আল তাকওয়ীর (গুটিয়ে নিয়ে আলোহীন করা)

1 When the sun is covered,

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the sun is overthrown,

1 When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;

2 And when the stars darken,

2 And when the stars fall,

2 When the stars fall, losing their lustre;

3 And when the mountains are made to pass away,

3 And when the hills are moved,

3 When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);

4 And when the camels are left untended,

4 And when the camels big with young are abandoned,

4 When the she - camels, ten months with young, are left untended;

5 And when the wild animals are made to go forth,

5 And when the wild beasts are herded together,

5 When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);

6 And when the seas are set on fire,

6 And when the seas rise,

6 When the oceans boil over with a swell;

7 And when souls are united,

7 And when souls are reunited,

7 When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);

8 And when the female infant buried alive is asked

8 And when the girl - child that was buried alive is asked

8 When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -

9 For what sin she was killed,

9 For what sin she was slain,

9 For what crime she was killed;

10 And when the books are spread,

10 And when the pages are laid open,

10 When the scrolls are laid open;

11 And when the heaven has its covering removed,

11 And when the sky is torn away,

11 When the world on High is unveiled;

12 And when the hell is kindled up,

12 And when hell is lighted,

12 When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;

13 And when the garden is brought nigh,

13 And when the Garden is brought nigh,

13 And when the Garden is brought near; -

14 Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.

14 (Then) every soul will know what it hath made ready.

14 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.

15 But nay! I swear by the stars,

15 Oh, but I call to witness the planets,

15 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,

16 That run their course (and) hide themselves,

16 The stars which rise and set,

16 Go straight, or hide;

17 And the night when it departs,

17 And the close of night,

17 And the Night as it dissipates;

18 And the morning when it brightens,

18 And the breath of morning

18 And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness; -

19 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,

19 That this is in truth the word of an honoured messenger,

19 Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,

20 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,

20 Mighty, established in the presence of the Lord of the Throne,

20 Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,

21 One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.

21 (One) to be obeyed, and trustworthy;

21 With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.

22 And your companion is not gone mad.

22 And your comrade is not mad.

22 And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;

23 And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.

23 Surely he beheld Him on the clear horizon.

23 And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.

24 Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.

24 And he is not avid of the Unseen.

24 Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.

25 Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,

25 Nor is this the utterance of a devil worthy to be stoned.

25 Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.

26 Whither then will you go?

26 Whither then go ye ?

26 When whither go ye?

27 It is naught but a reminder for the nations,

27 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation,

27 Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:

28 For him among you who pleases to go straight.

28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.

28 (With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:

29 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.

29 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.

29 But ye shall not will except as Allah wills, - the Cherisher of the Worlds.
