear by (or call to witness) the Day of Resurrection

75:2  Nay! I swear by (or call to witness) the self-accusing soul

75:3  Does man think that We shall not gather his bones

75:4  Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertip

75:5  Nay! Man desires to give the lie to what is before him

75:6  He asks, "When is the day of resurrection?"

75:7  So when the sight becomes dazzled

75:8  And the moon becomes dark

75:9  And the sun and the moon are brought together

75:10  Man shall say on that day, "Whither can I flee for refuge?"

75:11  By no means! There shall be no place of refuge

75:12  With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest

75:13  Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and what he put off

75:14  Nay! Man is telling evidence against himself

75:15  Though he puts forth his excuses

75:16  Move not your tongue with it (the Quran) to make haste with it

75:17  Surely it is for Us to collect it and to recite (or enact) it

75:18  Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation

75:19  Nay, more, it is for Us to explain (and clarify) it

75:20  Nay! But you do love the fleeting Now

75:21  And neglect the Hereafter

75:22  Some faces on that Day shall be bright

75:23  Looking to their Lord

75:24  And other faces on that Day shall be gloomy

75:25  Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity

75:26  Nay! When the soul comes up to the throat

75:27  And it is said, "Who will be a magician (to restore him)

75:28  And he is sure that it is the time of partin

75:29  And one leg will be tied to another (i.e. after death)

75:30  To your Lord on that day shall be the driving

75:31  So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray

75:32  But called the truth a lie and turned back

75:33  Then he went to his folk, arrogant

75:34  Nearer unto you and nearer (comes the doom)

75:35  Again, nearer unto you and nearer (comes the doom)

75:36  Does man think that he is to be left to wander aimless (or purposeless)

75:37  Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements

75:38  Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect

75:39  Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female

75:40  Is not He able to give life to the dead
