وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

when Hell is that Day brought near- on that Day man will take heed, but what good will that be to him then?

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ

that We have created man for toil and trial.

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِىٓ أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ

We create man in the finest state

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ

He created manfrom a clinging form.

عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ

who taught man what he did not know.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ

But man exceeds all bounds

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا

when man cries, ‘What is happening to it?’;

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا۟ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ

On that Day, people will come forward in separate groups to be shown their deeds:

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ

man is ungrateful to his Lord––

يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ

On a Day when people will be like scattered moths

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ

man is [deep] in loss,

وَرَأَيْتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِى دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا

when you see people embracing God’s faith in crowds,

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ

Say, ‘I seek refuge with the Lord of people,

مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ

the Controller of people,

إِلَـٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ

the God of people,

ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ

who whispers into the hearts of people––

مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ

whether they be jinn or people.’
