আল ওয়াকিয়া (ঘটনা)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the event befalleth -

1 When the great event comes to pass,

2 There is no denying that it will befall -

2 There is no belying its coming to pass - -

3 Abasing (some), exalting (others);

3 Abasing (one party), exalting (the other),

4 When the earth is shaken with a shock

4 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking,

5 And the hills are ground to powder

5 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling,

6 So that they become a scattered dust,

6 So that they shall be as scattered dust.

7 And ye will be three kinds:

7 And you shall be three sorts.

8 (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand ?

8 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!

9 And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand ?

9 And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand!

10 And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:

10 And the foremost are the foremost,

11 Those are they who will be brought nigh

11 These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah),

12 In gardens of delight;

12 In the gardens of bliss.

13 A multitude of those of old

13 A numerous company from among the first,

14 And a few of those of later time.

14 And a few from among the latter.

15 On lined couches,

15 On thrones decorated,

16 Reclining therein face to face.

16 Reclining on them, facing one another.

17 There wait on them immortal youths

17 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age,

18 With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring

18 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink;

19 Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness,

19 They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted,

20 And fruit that they prefer

20 And fruits such as they choose,

21 And flesh of fowls that they desire.

21 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire.

22 And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes,

22 And pure, beautiful ones,

23 Like unto hidden pearls,

23 The like of the hidden pearls:

24 Reward for what they used to do.

24 A reward for what they used to do.

25 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination

25 They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse,

26 (Naught) but the saying: Peace, (and again) Peace.

26 Except the word peace, peace.

27 And those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand ?

27 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!

28 Among thornless lote - trees

28 Amid thornless lote - trees,

29 And clustered plantains,

29 And banana - trees (with fruits), one above another.

30 And spreading shade,

30 And extended shade,

31 And water gushing,

31 And water flowing constantly,

32 And fruit in plenty

32 And abundant fruit,

33 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,

33 Neither intercepted nor forbidden,

34 And raised couches;

34 And exalted thrones.

35 Lo! We have created them a (new) creation

35 Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth,

36 And made them virgins,

36 Then We have made them virgins,

37 Lovers, friends,

37 Loving, equals in age,

38 For those on the right hand;

38 For the sake of the companions of the right hand.

39 A multitude of those of old

39 A numerous company from among the first,

40 And a multitude of those of later time.

40 And a numerous company from among the last.

41 And those on the left hand: What of those on the left hand ?

41 And those of the left hand, how wretched are those of the left hand!

42 In scorching wind and scalding water

42 In hot wind and boiling water,

43 And shadow of black smoke,

43 And the shade of black smoke,

44 Neither cool nor refreshing.

44 Neither cool nor honorable.

45 Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury

45 Surely they were before that made to live in ease and plenty.

46 And used to persist in the awful sin.

46 And they persisted in the great violation.

47 And they used to say: When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again,

47 And they used to say: What! when we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised?

48 And also our forefathers ?

48 Or our fathers of yore?

49 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! those of old and those of later time

49 Say: The first and the last,

50 Will all be brought together to the tryst of an appointed day.

50 Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day.

51 Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,

51 Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie!

52 Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

52 Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom,

53 And will fill your bellies therewith;

53 And fill (your) bellies with it;

54 And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,

54 Then drink over it of boiling water;

55 Drinking even as the camel drinketh.

55 And drink as drinks the thirsty camel.

56 This will be their welcome on the Day of Judgment.

56 This is their entertainment on the day of requital.

57 We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ?

57 We have created you, why do you not then assent?

58 Have ye seen that which ye emit ?

58 Have you considered the seed?

59 Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?

59 Is it you that create it or are We the creators?

60 We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,

60 We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome,

61 That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.

61 In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not.

62 And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect ?

62 And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?

63 Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?

63 Have you considered what you sow?

64 Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer ?

64 Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth?

65 If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:

65 If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin to lament:

66 Lo! we are laden with debt!

66 Surely we are burdened with debt:

67 Nay, but we are deprived!

67 Nay! we are deprived.

68 Have ye observed the water which ye drink ?

68 Have you considered the water which you drink?

69 Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder ?

69 Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders?

70 If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks ?

70 If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks?

71 Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;

71 Have you considered the fire which you strike?

72 Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower ?

72 Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers?

73 We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.

73 We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert.

74 Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

74 Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.

75 Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -

75 But nay! I swear by the falling of stars;

76 And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -

76 And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew;

77 That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an

77 Most surely it is an honored Quran,

78 In a Book kept hidden

78 In a book that is protected

79 Which none toucheth save the purified,

79 None shall touch it save the purified ones.

80 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

80 A revelation by the Lord of the worlds.

81 Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

81 Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?

82 And make denial thereof your livelihood ?

82 And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence.

83 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)

83 Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat,

84 And ye are at that moment looking

84 And you at that time look on - -

85 - And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -

85 And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see - -

86 Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),

86 Then why is it not - - if you are not held under authority - -

87 Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful ?

87 That you send it (not) back - - if you are truthful?

88 Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

88 Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),

89 Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.

89 Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss.

90 And if he is of those on the right hand,

90 And if he is one of those on the right hand,

91 Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.

91 Then peace to you from those on the right hand.

92 But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,

92 And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones,

93 Then the welcome will be boiling water

93 He shall have an entertainment of boiling water,

94 And roasting at hell - fire.

94 And burning in hell.

95 Lo! this is certain truth.

95 Most surely this is a certain truth.

96 Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.

96 Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
