Meccanإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتۡ
جب آسمان پھٹ پڑے،
وَإِذَا ٱلۡكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتۡ
اور جب تارے جھڑ پڑیں،
وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتۡ
اور جب سمندر بہادیے جائیں
وَإِذَا ٱلۡقُبُورُ بُعۡثِرَتۡ
اور جب قبریں کریدی جائیں
عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ وَأَخَّرَتۡ
ہر جان، جان لے گی جو اس نے آگے بھیجا اور جو پیچھے
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلۡكَرِيمِ
اے آدمی! تجھے کس چیز نے فریب دیا اپنے کرم والے رب سے
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ
جس نے تجھے پیدا کیا پھر ٹھیک بنایا پھر ہموار فرمایا
فِيٓ أَيِّ صُورَةٖ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ
جس صورت میں چاہا تجھے ترکیب دیا
كَلَّا بَلۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ
کوئی نہیں بلکہ تم انصاف ہونے کو جھٹلانتے ہو
وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَحَٰفِظِينَ
اور بیشک تم پر کچھ نگہبان ہیں
كِرَامٗا كَٰتِبِينَ
معزز لکھنے والے
يَعۡلَمُونَ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ
جانتے ہیں جو کچھ تم کرو
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٖ
بیشک نِکو کار ضرور چین میں ہیں
وَإِنَّ ٱلۡفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٖ
اور بیشک بدکار ضرور دوزخ میں ہیں،
يَصۡلَوۡنَهَا يَوۡمَ ٱلدِّينِ
انصاف کے دن اس میں جائیں گے،
وَمَا هُمۡ عَنۡهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
اور اس سے کہیں چھپ نہ سکیں گے،
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
اور تو کیا جانیں کیسا انصاف کا دن،
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ
پھر تو کیا جانے کیسا انصاف کا دن،
يَوۡمَ لَا تَمۡلِكُ نَفۡسٞ لِّنَفۡسٖ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلَّهِ
جس دن کوئی جان کسی جان کا کچھ اختیار نہ رکھے گی اور سارا حکم اس دن اللہ کا ہے،
