الغاشـيـة

1 Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

1 Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

2 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

2 Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun

3 Labouring (hard), weary, -

3 AAamilatun nasibatun

4 The while they enter the Blazing Fire, -

4 Tasla naran hamiyatan

5 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

5 Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

6 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'

6 Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

7 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

7 La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

8 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

8 Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun

9 Pleased with their striving, -

9 LisaAAyiha radiyatun

10 In a Garden on high,

10 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

11 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

11 La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

12 Therein will be a bubbling spring:

12 Feeha AAaynun jariyatun

13 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

13 Feeha sururun marfooAAatun

14 Goblets placed (ready),

14 Waakwabun mawdooAAatun

15 And cushions set in rows,

15 Wanamariqu masfoofatun

16 And rich carpets (all) spread out.

16 Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

17 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made? -

17 Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat

18 And at the Sky, how it is raised high? -

18 Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat

19 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm? -

19 Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat

20 And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

20 Waila alardi kayfa sutihat

21 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

21 Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

22 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

22 Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

23 But if any turn away and reject Allah, -

23 Illa man tawalla wakafara

24 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

24 FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara

25 For to Us will be their return;

25 Inna ilayna iyabahum

26 Then it will be for Us to call them to account.

26 Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
