In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence; (1)

By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed); (2)

And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy), (3)

Then press forward as in a race, (4)

Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord), (5)

One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion, (6)

Followed by oft-repeated (commotions): (7)

Hearts that Day will be in agitation; (8)

Cast down will be (their owners') eyes. (9)

They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state? (10)
