আল কারিয়াঁ (মহাপ্রলয়)

1 The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!

2 What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?

2 What is the Calamity ?

3 And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?

3 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!

4 (It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,

4 A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths

5 And the mountains will be like carded wool.

5 And the mountains will become as carded wool.

6 Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,

6 Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),

7 Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.

7 He will live a pleasant life.

8 But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -

8 But as for him whose scales are light,

9 Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.

9 A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,

10 And what will explain to thee what this is?

10 Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -

11 (It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!

11 Raging Fire.
