أَإِذا مِتنا وَكُنّا تُرابًا وَعِظامًا أَإِنّا لَمَبعوثونَ

When we are dead and have become dust and bones, will we be resurrected?

أَوَآباؤُنَا الأَوَّلونَ

And our ancient ancestors as well?”

قُل نَعَم وَأَنتُم داخِرونَ

Say, “Yes, and you’ll be subdued.”

فَإِنَّما هِيَ زَجرَةٌ واحِدَةٌ فَإِذا هُم يَنظُرونَ

It will be just a single shout, and behold, they will be staring.

وَقالوا يا وَيلَنا هـٰذا يَومُ الدّينِ

They will exclaim, “Woe to us! This is Judgement Day.”

احشُرُوا الَّذينَ ظَلَموا وَأَزواجَهُم وَما كانوا يَعبُدونَ

Round up those who did wrong, their partners, and what they used to worship.

مِن دونِ اللَّهِ فَاهدوهُم إِلىٰ صِراطِ الجَحيمِ

Apart from God, and guide them to the way to Hell.

وَقِفوهُم ۖ إِنَّهُم مَسئولونَ

But stop them, for they are to be questioned.”

ما لَكُم لا تَناصَرونَ

What’s the matter with you that you don’t help each other?

بَل هُمُ اليَومَ مُستَسلِمونَ

But, on this day, they will be in submission.
