بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming ?
Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ
On that day (many) faces will be downcast,
Wujoohun yawmaithin khashiAAatun

Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ
Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.
La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ
In that day other faces will be calm,
Wujoohun yawmaithin naAAimatun
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

LisaAAyiha radiyatun
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
In a high Garden
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ?
Afala yanthuroona ila alibili kayfa khuliqat
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
And the heaven, how it is raised ?
Waila alssamai kayfa rufiAAat
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
And the hills, how they are set up ?
Waila aljibali kayfa nusibat
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

Waila alardi kayfa sutihat
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,
Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
Thou art not at all a warder over them.
Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,
Illa man tawalla wakafara
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ
Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

Lo! unto Us is their return
Inna ilayna iyabahum
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم
And Ours their reckoning.
Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
