Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 75 Aya 1 to 40
 
  1   [ 75: 1 ] Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.
  2   [ 75: 2 ] Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.
  3   [ 75: 3 ] Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
  4   [ 75: 4 ] Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips
  5   [ 75: 5 ] Nay! man desires to give the lie to what is before him.
  6   [ 75: 6 ] He asks: When is the day of resurrection?
  7   [ 75: 7 ] So when the sight becomes dazed,
  8   [ 75: 8 ] And the moon becomes dark,
  9   [ 75: 9 ] And the sun and the moon are brought together,
  10   [ 75: 10 ] Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
  11   [ 75: 11 ] By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!
  12   [ 75: 12 ] With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.
  13   [ 75: 13 ] Man shall on that day be informed of what he sent before and ( what he ) put off.
  14   [ 75: 14 ] Nay! man is evidence against himself,
  15   [ 75: 15 ] Though he puts forth his excuses.
  16   [ 75: 16 ] Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
  17   [ 75: 17 ] Surely on Us ( devolves ) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
  18   [ 75: 18 ] Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.
  19   [ 75: 19 ] Again on Us ( devolves ) the explaining of it.
  20   [ 75: 20 ] Nay! But you love the present life,
  21   [ 75: 21 ] And neglect the hereafter.
  22   [ 75: 22 ] ( Some ) faces on that day shall be bright,
  23   [ 75: 23 ] Looking to their Lord.
  24   [ 75: 24 ] And ( other ) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
  25   [ 75: 25 ] Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
  26   [ 75: 26 ] Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
  27   [ 75: 27 ] And it is said: Who will be a magician?
  28   [ 75: 28 ] And he is sure that it is the ( hour of ) parting
  29   [ 75: 29 ] And affliction is combined with affliction;
  30   [ 75: 30 ] To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
  31   [ 75: 31 ] So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
  32   [ 75: 32 ] But called the truth a lie and turned back,
  33   [ 75: 33 ] Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
  34   [ 75: 34 ] Nearer to you ( is destruction ) and nearer,
  35   [ 75: 35 ] Again ( consider how ) nearer to you and nearer.
  36   [ 75: 36 ] Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
  37   [ 75: 37 ] Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
  38   [ 75: 38 ] Then he was a clot of blood, so He created ( him ) then made ( him ) perfect.
  39   [ 75: 39 ] Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
  40   [ 75: 40 ] Is not He able to give life to the dead?
