أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ

As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity[1] –

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see –

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

So as for he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

And preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord[1] and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا

They ask you, [O Muúammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?[1]

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَآ

In what [position] are you that you should mention it?[1]

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

To your Lord is its finality.[1]

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰهَا

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا

It will be, on the Day they see it,[1] as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
