আল গাশিয়াহ (আচ্ছন্নকারী)

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

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

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

2 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

3 Toiling, weary,

3 Labouring (hard), weary, -

4 Scorched by burning fire,

4 The while they enter the Blazing Fire, -

5 Drinking from a boiling spring,

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

6 No food for them save bitter thorn - fruit

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

7 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

7 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

8 In that day other faces will be calm,

8 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

9 Glad for their effort past,

9 Pleased with their striving, -

10 In a high Garden

10 In a Garden on high,

11 Where they hear no idle speech,

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

12 Wherein is a gushing spring,

12 Therein will be a bubbling spring:

13 Wherein are couches raised

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

14 And goblets set at hand

14 Goblets placed (ready),

15 And cushions ranged

15 And cushions set in rows,

16 And silken carpets spread.

16 And rich carpets (all) spread out.

17 Will they not regard 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 raised ?

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

19 And the hills, how they are set up ?

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

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

22 Thou art not at all a warder over them.

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

23 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

23 But if any turn away and reject Allah, -

24 Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

24 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

25 Lo! unto Us is their return

25 For to Us will be their return;

26 And Ours their reckoning.

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