Al Gashiya

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

3 Laboring, toiling,

Shakir

4 Entering into burning fire,

Shakir

5 Made to drink from a boiling spring.

Shakir

6 They shall have no food but of thorns,

Shakir

7 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.

Shakir

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

Shakir

9 Well - pleased because of their striving,

Shakir

10 In a lofty garden,

Shakir

11 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.

Shakir

12 Therein is a fountain flowing,

Shakir

13 Therein are thrones raised high,

Shakir

14 And drinking - cups ready placed,

Shakir

15 And cushions set in a row,

Shakir

16 And carpets spread out.

Shakir

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

Shakir

18 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,

Shakir

19 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,

Shakir

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

Shakir

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

Shakir

22 You are not a watcher over them;

Shakir

23 But whoever turns back and disbelieves,

Shakir

24 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.

Shakir

25 Surely to Us is their turning back,

Shakir

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