আল ওয়াকিয়া (ঘটনা)

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

1 When the Event inevitable cometh to pass,

2 There is no denying that it will befall -

2 Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming.

3 Abasing (some), exalting (others);

3 (Many) will it bring low; (many) will it exalt;

4 When the earth is shaken with a shock

4 When the earth shall be shaken to its depths,

5 And the hills are ground to powder

5 And the mountains shall be crumbled to atoms,

6 So that they become a scattered dust,

6 Becoming dust scattered abroad,

7 And ye will be three kinds:

7 And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.

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

8 Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand; - What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?

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

9 And the Companions of the Left Hand, - what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?

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

10 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).

11 Those are they who will be brought nigh

11 These will be those Nearest to Allah:

12 In gardens of delight;

12 In Gardens of Bliss:

13 A multitude of those of old

13 A number of people from those of old,

14 And a few of those of later time.

14 And a few from those of later times.

15 On lined couches,

15 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones),

16 Reclining therein face to face.

16 Reclining on them, facing each other.

17 There wait on them immortal youths

17 Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness),

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

18 With goblets, (shining) beakers, and cups (filled) out of clear - flowing fountains:

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

19 No after - ache will they receive therefrom, nor will they suffer intoxication:

20 And fruit that they prefer

20 And with fruits, any that they may select:

21 And flesh of fowls that they desire.

21 And the flesh of fowls, any that they may desire.

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

22 And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes, -

23 Like unto hidden pearls,

23 Like unto Pearls well - guarded.

24 Reward for what they used to do.

24 A Reward for the deeds of their past (life).

25 There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination

25 Not frivolity will they hear therein, nor any taint of ill, -

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

26 Only the saying, "Peace! Peace".

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

27 The Companions of the Right Hand, - what will be the Companions of the Right Hand?

28 Among thornless lote - trees

28 (They will be) among Lote - trees without thorns,

29 And clustered plantains,

29 Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another, -

30 And spreading shade,

30 In shade long - extended,

31 And water gushing,

31 By water flowing constantly,

32 And fruit in plenty

32 And fruit in abundance.

33 Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,

33 Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) forbidden,

34 And raised couches;

34 And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high.

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

35 We have created (their Companions) of special creation.

36 And made them virgins,

36 And made them virgin - pure (and undefiled), -

37 Lovers, friends,

37 Beloved (by nature), equal in age, -

38 For those on the right hand;

38 For the Companions of the Right Hand.

39 A multitude of those of old

39 A (goodly) number from those of old,

40 And a multitude of those of later time.

40 And a (goodly) number from those of later times.

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

41 The Companions of the Left Hand, - what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?

42 In scorching wind and scalding water

42 (They will be) in the midst of a Fierce Blast of Fire and in Boiling Water,

43 And shadow of black smoke,

43 And in the shades of Black Smoke:

44 Neither cool nor refreshing.

44 Nothing (will there be) to refresh, nor to please:

45 Lo! heretofore they were effete with luxury

45 For that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),

46 And used to persist in the awful sin.

46 And persisted obstinately in wickedness supreme!

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 become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised up again? -

48 And also our forefathers ?

48 "(We) and our fathers of old?"

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

49 Say: "Yea, those of old and those of later times,

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

50 "All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well - known.

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

51 "Then will ye truly, - O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as Falsehood! -

52 Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

52 "Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum.

53 And will fill your bellies therewith;

53 "Then will ye fill your insides therewith,

54 And thereon ye will drink of boiling water,

54 "And drink Boiling Water on top of it:

55 Drinking even as the camel drinketh.

55 "Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!"

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

56 Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!

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

57 It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?

58 Have ye seen that which ye emit ?

58 Do ye then see? - The (human Seed) that ye throw out, -

59 Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?

59 Is it ye who create it, or are We the Creators?

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

60 We have decreed Death to be your common lot, and We are not to be frustrated

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

61 from changing your Forms and creating you (again) in (forms) that ye know not.

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

62 And ye certainly know already the first form of creation: why then do ye not celebrate His praises?

63 Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?

63 See ye the seed that ye sow in the ground?

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

64 Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause?

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

65 Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,

66 Lo! we are laden with debt!

66 (Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):

67 Nay, but we are deprived!

67 "Indeed are we shut out (of the fruits of our labour)"

68 Have ye observed the water which ye drink ?

68 See ye the water which ye drink?

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

69 Do ye bring it down (in rain) from the cloud or do We?

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

70 Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?

71 Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;

71 See ye the Fire which ye kindle?

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

72 Is it ye who grow the tree which feeds the fire, or do We grow it?

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

73 We have made it a memorial (of Our handiwork), and an article of comfort and convenience for the denizens of deserts.

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

74 Then celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme!

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

75 Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars, -

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

76 And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew, -

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

77 That this is indeed a qur'an Most Honourable,

78 In a Book kept hidden

78 In Book well - guarded,

79 Which none toucheth save the purified,

79 Which none shall touch but those who are clean:

80 A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

80 A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

81 Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

81 Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?

82 And make denial thereof your livelihood ?

82 And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?

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

83 Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat, -

84 And ye are at that moment looking

84 And ye the while (sit) looking on, -

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

85 But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not, -

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

86 Then why do ye not, - If you are exempt from (future) account, -

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

87 Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?

88 Thus if he is of those brought nigh,

88 Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,

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

89 (There is for him) Rest and Satisfaction, and a Garden of Delights.

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

90 And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,

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

91 (For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.

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

92 And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong,

93 Then the welcome will be boiling water

93 For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water.

94 And roasting at hell - fire.

94 And burning in Hell - Fire.

95 Lo! this is certain truth.

95 Verily, this is the Very Truth and Certainly.

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

96 So celebrate with praises the name of thy Lord, the Supreme.
