In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
যখন ফেটে (চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হয়ে) যাবে আকাশ,
When the sky has split [open]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,
Chapter 84, 25 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
যখন ফেটে (চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হয়ে) যাবে আকাশ,
When the sky has split [open]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
এবং সে তার প্রভুর ফরমান পালন করবে, আর তা করাটাই তার জন্যে হক (বাস্তব)।
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
And when the earth is spread out
এবং যখন পৃথিবীকে করে দেয়া হবে প্রসারিত।
And when the earth has been extended
And when the earth is stretched forth,
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
আর তার ভেতরে যা কিছু ছিলো, সব বাইরে নিক্ষেপ করে সে খালি হয়ে যাবে।
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
এভাবে সে তার রবের হুকুম পালন করবে, আর তা করাটাই তার জন্যে হক (বাস্তব)।
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
হে মানুষ! তুমি তোমার (ভালো - মন্দ) কৃতকর্মের বোঝা নিয়ে ফিরে চলছো তোমরা মালিকের দিকে। এ এক অবধারিত প্রত্যাবর্তন। সামনে এগিয়েই তাঁর সাথে মুলাকাত (সাক্ষাত) করবে।
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
সেখানে যার কিতাব (কৃতকর্মের রেকর্ড বা আমলনামা) দেয়া হবে তার ডান হাতে,
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
তার কাছ থেকে নেয়া হবে একটা সহজ হিসাব,
He will be judged with an easy account
He surely will receive an easy reckoning,
And will return unto his folk in joy.
এবং সে তার পরিবার - পরিজনের কাছে ফিরে যাবে হাসি খুশি, আনন্দ উৎফুল্ল চিত্তে।
And return to his people in happiness.
And will return to his family in joy!
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
তবে যার কিতাব (কৃতকর্মের রেকর্ড বা আমলনামা) দেয়া হবে তার পেছন দিক থেকে,
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,
He surely will invoke destruction
সে ডাকবে মৃত্যুকে,
He will cry out for destruction
He will invoke (for his) destruction,
And be thrown to scorching fire.
এবং সে প্রবেশ করবে সায়ীরে (জলন্ত আগুনে)।
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
সে তো (দুনিয়ার জীবনে) তার পরিবার - পরিজনদের মধ্যে থাকতো আনন্দে মেতে।
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Verily, he was among his people in joy!
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
নিশ্চয়ই সে মনে করতো, তার কখনো ফিরে আসতে হবেনা (আমার কাছে)।
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
হ্যাঁ, অবশ্যি (তাকে ফিরে আসতেই হবে), কখনো তাকে দৃষ্টির আড়াল করেননি তার প্রভু।
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
আমি শপথ করছি অস্ত লালিমার,
So I swear by the twilight glow
So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
শপথ করছি রাতের, আর সে তার অন্ধকারে যা কিছুর সমাবেশ ঘটায় (সেগুলোর)।
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,
And by the moon when she is at the full,
শপথ করছি চাঁদের, যখন সে উপনীত হয় পূর্ণিমায়।
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
And by the moon when it is at the full.
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
নিশ্চয়ই তোমরা আরোহণ করতে থাকবে এক তবকা (স্তর) থেকে আরেক তবকায়।
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
সুতরাং তাদের হলো কি যে, তারা ঈমান আনে না?
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
What is the matter with them, that they believe not?
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
এবং যখন তাদের কাছে কুরআন পেশ করা হয়, তখন সাজদা করেনা (অবনত হয়না)? (সাজদা)
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
বরং যারা কুফরির পথ অবলম্বন করে, তারা (এই কুরআনকে) অস্বীকার করে।
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
অথচ আল্লাহই অধিক জানেন (তারা তাদের আমলনামায়) কী জমা করছে?
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
সুতরাং তাদেরকে সংবাদ দাও যন্ত্রনাদায়ক আযাবের।
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So announce to them a painful torment.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
তবে যারা ঈমান আনে এবং আমলে সালেহ্ করে, তাদের জন্য রয়েছে অফুরন্ত পুরস্কার।
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
