| 81:1 | | When the sun shall be folded up |
| 81:2 | | and when the stars shall fall |
| 81:3 | | and when the mountains shall be made to pass away |
| 81:4 | | and when the camels ten months gone with young shall be neglected |
| 81:5 | | and when the wild beasts shall be gathered together |
| 81:6 | | and when the seas shall boil |
| 81:7 | | and when the souls shall be joined again to their bodies |
| 81:8 | | and when the girl who hath been buried alive shall be aske |
| 81:9 | | for what crime she was put to death |
| 81:10 | | and when the books shall be laid open |
| 81:11 | | and when the heaven shall be removed |
| 81:12 | | and when hell shall burn fiercely |
| 81:13 | | and when paradise shall be brought near |
| 81:14 | | Every soul shall know what it hath wrought |
| 81:15 | | Verily I swear by the stars which are retrograde |
| 81:16 | | which move swiftly, and which hide themselves |
| 81:17 | | and by the night, when it cometh on |
| 81:18 | | and by the morning, when it appeareth |
| 81:19 | | that these are the words of an honourable messenger |
| 81:20 | | endued with strengeth, of established dignity in the sight of the possessor of the throne |
| 81:21 | | obeyed by the angels under his authority, and faithful |
| 81:22 | | And your companion Mohammed is not distracted |
| 81:23 | | He had already seen him in the clear horizon |
| 81:24 | | And he suspected not the secrets revealed unto him |
| 81:25 | | Neither are these the words of an accursed devil |
| 81:26 | | Whither, therefore, are ye going |
| 81:27 | | This is no other than an admonition unto all creatures |
| 81:28 | | unto him among you who shall be willing to walk uprightly |
| 81:29 | | But ye shall not will, unless God willeth, the Lord of all creatures |
