بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ
2. لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
3. خَافِضَةٌۭ رَّافِعَةٌ
4. إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّۭا
5. وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّۭا
6. فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءًۭ مُّنۢبَثًّۭا
7. وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًۭا ثَلَـٰثَةًۭ
8. فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ
9. وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ
10. وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ
11. أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
12. فِى جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
13. ثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
14. وَقَلِيلٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
15. عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّوْضُونَةٍۢ
16. مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَـٰبِلِينَ
17. يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌۭ مُّخَلَّدُونَ
18. بِأَكْوَابٍۢ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۢ
19. لَا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ
20. وَفَـٰكِهَةٍۢ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ
21. وَلَحْمِ طَيْرٍۢ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
22. وَحُورٌ عِينٌۭ
23. كَأَمْثَـٰلِ ٱللُّؤْلُؤِ ٱلْمَكْنُونِ
24. جَزَآءًۭ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

(…and it continues until verse 96.)

English Translation:

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

1. When the Inevitable Event befalls,
2. there is no denying its happening –
3. bringing some low, raising others high –
4. when the earth will be shaken with a violent shake,
5. and the mountains will be crushed to powder,
6. becoming scattered particles,
7. and you will become three categories:
8. those on the Right – how blessed will they be!
9. those on the Left – how miserable will they be!
10. and the foremost will be the foremost.
11. They are the ones brought nearest [to Allah],
12. in Gardens of Bliss –
13. a multitude from the earlier generations
14. and a few from the later generations –
15. on jeweled thrones,
16. reclining on them, facing each other.
17. They will be waited on by eternal youths
18. with cups, pitchers, and a drink of pure wine
19. that will cause neither headache nor intoxication.
20. And [they will have] fruit of their choice
21. and meat from any bird they desire.
22. And fair maidens with big, beautiful eyes,
23. like pearls kept hidden,
24. as a reward for what they used to do.

(…and it continues until verse 96.)
