Translation:

بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
When the sun is wound up,
81:1
وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انْكَدَرَتْ
when the stars scatter,
81:2
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
when the mountains are set moving,
81:3
وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
when the pregnant camels are neglected,
81:4
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
when the wild beasts are mustered,
81:5
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
when the seas are set afire,
81:6
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
when the souls are assorted,
81:7
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ
when the girl buried-alive will be asked
81:8
بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ
for what sin she was killed.
81:9
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
When the records [of deeds] are unfolded,
81:10
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ
when the sky is stripped off,
81:11
وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
when hell is set ablaze,
81:12
وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
when paradise is brought near,
81:13
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا أَحْضَرَتْ
then a soul shall know what it has readied [for itself].
81:14
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
So I swear by the stars that return,
81:15
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
the comets,
81:16
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
by the night as it approaches,
81:17
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
by the dawn as it breathes:
81:18
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
it is indeed the speech of a noble apostle,
81:19
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
powerful and eminent with the Lord of the Throne,
81:20
مُطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
one who is obeyed and is trustworthy as well.
81:21
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ
Your companion is not crazy:
81:22
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ
certainly he saw him on the manifest horizon,
81:23
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
and he is not miserly concerning the Unseen.
81:24
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ
And it is not the speech of an outcast Satan.
81:25
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
So where are you going?
81:26
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ
It is just a reminder for all the nations,
81:27
لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيمَ
for those of you who wish to walk straight;
81:28
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
but you will not wish unless it is wished by Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
81:29
