Transliteration:( Yauma ya koonun naasu kal farashil mabthooth )
It means at the time of the first Trumpet Day of Judgement people would be running helter-skelter in all directions out of total fear in such a manner like how the crowded moths are dispersed, when the light of the lamp is extinguished. Under this aspect, the meaning of the next verse is clear. The running of the people to seek refuge and the flying of the mountains broken into particles will take place at the time of the first Trumpet. Or, that at the time of the second Trumpet people after resurrection would be running to the Field of Accountability in every direction in such a manner like how the moths fly in all directions of the burning lamp. Under this circumstance the discussion, which follows, mentions the condition of the first Trumpet. It should be remembered that although the jinns and animals too would be resurrected on Judgement Day, but because the actual purpose is the resurrection of human beings, mention is being made of that. Here, the word human being includes all human beings, whether big or small, good or evil.
Since this resurrection and assembling would be taking place in a short time after which silence will prevail upon everyone, no one would be able to display any pride and superiority. Hence, they have been compared to moths.
