بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ﴿1﴾

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ﴿2﴾

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

خَافِضَةٌۭ رَّافِعَةٌ ﴿3﴾

It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّۭا ﴿4﴾

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّۭا ﴿5﴾

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتْ هَبَآءًۭ مُّنۢبَثًّۭا ﴿6﴾

And become dust dispersing.

وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا ثَلَٰثَةًۭ ﴿7﴾

And you become [of] three kinds:

فَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ﴿8﴾

Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?

وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ﴿9﴾

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?

وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ﴿10﴾

And the forerunners, the forerunners -

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ﴿11﴾

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

فِى جَنَّٰتِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿12﴾

In the Gardens of Pleasure,

ثُلَّةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿13﴾

A [large] company of the former peoples

وَقَلِيلٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿14﴾

And a few of the later peoples,

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّوْضُونَةٍۢ ﴿15﴾

On thrones woven [with ornament],

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ ﴿16﴾

Reclining on them, facing each other.

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌۭ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ﴿17﴾

There will circulate among them young boys made eternal

بِأَكْوَابٍۢ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍۢ مِّن مَّعِينٍۢ ﴿18﴾

With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -

لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ﴿19﴾

No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -

وَفَٰكِهَةٍۢ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ ﴿20﴾

And fruit of what they select
