[75:1] Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.

[75:2] Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.

[75:3] Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?

[75:4] Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips

[75:5] Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.

[75:6] He asks: When is the day of resurrection?

[75:7] So when the sight becomes dazed,

[75:8] And the moon becomes dark,

[75:9] And the sun and the moon are brought together,

[75:10] Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?

[75:11] By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!

[75:12] With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.

[75:13] Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and (what he) put off.

[75:14] Nay! man is evidence against himself,

[75:15] Though he puts forth his excuses.

[75:16] Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,

[75:17] Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.

[75:18] Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.

[75:19] Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.

[75:20] Nay! But you love the present life,

[75:21] And neglect the hereafter.

[75:22] (Some) faces on that day shall be bright,

[75:23] Looking to their Lord.

[75:24] And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,

[75:25] Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.

[75:26] Nay! When it comes up to the throat,

[75:27] And it is said: Who will be a magician?

[75:28] And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting

[75:29] And affliction is combined with affliction;

[75:30] To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.

[75:31] So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,

[75:32] But called the truth a lie and turned back,

[75:33] Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.

[75:34] Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,

[75:35] Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.

[75:36] Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?

[75:37] Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,

[75:38] Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.

[75:39] Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.

[75:40] Is not He able to give life to the dead?
