83:34This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
عَلَى الۡاَرَآٮِٕكِۙ يَنۡظُرُوۡنَؕ ٣٥
83:35On high couches, gazing.
هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ الۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوۡا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَ ٣٦
83:36Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
اِذَا السَّمَآءُ انْشَقَّتۡۙ ١
84:1When the heaven is split asunder
وَاَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡۙ ٢
84:2And attentive to her Lord in fear,
وَاِذَا الۡاَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡؕ ٣
84:3And when the earth is spread out
وَاَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيۡهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡۙ ٤

وَاَذِنَتۡ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتۡؕ ٥
84:5And attentive to her Lord in fear!
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ كَدۡحًا فَمُلٰقِيۡهِۚ ٦
84:6Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
فَاَمَّا مَنۡ اُوۡتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيۡنِهٖۙ ٧
84:7Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
فَسَوۡفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَّسِيۡرًاۙ ٨
84:8He truly will receive an easy reckoning
وَّيَنۡقَلِبُ اِلٰٓى اَهۡلِهٖ مَسۡرُوۡرًاؕ ٩
84:9And will return unto his folk in joy.
وَاَمَّا مَنۡ اُوۡتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ وَرَآءَ ظَهۡرِهٖۙ ١٠
84:10But whoso is given his account behind his back,
فَسَوۡفَ يَدۡعُوۡا ثُبُوۡرًاۙ ١١
84:11He surely will invoke destruction
وَّيَصۡلٰى سَعِيۡرًاؕ ١٢
84:12And be thrown to scorching fire.
اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فِىۡۤ اَهۡلِهٖ مَسۡرُوۡرًاؕ ١٣
84:13He verily lived joyous with his folk,
اِنَّهٗ ظَنَّ اَنۡ لَّنۡ يَّحُوۡرَۛۚ ١٤
84:14He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
بَلٰٓىۛۚ اِنَّ رَبَّهٗ كَانَ بِهٖ بَصِيۡرًاؕ ١٥
84:15Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
فَلَاۤ اُقۡسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِۙ ١٦
84:16Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
وَالَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَۙ ١٧
84:17And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
وَالۡقَمَرِ اِذَا اتَّسَقَۙ ١٨
84:18And by the moon when she is at the full,
لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنۡ طَبَقٍؕ ١٩
84:19That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَۙ ٢٠
84:20What aileth them, then, that they believe not
وَاِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡقُرۡاٰنُ لَا يَسۡجُدُوۡنَؕ۩ ٢١
84:21And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?
