الغاشـيـة

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

1 Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

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

2 Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun

3 Laboring, toiling,

3 AAamilatun nasibatun

4 Entering into burning fire,

4 Tasla naran hamiyatan

5 Made to drink from a boiling spring.

5 Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

6 They shall have no food but of thorns,

6 Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

7 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.

7 La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

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

8 Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun

9 Well - pleased because of their striving,

9 LisaAAyiha radiyatun

10 In a lofty garden,

10 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

11 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.

11 La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

12 Therein is a fountain flowing,

12 Feeha AAaynun jariyatun

13 Therein are thrones raised high,

13 Feeha sururun marfooAAatun

14 And drinking - cups ready placed,

14 Waakwabun mawdooAAatun

15 And cushions set in a row,

15 Wanamariqu masfoofatun

16 And carpets spread out.

16 Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

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

17 Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat

18 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,

18 Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat

19 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,

19 Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat

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

20 Waila alardi kayfa sutihat

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

21 Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

22 You are not a watcher over them;

22 Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

23 But whoever turns back and disbelieves,

23 Illa man tawalla wakafara

24 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.

24 FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara

25 Surely to Us is their turning back,

25 Inna ilayna iyabahum

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

26 Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
