| 81:1 | | When the sun is folded up |
| 81:2 | | And when the stars do fall |
| 81:3 | | And when the mountains are moved |
| 81:4 | | And when the she-camels ten months gone with young shall be neglected |
| 81:5 | | And when the beasts shall be crowded together |
| 81:6 | | And when the seas shall surge up |
| 81:7 | | And when souls shall be paired with bodies |
| 81:8 | | And when the child who was buried alive shall be aske |
| 81:9 | | for what sin she was slain |
| 81:10 | | And when the pages shall be spread out |
| 81:11 | | And when the heaven shall be flayed |
| 81:12 | | And when hell shall be set ablaze |
| 81:13 | | And when Paradise shall be brought nigh |
| 81:14 | | The soul shall know what it has produced |
| 81:15 | | I need not swear by the stars that slink back |
| 81:16 | | moving swiftly, slinking into their dens |
| 81:17 | | Nor by the night when darkness draws on |
| 81:18 | | Nor by the morn when it first breathes up |
| 81:19 | | Verily, it is the speech of a noble apostle |
| 81:20 | | mighty, standing sure with the Lord of the throne |
| 81:21 | | obeyed and trusty too |
| 81:22 | | Your comrade is not mad |
| 81:23 | | he saw him on the plain horizon |
| 81:24 | | nor does he grudge to communicate the unseen |
| 81:25 | | Nor is it the speech of a pelted devil |
| 81:26 | | Then whither do ye go |
| 81:27 | | It is but a reminder to the worlds |
| 81:28 | | to whomsoever of you pleases to go straight: |
| 81:29 | | but ye will not please, except God, the Lord of the world, should please |
