NAY! I call to witness the Day of Resurrection!

2

وَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ 

But nay! I call to witness the accusing voice of man's own conscience!

3

أَیَحۡسَبُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجۡمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ 

Does man think that We cannot [resurrect him and] bring his bones together again?

بَلَىٰ قَـٰدِرِینَ عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّسَوِّیَ بَنَانَهُۥ 

Yea indeed, We are able to make whole his very finger-tips!

بَلۡ یُرِیدُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ لِیَفۡجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ 

None the less man chooses to deny what lies ahead of him,

یَسۡءَلُ أَیَّانَ یَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ 

asking [derisively], "When is that Resurrection Day to be?"

9

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ 

and the sun and the moon are brought together

10

یَقُولُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ یَوۡمَئِذٍ أَیۡنَ ٱلۡمَفَرُّ 

on that Day will man exclaim "Whither to flee?"
