لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ

I swear by the Day of Resurrection

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.

وَكُلُّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فَرْدًا

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.
