فَأَمَّا الإِنسانُ إِذا مَا ابتَلاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقولُ رَبّي أَكرَمَنِ
As for man: when his Lord tests him, honors him, and blesses him, he says, “My Lord has honored me.”
وَأَمّا إِذا مَا ابتَلاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيهِ رِزقَهُ فَيَقولُ رَبّي أَهانَنِ
Yet, when He tests him and restricts his provision, he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.”
كَلّا ۖ بَل لا تُكرِمونَ اليَتيمَ
But no! You don’t honor the orphan.
وَلا تَحاضّونَ عَلىٰ طَعامِ المِسكينِ
And you don’t encourage one another to feed the poor.
وَتَأكُلونَ التُّراثَ أَكلًا لَمًّا
And you devour inheritance with all greed.
كَلّا إِذا دُكَّتِ الأَرضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
When the earth is leveled, pounded, and pulverized.
وَجاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
And your Lord comes and the angels, rank upon rank.
وَجِيءَ يَومَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَومَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنسانُ وَأَنّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكرىٰ
On that Day, Hell will be presented. On that Day, man will remember, but how will remembrance avail him?
يَقولُ يا لَيتَني قَدَّمتُ لِحَياتي
He will say, “Oh, I wish I had prepared for my life!”
فَيَومَئِذٍ لا يُعَذِّبُ عَذابَهُ أَحَدٌ
On that Day, none will punish as His punishment.
