| 85:1 | | By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs |
| 85:2 | | By the promised Day (of Judgment) |
| 85:3 | | By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness; |
| 85:4 | | Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire) |
| 85:5 | | Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel |
| 85:6 | | Behold! they sat over against the (fire) |
| 85:7 | | And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers |
| 85:8 | | And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise! |
| 85:9 | | Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things |
| 85:10 | | Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire |
| 85:11 | | For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires) |
| 85:12 | | Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord |
| 85:13 | | It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life) |
| 85:14 | | And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness |
| 85:15 | | Lord of the Throne of Glory |
| 85:16 | | Doer (without let) of all that He intends |
| 85:17 | | Has the story reached thee, of the forces |
| 85:18 | | Of Pharaoh and the Thamud |
| 85:19 | | And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth) |
| 85:20 | | But Allah doth encompass them from behind |
| 85:21 | | Day, this is a Glorious Qur'an |
| 85:22 | | (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved |
