Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky is rent asunder,
যখন আকাশ বিদীর্ণ হইবে,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
When the heaven bursts asunder,
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
ও তাহার প্রতিপালকের আদেশ পালন করিবে এবং ইহাই তাহার করণীয়।
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And when the earth is flattened out,
এবং পৃথিবীকে যখন সম্প্রসারিত করা হইবে।
And when the earth is spread out
And when the earth is stretched,
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
ও পৃথিবী তাহার অভ্যন্তরে যাহা আছে তাহা বাহিরে নিক্ষেপ করিবে ও শূন্যগর্ভ হইবে।
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
এবং তাহার প্রতিপালকের আদেশ পালন করিবে, ইহাই তাহার করণীয়; তখন তোমরা পুনরুত্থিত হইবেই।
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
And obeys its Lord and it must.
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
হে মানুষ! তুমি তোমার প্রতিপালকের নিকট পৌঁছা পর্যন্ত কঠোর সাধনা করিয়া থাক, পরে তুমি তাঁহার সাক্ষাৎ লাভ করিবে।
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
যাহাকে তাহার ‘আমলনামা তাহার দক্ষিণ হস্তে দেওয়া হইবে
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
তাহার হিসাব - নিকাশ সহজেই লওয়া হইবে
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
এবং সে তাহার স্বজনদের নিকট প্রফুল্লচিত্তে ফিরিয়া যাইবে;
And will return unto his folk in joy.
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
এবং যাহাকে তাহার ‘আমলনামা তাহার পৃষ্ঠের পশ্চাৎদিক হইতে দেওয়া হইবে
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
Soon will he cry for perdition,
সে অবশ্য তাহার ধ্বংস আহ্বান করিবে;
He surely will invoke destruction
He shall call for perdition,
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
এবং জ্বলন্ত অগ্নিতে প্রবেশ করিবে;
And be thrown to scorching fire.
And enter into burning fire.
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
সে তো তাহার স্বজনদের মধ্যে আনন্দে ছিল,
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
সে তো ভাবিত যে, সে কখনই ফিরিয়া যাইবে না;
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Surely he thought that he would never return.
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
নিশ্চয়ই ফিরিয়া যাইবে; তাহার প্রতিপালক তাহার উপর সবিশেষ দৃষ্টি রাখেন।
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
আমি শপথ করি অস্তরাগের,
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
The Night and its Homing;
এবং রাত্রির আর উহা যাহা কিছুর সমাবেশ ঘটায় তাহার,
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
And the night and that which it drives on,
And the Moon in her fullness:
এবং শপথ চন্দ্রের, যখন ইহা পূর্ণ হয়;
And by the moon when she is at the full,
And the moon when it grows full,
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
নিশ্চয় তোমরা ধাপে ধাপে আরোহণ করিবে।
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
সুতরাং উহাদের কি হইল যে, উহারা ঈমান আনে না
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
এবং উহাদের নিকট কুরআন পাঠ করা হইলে উহারা সিজ্দা করে না?
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
পরন্তু কাফিরগণ উহাকে অস্বীকার করে।
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
এবং উহারা যাহা পোষণ করে তাহা সবিশেষ অবগত।
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
And Allah knows best what they hide,
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
সুতরাং উহাদেরকে মর্মন্তুদ শাস্তির সংবাদ দাও;
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
So announce to them a painful punishment~
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
কিন্তু যাহারা ঈমান আনে ও সৎকর্ম করে তাহাদের জন্য রহিয়াছে নিরবচ্ছিন্ন পুরস্কার।
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
