O you who are clothed!
O you who covers himself [with a garment],
হে চাদরাবৃত!
O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!
Arise and warn,
Arise and warn
উঠুন, সতর্ক করুন,
Arise and deliver thy warning!
And your Lord do magnify,
And your Lord glorify
আপন পালনকর্তার মাহাত্ম্য ঘোষনা করুন,
And thy Lord do thou magnify!
And your garments do purify,
And your clothing purify
আপন পোশাক পবিত্র করুন
And thy garments keep free from stain!
And uncleanness do shun,
And uncleanliness avoid
এবং অপবিত্রতা থেকে দূরে থাকুন।
And all abomination shun!
And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,
And do not confer favor to acquire more
অধিক প্রতিদানের আশায় অন্যকে কিছু দিবেন না।
Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.
But for your Lord be patient.

For when the trumpet is sounded,
And when the trumpet is blown,
যেদিন শিংগায় ফুঁক দেয়া হবে;
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,
That Day will be a difficult day
সেদিন হবে কঠিন দিন,
That will be - that Day - a Day of Distress, -
For the unbelievers, anything but easy.
For the disbelievers - not easy.
কাফেরদের জন্যে এটা সহজ নয়।
Far from easy for those without Faith.
Leave Me and him whom I created alone,
Leave Me with the one I created alone
যাকে আমি অনন্য করে সৃষ্টি করেছি, তাকে আমার হাতে ছেড়ে দিন।
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone! -
And give him vast riches,
And to whom I granted extensive wealth
আমি তাকে বিপুল ধন - সম্পদ দিয়েছি।
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
And sons dwelling in his presence,
And children present [with him]
এবং সদা সংগী পুত্রবর্গ দিয়েছি,
And sons to be by his side! -
And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;
And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].
এবং তাকে খুব সচ্ছলতা দিয়েছি।
To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
And yet he desires that I should add more!
Then he desires that I should add more.
এরপরও সে আশা করে যে, আমি তাকে আরও বেশী দেই।
Yet is he greedy - that I should add (yet more); -
By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.
No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
কখনই নয়! সে আমার নিদর্শনসমূহের বিরুদ্ধাচরণকারী।
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.
I will cover him with arduous torment.
আমি সত্ত্বরই তাকে শাস্তির পাহাড়ে আরোহণ করাব।
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
Surely he reflected and guessed,
Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
সে চিন্তা করেছে এবং মনঃস্থির করেছে,
For he thought and he plotted; -
But may he be cursed how he plotted;
So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
ধ্বংস হোক সে, কিরূপে সে মনঃস্থির করেছে!
And woe to him! How he plotted! -
Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;
Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
আবার ধ্বংস হোক সে, কিরূপে সে মনঃস্থির করেছে!
Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted! -
Then he looked,
Then he considered [again];
সে আবার দৃষ্টিপাত করেছে,
Then he looked round;
Then he frowned and scowled,
Then he frowned and scowled;
অতঃপর সে ভ্রূকুঞ্চিত করেছে ও মুখ বিকৃত করেছে,
Then he frowned and he scowled;
Then he turned back and was big with pride,
Then he turned back and was arrogant
অতঃপর পৃষ্ঠপ্রদশন করেছে ও অহংকার করেছে।
Then he turned back and was haughty;
~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);
And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
এরপর বলেছেঃ এতো লোক পরস্পরায় প্রাপ্ত জাদু বৈ নয়,
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
This is naught but the word of a mortal.
This is not but the word of a human being."

I will cast him into hell.
I will drive him into Saqar.
আমি তাকে দাখিল করব অগ্নিতে।
Soon will I cast him into Hell - Fire!
And what will make you realize what hell is?
And what can make you know what is Saqar?
আপনি কি বুঝলেন অগ্নি কি?
And what will explain to thee what Hell - Fire is?
It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
এটা অক্ষত রাখবে না এবং ছাড়বেও না।
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone! -
It scorches the mortal.
Blackening the skins.
মানুষকে দগ্ধ করবে।
Darkening and changing the colour of man!
Over it are nineteen.
Over it are nineteen [angels].
এর উপর নিয়োজিত আছে উনিশ (ফেরেশতা)।
Over it are Nineteen.
And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
আমি জাহান্নামের তত্ত্বাবধায়ক ফেরেশতাই রেখেছি। আমি কাফেরদেরকে পরীক্ষা করার জন্যেই তার এই সংখ্যা করেছি - যাতে কিতাবীরা দৃঢ়বিশ্বাসী হয়, মুমিনদের ঈমান বৃদ্ধি পায় এবং কিতাবীরা ও মুমিনগণ সন্দেহ পোষণ না করে এবং যাতে যাদের অন্তরে রোগ আছে, তারা এবং কাফেররা বলে যে, এর দ্বারা কি বোঝাতে চেয়েছেন। এমনিভাবে যাকে ইচ্ছা পথভ্রষ্ট করেন এবং যাকে ইচ্ছা সৎপথে চালান। আপনার পালনকর্তার বাহিনী সম্পর্কে একমাত্র তিনিই জানেন এটা তো মানুষের জন্যে উপদেশ বৈ নয়।
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers, - in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith, - and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
Nay; I swear by the moon,
No! By the moon
কখনই নয়। চন্দ্রের শপথ,
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
And the night when it departs,
And [by] the night when it departs
শপথ রাত্রির যখন তার অবসান হয়,
And by the Night as it retreateth,
And the daybreak when it shines;
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
শপথ প্রভাতকালের যখন তা আলোকোদ্ভাসিত হয়,
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth, -
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
নিশ্চয় জাহান্নাম গুরুতর বিপদসমূহের অন্যতম,
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
A warning to mortals,
As a warning to humanity -
মানুষের জন্যে সতর্ককারী।
A warning to mankind, -
To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
তোমাদের মধ্যে যে সামনে অগ্রসর হয় অথবা পশ্চাতে থাকে।
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind; -
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
প্রত্যেক ব্যক্তি তার কৃতকর্মের জন্য দায়ী;
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
Except the people of the right hand,
Except the companions of the right,
কিন্তু ডানদিকস্থরা,
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
In gardens, they shall ask each other
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
তারা থাকবে জান্নাতে এবং পরস্পরে জিজ্ঞাসাবাদ করবে।
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
About the guilty:
About the criminals,
অপরাধীদের সম্পর্কে
And (ask) of the Sinners:
What has brought you into hell?
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
বলবেঃ তোমাদেরকে কিসে জাহান্নামে নীত করেছে?
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;

Nor did we used to feed the poor.
অভাবগ্রস্তকে আহার্য্য দিতাম না,
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
আমরা সমালোচকদের সাথে সমালোচনা করতাম।
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
এবং আমরা প্রতিফল দিবসকে অস্বীকার করতাম।
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
Till death overtook us.
Until there came to us the certainty."
আমাদের মৃত্যু পর্যন্ত।
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
অতএব, সুপারিশকারীদের সুপারিশ তাদের কোন উপকারে আসবে না।
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
তাদের কি হল যে, তারা উপদেশ থেকে মুখ ফিরিয়ে নেয়?
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? -
As if they were asses taking fright
As if they were alarmed donkeys
যেন তারা ইতস্ততঃ বিক্ষিপ্ত গর্দভ।
As if they were affrighted asses,
That had fled from a lion?
Fleeing from a lion?
হট্টগোলের কারণে পলায়নপর।
Fleeing from a lion!
Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
বরং তাদের প্রত্যেকেই চায় তাদের প্রত্যেককে একটি উম্মুক্ত গ্রন্থ দেয়া হোক।
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
কখনও না, বরং তারা পরকালকে ভয় করে না।
By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
Nay! it is surely an admonition.
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
কখনও না, এটা তো উপদেশ মাত্র।
Nay, this surely is an admonition:
So whoever pleases may mind it.
Then whoever wills will remember it.
অতএব, যার ইচ্ছা, সে একে স্মরণ করুক।
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
তারা স্মরণ করবে না, কিন্তু যদি চান। তিনিই ভয়ের যোগ্য এবং ক্ষমার অধিকারী।
But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
