আল ইনশিকাক (চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হওয়া)

1 When the sky is rent asunder,

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder

2 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -

2 And attentive to her Lord in fear,

3 And when the earth is flattened out,

3 And when the earth is spread out

4 And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

4 And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty

5 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).

5 And attentive to her Lord in fear!

6 O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.

6 Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).

7 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

7 Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

8 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

8 He truly will receive an easy reckoning

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

9 And will return unto his folk in joy.

10 But he who is given his Record behind his back, -

10 But whoso is given his account behind his back,

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

11 He surely will invoke destruction

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

12 And be thrown to scorching fire.

13 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

13 He verily lived joyous with his folk,

14 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

14 He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).

15 Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

15 Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!

16 So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

17 The Night and its Homing;

17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

18 And by the moon when she is at the full,

19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

19 That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

20 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -

20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not

21 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

21 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?

22 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

22 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

23 But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

25 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.

25 Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
