88Al-Ghaashiya

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ

Hath there come Unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event?

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ

Faces on that Day shall be downcast,

عَامِلَةٌ نَاصِبَةٌ

Travailing, worn.

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

They shall roast into the scalding Fire,

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ

Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling.

لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ ضَرِيعٍ

No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn,

لَا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنْ جُوعٍ

Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاعِمَةٌ

Faces on that Day shall be de lighted,

لِسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

With their endeavour well pleased.

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

They shall be in a Garden lofty:

لَا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً

They shall hear therein no vain discourse;

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ

Therein shall be a spring running!

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَرْفُوعَةٌ

Therein shall be couches elevated!

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَوْضُوعَةٌ

And goblets ready placed!

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ

And cushions ranged!

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ

And carpets ready spread,

أَفَلَا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Look they not at the camels, how they are created?

وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

And at the heaven, how it is raised?

وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ

And at the mountains, how they are rooted?

وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

And at the earth, how it is outspread?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher.

لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

Thou art not over them a warden.

إِلَّا مَنْ تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve -

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ

Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ

Verily Unto us is their reckoning.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ

Then verily on us is their reckoning.
