يَوۡمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلۡفَرَاشِ ٱلۡمَبۡثُوثِ ٤

It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,¹

وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٱلۡمَنفُوشِ ٥

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ٨

But as for one whose scales are light,

فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٞ ٩

His refuge¹ will be an abyss.²

And what can make you know what that is?

نَارٌ حَامِيَةُۢ ١١
