75:1  Nay, (it is not like what you imagine,) I swear by the Day of Resurrection

75:2  And I swear by the self-reproaching soul (at the doing of an evil deed as an evidence to the truth of Final Resurrection)

75:3  Does a human-being think that We will not assemble his bones? (We will indeed.

75:4  No doubt, We have the power to reproduce him to a complete form even to the very tips of his fingers

75:5  (His denial of Resurrection is because) a human being likes to continue in his evil ways in (the life) that is before him (without fearing the consequences of his deeds)

75:6  He asks (with contempt and doubt), `When shall the Day of Resurrection come to be?

75:7  (It shall be the day) when the sight (of a person) is confused (and he is confounded for being unable to find the right course)

75:8  And the moon will eclipse

75:9  And the sun and the moon will be brought together

75:10  The human being shall say on that day, `Whither to flee?

75:11  To nowhere at all, there is no refuge

75:12  Upon that day the recourse shall be to your Lord

75:13  Upon that day every soul shall be informed about all his commissions and omissions

75:14  Rather a human being is himself well-aware of his own self (and so himself is a witness against his own soul)

75:15  (No excuse will be accepted from him) even though he puts forth his (all possible) excuses, (to prove his innocence)

75:16  (Prophet! when We reveal the Qur'an) do not move your tongue (with a mind) to repeat (this revelation in order to commit it to your memory) hurriedly

75:17  The responsibility of its collection and its arrangement lies on Us

75:18  When We recite it, then follow its recitation

75:19  The responsibility of explaining it lies again on Us

75:20  Behold! you people love the present transient (life)

75:21  And neglect the Hereafter

75:22  On that day some faces will be fresh, beaming and bright

75:23  Looking (absorbed in the vision of) their Lord

75:24  And also on that day some faces will look gloomy and dismal

75:25  Because they will realise that a back breaking calamity is about to befall them

75:26  Behold! when it (- the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat (to leave his body in death

75:27  And (when those around the dying person say), `Who is the physician to cure and save him?

75:28  And he himself realizes that it is the (time of) parting

75:29  And one shank rubs against the other (in death agony) and one distress will be combined with another distress (for the departing soul)

75:30  On that day people will be driven towards your Lord (to reap the fruit of the deeds done in this life)

75:31  For this person (being unmindful of the consequences) neither accepted the truth nor offered Prayer

75:32  Rather he cried lies (to the truth and the Prophet) and turned away (refusing to obey His commandments)

75:33  Then he went to his kinsfolk strutting along (in false pride)

75:34  Woe be to you! then woe upon woe (in this very life)

75:35  Again (in the Hereafter) woe be to you, then woe upon woe

75:36  Does a person think that he will be left alone without purpose

75:37  Was he not a small drop of semen ejected (into a proper place)

75:38  (Which drop) then became a clot of blood, then He fashioned (him through various stages) and perfected (him in his make)

75:39  Then He made of him a pair, the male and the female

75:40  Has not such a One (Who creates from an inanimate source) the power of raising the (physically and spiritually) dead to life
