      إِذَا ٱلسَّمَاءُ ٱنْفَطَرَتْ
      وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنْتَثَرَتْ
      وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ
      وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ
      عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
      ʔiḏā s-samāʔu nfaṭarat
      wa-ʔiḏā l-kawākibu ntaṯarat

      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.
