আল গাশিয়া (আচ্ছন্নকারী)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming ?

1 Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

2 On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

2 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

3 Toiling, weary,

3 Working [hard] and exhausted.

4 Scorched by burning fire,

4 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

5 Drinking from a boiling spring,

5 They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

6 No food for them save bitter thorn - fruit

6 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

7 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

7 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

8 In that day other faces will be calm,

8 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

9 Glad for their effort past,

9 With their effort [they are] satisfied

10 In a high Garden

10 In an elevated garden,

11 Where they hear no idle speech,

11 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

12 Wherein is a gushing spring,

12 Within it is a flowing spring.

13 Wherein are couches raised

13 Within it are couches raised high

14 And goblets set at hand

14 And cups put in place

15 And cushions ranged

15 And cushions lined up

16 And silken carpets spread.

16 And carpets spread around.

17 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created ?

17 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

18 And the heaven, how it is raised ?

18 And at the sky - how it is raised?

19 And the hills, how they are set up ?

19 And at the mountains - how they are erected?

20 And the earth, how it is spread ?

20 And at the earth - how it is spread out?

21 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

21 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

22 Thou art not at all a warder over them.

22 You are not over them a controller.

23 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

23 However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

24 Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

24 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

25 Lo! unto Us is their return

25 Indeed, to Us is their return.

26 And Ours their reckoning.

26 Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
