What is the Calamity ?
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
Ma alqariAAatu
মহাপ্রলয় 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
মহাপ্রলয় সম্বন্ধে তুমি কী জান?
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
সেই দিন মানুষ হইবে বিক্ষিপ্ত পতংগের মত
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi
এবং পর্বতসমূহ হইবে ধূনিত রংগিন পশমের মত।
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,

তখন যাহার পাল্লা ভারি হইবে,
He will live a pleasant life.
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
সে তো লাভ করিবে সন্তোষজনক জীবন।

Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
Faommuhu hawiyatun
তাহার স্থান হইবে ‘হাবিয়া’।
