99. Zelzele · verses 1–5

إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا

Itha zulzilati alardu zilzalaha

When the earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion,

وَأَخۡرَجَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ أَثۡقَالَهَا

Waakhrajati alardu athqalaha

And the earth throws up her burdens (from within),

وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا

Waqala alinsanu ma laha

And man cries (distressed): ´What is the matter with her?´-

يَوۡمَئِذٖ تُحَدِّثُ أَخۡبَارَهَا

Yawmaithin tuhaddithu akhbaraha

On that Day will she declare her tidings:

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوۡحَىٰ لَهَا

Bianna rabbaka awha laha

For that thy Lord will have given her inspiration.
