In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
| 81:1 | When the sun is covered, |
| 81:2 | And when the stars darken, |
| 81:3 | And when the mountains are made to pass away, |
| 81:4 | And when the camels are left untended, |
| 81:5 | And when the wild animals are made to go forth, |
| 81:6 | And when the seas are set on fire, |
| 81:7 | And when souls are united, |
| 81:8 | And when the female infant buried alive is asked |
| 81:9 | For what sin she was killed, |
| 81:10 | And when the books are spread, |
| 81:11 | And when the heaven has its covering removed, |
| 81:12 | And when the hell is kindled up, |
| 81:13 | And when the garden is brought nigh, |
| 81:14 | Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared. |
| 81:15 | But nay! I swear by the stars, |
| 81:16 | That run their course (and) hide themselves, |
| 81:17 | And the night when it departs, |
| 81:18 | And the morning when it brightens, |
| 81:19 | Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, |
| 81:20 | The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, |
| 81:21 | One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust. |
| 81:22 | And your companion is not gone mad. |
| 81:23 | And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon. |
| 81:24 | Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer. |
| 81:25 | Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan, |
| 81:26 | Whither then will you go? |
| 81:27 | It is naught but a reminder for the nations, |
| 81:28 | For him among you who pleases to go straight. |
| 81:29 | And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. |
