بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا ١

When Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake

2

وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا ٢

And Earth yieldeth up her burdens,

3

وَقَالَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا ٣

And man saith: What aileth her?

4

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا ٤

That day she will relate her chronicles,

5

بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا ٥

Because thy Lord inspireth her.

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْاْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ ٦

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ ٧
