56. Vakia · verses 3–7

خَافِضَةٞ رَّافِعَةٌ

Khafidatun rafiAAatun

(Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt;

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا

Itha rujjati alardu rajjan

When the earth shall be shaken to its depths,

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا

Wabussati aljibalu bassan

And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms,

فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا

Fakanat habaan munbaththan

Becoming dust scattered abroad,

وَكُنتُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا ثَلَٰثَةٗ

Wakuntum azwajan thalathatan

And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.
