Chapter 88, 26 verses
Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming ?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم هل أتاك حديث الغاشية
Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun
On that day (many) faces will be downcast,
وجوه يومئذ خاشعة
AAamilatun nasibatun
Toiling, weary,
عاملة ناصبة
Tasla naran hamiyatan
Scorched by burning fire,
تصلى نارا حامية
Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin
Drinking from a boiling spring,
تسقى من عين آنية
Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin
No food for them save bitter thorn - fruit
ليس لهم طعام إلا من ضريع
La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin
Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.
لا يسمن ولا يغني من جوع
Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun
In that day other faces will be calm,
وجوه يومئذ ناعمة
LisaAAyiha radiyatun
Glad for their effort past,
لسعيها راضية
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin
In a high Garden
في جنة عالية
La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan
Where they hear no idle speech,
لا تسمع فيها لاغية
Feeha AAaynun jariyatun
Wherein is a gushing spring,
فيها عين جارية
Feeha sururun marfooAAatun
Wherein are couches raised
فيها سرر مرفوعة
Waakwabun mawdooAAatun
And goblets set at hand
وأكواب موضوعة
Wanamariqu masfoofatun
And cushions ranged
ونمارق مصفوفة
Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun
And silken carpets spread.
وزرابي مبثوثة
Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ?
أفلا ينظرون إلى الإبل كيف خلقت
Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat
And the heaven, how it is raised ?
وإلى السماء كيف رفعت
Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat
And the hills, how they are set up ?
وإلى الجبال كيف نصبت
Waila alardi kayfa sutihat
And the earth, how it is spread ?
وإلى الأرض كيف سطحت
Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun
Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,
فذكر إنما أنت مذكر
Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin
Thou art not at all a warder over them.
لست عليهم بمصيطر
Illa man tawalla wakafara
But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,
إلا من تولى وكفر
FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba alakbara
Allah will punish him with direst punishment.
فيعذبه الله العذاب الأكبر
Inna ilayna iyabahum
Lo! unto Us is their return
إن إلينا إيابهم
Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
And Ours their reckoning.
ثم إن علينا حسابهم
