     إِذَا السَّمَاءُ ٱنْفَطَرَتْ
     وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنْتَثَرَتْ
     وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
     وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
     عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ

     ʔiḏā s-samāʔu nfaṭarat
     waʔiḏā l-kawākibu ntaṯarat
     waʔiḏā l-biḥāru fujjirat
     waʔiḏā l-qubūru buʕṯirat
     ʕalimat nafsun mā qaddamat waʔaḵḵarat

     When the sky breaks apart,
     And when the stars commence to scatter,
     And when the seas gush forth,
     And when the graves are strewn,
     A soul will know what it has put forward and what it has set back.
