Chapter 101, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
AlqariAAatu
মহাভীতিপ্রদ শব্দ।
What is the Calamity ?
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
Ma alqariAAatu
মহাভীতিপ্রদ শব্দ কী?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu
তোমাকে কিসে জানাবে মহা ভীতিপ্রদ শব্দ কী?
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi
যেদিন মানুষ হবে বিক্ষিপ্ত পতঙ্গের মত,
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi
আর পর্বতরাজি হবে ধুনা রঙিন পশমের মত।
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu
অতঃপর যার পাল্লা ভারী হবে,
He will live a pleasant life.
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
সে থাকবে সন্তোষজনক জীবনে;
But as for him whose scales are light,
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu
আর যার পাল্লা হালকা হবে,
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
Faommuhu hawiyatun
তার আবাস হবে হাবিয়া।
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
And what will explain to thee what this is?
Wama adraka ma hiyah
আর তোমাকে কিসে জানাবে হাবিয়া কী?
Raging Fire.
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
Narun hamiyatun
প্রজ্জ্বলিত অগ্নি।
