الغاشـيـة

1 Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

1 Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?

2 Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun

2 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast,

3 AAamilatun nasibatun

3 Laboring, toiling,

4 Tasla naran hamiyatan

4 Entering into burning fire,

5 Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

5 Made to drink from a boiling spring.

6 Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

6 They shall have no food but of thorns,

7 La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

7 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.

8 Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun

8 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy,

9 LisaAAyiha radiyatun

9 Well - pleased because of their striving,

10 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

10 In a lofty garden,

11 La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

11 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.

12 Feeha AAaynun jariyatun

12 Therein is a fountain flowing,

13 Feeha sururun marfooAAatun

13 Therein are thrones raised high,

14 Waakwabun mawdooAAatun

14 And drinking - cups ready placed,

15 Wanamariqu masfoofatun

15 And cushions set in a row,

16 Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

16 And carpets spread out.

17 Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat

17 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?

18 Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat

18 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,

19 Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat

19 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,

20 Waila alardi kayfa sutihat

20 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?

21 Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

21 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.

22 Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

22 You are not a watcher over them;

23 Illa man tawalla wakafara

23 But whoever turns back and disbelieves,

24 FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara

24 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.

25 Inna ilayna iyabahum

25 Surely to Us is their turning back,

26 Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum

26 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.
