Al-Infitar

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ

ʹIẓas Samaaaʹuñ faṭarat;

When the sky breaks apart

وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ

Wa-ʹiẓal kawaakibuñ tas̤arat;

And when the stars fall, scattering,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ

Wa-ʹiẓal biḥaaru fujjirat;

And when the seas are erupted

وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ

Wa-ʹiẓal q̣ubooru buʻs̤irat;

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered [i.e., exposed],

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

ʻAlimat nafsum maa q̣addamat wa-ʹakhkharat.

A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ

Yaaaʹayyuhal ʹiñsaanu maa- g̣arraka bi-Rabbikal Kareem?―

O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ

ʹAllaẓee khalaq̣aka fasawwaaka faʻadalak;

Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ

Feee ʹayyi Ṣooratim maa shaaaʹa rakkabak.

In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ

Kallaa bal tukaẓẓiboona bid-Deen!

No! But you deny the Recompense.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَـٰفِظِينَ

Wa-ʹinna ʻalaykum laḥaafiz̤̣een,―

And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

كِرَامًا كَـٰتِبِينَ

Kiraamañ Kaatibeen:

Noble and recording;

يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

Yaʻlamoona maa- tafʻaloon.

They know whatever you do.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ

ʹInnal ʹabraara lafee Naʻeem;

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍ

Wa-ʹinnal fujjaara lafee Jaḥeem.

And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

Yaṣlawnahaa Yawmad Deen.

They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ

Wa-maa hum ʻanhaa big̣aaaʹibeen.

And never therefrom will they be absent.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

Wa-maaa ʹadraaka maa- Yawmud Deen?

And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ

S̤umma maaa ʹadraaka maa- Yawmud Deen?

Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلَّهِ

Yawma laa- tamliku nafsul linafsiñ shayʹaa: walʹAmru Yawmaʹiẓil lillaah.

It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allāh.
