إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

Izash shamsu kuwwirat

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ

Wa izan nujoomun kadarat

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

Wa izal jibaalu suyyirat

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ

Wa izal 'ishaaru 'uttilat

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

Wa izal wuhooshu hushirat

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ

Wa izal bihaaru sujjirat

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ

Wa izan nufoosu zuwwijat

And when the souls are paired

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ

Wa izal maw'oodatu su'ilat

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْ

Bi ayyi zambin qutilat

For what sin she was killed

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

Wa izas suhufu nushirat

And when the pages are made public
