لَا تُحَرِّكۡ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعۡجَلَ بِهِۦٓ

La tuharrik bihi lisanaka litaAAjala bihi

Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur´an) to make haste therewith.

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا جَمۡعَهُۥ وَقُرۡءَانَهُۥ

Inna AAalayna jamAAahu waquranahu

It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعۡ قُرۡءَانَهُۥ

Faitha qaranahu faittabiAA quranahu

But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا بَيَانَهُۥ

Thumma inna AAalayna bayanahu

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):

كـَلَّا بَلۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ

Kalla bal tuhibboona alAAajilata

Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ

Watatharoona alakhirata

And leave alone the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاضِرَةٌ

Wujoohun yawmaithin nadiratun

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٞ

Ila rabbiha nathiratun

Looking towards their Lord;

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بَاسِرَةٞ

Wawujoohun yawmaithin basiratun

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفۡعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٞ

Tathunnu an yufAAala biha faqiratun

In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;

كـَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِيَ

Kalla itha balaghati alttaraqiya

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),

وَقِيلَ مَنۡۜ رَاقٖ

Waqeela man raqin

And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡفِرَاقُ

Wathanna annahu alfiraqu

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;

وَٱلۡتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ

Wailtaffati alssaqu bialssaqi

And one leg will be joined with another:

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡمَسَاقُ

Ila rabbika yawmaithin almasaqu

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
