At-Takwir

إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ ١

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ ٢

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ ٣

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ ٤

And when full-term she-camels1 are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ ٥

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ ٦

And when the seas are filled with flame1

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ ٧

And when the souls are paired1

وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ ٨

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

بِأَيِّ ذَنۢبٖ قُتِلَتۡ ٩

For what sin she was killed

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ ١٠

And when the pages1 are spread [i.e., made public]

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ ١١

And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ ١٢

And when Hellfire is set ablaze
