আল গাশিয়া (আচ্ছন্নকারী)

1 Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?

1 Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

2 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast,

2 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

3 Laboring, toiling,

3 Labouring (hard), weary, -

4 Entering into burning fire,

4 The while they enter the Blazing Fire, -

5 Made to drink from a boiling spring.

5 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

6 They shall have no food but of thorns,

6 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari'

7 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.

7 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

8 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy,

8 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

9 Well - pleased because of their striving,

9 Pleased with their striving, -

10 In a lofty garden,

10 In a Garden on high,

11 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.

11 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

12 Therein is a fountain flowing,

12 Therein will be a bubbling spring:

13 Therein are thrones raised high,

13 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

14 And drinking - cups ready placed,

14 Goblets placed (ready),

15 And cushions set in a row,

15 And cushions set in rows,

16 And carpets spread out.

16 And rich carpets (all) spread out.

17 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created?

17 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made? -

18 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,

18 And at the Sky, how it is raised high? -

19 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,

19 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm? -

20 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?

20 And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

21 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.

21 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

22 You are not a watcher over them;

22 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

23 But whoever turns back and disbelieves,

23 But if any turn away and reject Allah, -

24 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.

24 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

25 Surely to Us is their turning back,

25 For to Us will be their return;

26 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account.

26 Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
