আল গাশিয়া (আচ্ছন্নকারী)

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

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

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

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

3 Working [hard] and exhausted.

3 Laboring, toiling,

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

4 Entering into burning fire,

5 They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

5 Made to drink from a boiling spring.

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

6 They shall have no food but of thorns,

7 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

7 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.

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

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

9 With their effort [they are] satisfied

9 Well - pleased because of their striving,

10 In an elevated garden,

10 In a lofty garden,

11 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

11 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk.

12 Within it is a flowing spring.

12 Therein is a fountain flowing,

13 Within it are couches raised high

13 Therein are thrones raised high,

14 And cups put in place

14 And drinking - cups ready placed,

15 And cushions lined up

15 And cushions set in a row,

16 And carpets spread around.

16 And carpets spread out.

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

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

18 And at the sky - how it is raised?

18 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft,

19 And at the mountains - how they are erected?

19 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,

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

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

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

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

22 You are not over them a controller.

22 You are not a watcher over them;

23 However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

23 But whoever turns back and disbelieves,

24 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

24 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.

25 Indeed, to Us is their return.

25 Surely to Us is their turning back,

26 Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

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