إِذَاوَقَعَتِٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ١

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَيۡسَلِوَقۡعَتِهَاكَاذِبَةٌ٢

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتۡهَبَآءٗمُّنۢبَثّٗا٦

And become dust dispersing,

فَأَصۡحَٰبُٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِمَآأَصۡحَٰبُٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ٨

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

وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ١٠

And the forerunners, the forerunners -
