Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the heaven bursts asunder,
যখন আকাশ বিদীর্ণ হইবে,
When the sky is rent asunder,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
And obeys its Lord and it must.
ও তাহার প্রতিপালকের আদেশ পালন করিবে এবং ইহাই তাহার করণীয়।
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
And when the earth is stretched,
এবং পৃথিবীকে যখন সম্প্রসারিত করা হইবে।
And when the earth is flattened out,
And when the earth is spread out
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
ও পৃথিবী তাহার অভ্যন্তরে যাহা আছে তাহা বাহিরে নিক্ষেপ করিবে ও শূন্যগর্ভ হইবে।
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
And obeys its Lord and it must.
এবং তাহার প্রতিপালকের আদেশ পালন করিবে, ইহাই তাহার করণীয়; তখন তোমরা পুনরুত্থিত হইবেই।
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
হে মানুষ! তুমি তোমার প্রতিপালকের নিকট পৌঁছা পর্যন্ত কঠোর সাধনা করিয়া থাক, পরে তুমি তাঁহার সাক্ষাৎ লাভ করিবে।
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
যাহাকে তাহার ‘আমলনামা তাহার দক্ষিণ হস্তে দেওয়া হইবে
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
তাহার হিসাব - নিকাশ সহজেই লওয়া হইবে
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
এবং সে তাহার স্বজনদের নিকট প্রফুল্লচিত্তে ফিরিয়া যাইবে;
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
And will return unto his folk in joy.
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
এবং যাহাকে তাহার ‘আমলনামা তাহার পৃষ্ঠের পশ্চাৎদিক হইতে দেওয়া হইবে
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
He shall call for perdition,
সে অবশ্য তাহার ধ্বংস আহ্বান করিবে;
Soon will he cry for perdition,
He surely will invoke destruction
And enter into burning fire.
এবং জ্বলন্ত অগ্নিতে প্রবেশ করিবে;
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
And be thrown to scorching fire.
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
সে তো তাহার স্বজনদের মধ্যে আনন্দে ছিল,
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Surely he thought that he would never return.
সে তো ভাবিত যে, সে কখনই ফিরিয়া যাইবে না;
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
নিশ্চয়ই ফিরিয়া যাইবে; তাহার প্রতিপালক তাহার উপর সবিশেষ দৃষ্টি রাখেন।
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
আমি শপথ করি অস্তরাগের,
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
And the night and that which it drives on,
এবং রাত্রির আর উহা যাহা কিছুর সমাবেশ ঘটায় তাহার,
The Night and its Homing;
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
And the moon when it grows full,
এবং শপথ চন্দ্রের, যখন ইহা পূর্ণ হয়;
And the Moon in her fullness:
And by the moon when she is at the full,
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
নিশ্চয় তোমরা ধাপে ধাপে আরোহণ করিবে।
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
সুতরাং উহাদের কি হইল যে, উহারা ঈমান আনে না
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
এবং উহাদের নিকট কুরআন পাঠ করা হইলে উহারা সিজ্দা করে না?
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
পরন্তু কাফিরগণ উহাকে অস্বীকার করে।
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
And Allah knows best what they hide,
এবং উহারা যাহা পোষণ করে তাহা সবিশেষ অবগত।
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
So announce to them a painful punishment~
সুতরাং উহাদেরকে মর্মন্তুদ শাস্তির সংবাদ দাও;
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
কিন্তু যাহারা ঈমান আনে ও সৎকর্ম করে তাহাদের জন্য রহিয়াছে নিরবচ্ছিন্ন পুরস্কার।
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
