| الْقَارِعَةُ (1) The Calamity |
| مَا الْقَارِعَةُ (2) What is the Calamity |
| وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ (3) And what do you know what the Calamity is |
| يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ (4) On that Day human beings shall be like scattered moths |
| وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ (5) and the mountains shall be like fluffs of carded wool in varying colours |
| فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ (6) Then he whose scales weigh heavier |
| فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ (7) shall have a blissful life |
| وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ (8) but he whose scales weigh lighter |
| فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ (9) his shall be the deep pit for a dwelling |
| وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ (10) And what do you know what that is |
| نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ (11) A Blazing Fire |
