Al-Ghaashiya

Hal ataaka hadeesul ghaashiyah

Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

Wujoohuny yawma 'izin khaashi'ah

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

'Aamilatun naasibah

Working [hard] and exhausted.

Taslaa naaran haamiyah

They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

Tusqaa min 'aynin aaniyah

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

Laisa lahum ta'aamun illaa min daree'

For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

Laa yusminu wa laa yughnee min joo'

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

Wujoohuny yawma 'izin naa'imah

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

Lisa'yihaa raadiyah

With their effort [they are] satisfied

Fee jannatin 'aaliyah

In an elevated garden,

Laa tasma'u feehaa laaghiyah

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

Feehaa 'aynun jaariyah

Within it is a flowing spring.

Feehaa sururum marfoo'ah

Within it are couches raised high

Wa akwaabum mawdoo 'ah

And cups put in place

Wa namaariqu masfoofah

And cushions lined up

Wa zaraabiyyu mabsoosah

And carpets spread around.

Afalaa yanzuroona ilalibili kaifa khuliqat

Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

Wa ilas samaaa'i kaifa rufi'at

And at the sky - how it is raised?

Wa ilal jibaali kaifa nusibat

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

Wa ilal ardi kaifa sutihat

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

Fazakkir innama anta Muzakkir

So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

Lasta 'alaihim bimusaitir

You are not over them a controller.

Illaa man tawallaa wa kafar

However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

Fa yu'azzibuhul laahul 'azaabal akbar

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

Innaa ilainaaa iyaabahum

Indeed, to Us is their return.
