1When the heaven is split asunder

2And attentive to her Lord in fear

3And when the earth is spread out

4And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty

5And attentive to her Lord in fear

6Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence)

7Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

8He truly will receive an easy reckoning

9And will return unto his folk in joy

10But whoso is given his account behind his back

11He surely will invoke destruction

12And be thrown to scorching fire

13He verily lived joyous with his folk

14He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah)

15Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him

16Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset

17And by the night and all that it enshroudeth

18And by the moon when she is at the full

19That ye shall journey on from plane to plane

20What aileth them, then, that they believe not

21And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)

22Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny

23And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding

24So give them tidings of a painful doom

25Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing
