بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
Have you received the news of the Enveloper?
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ
On that Day faces shall be humbled,
عَامِلَةٌ نَاصِبَةٌ
laboring, wornout,
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً
roasting at a scorching Fire
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ
that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain,
لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ ضَرِيعٍ
no food for them except thorny plants
لَا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنْ جُوعٍ
which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاعِمَةٌ
(Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful,
لِسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ
well pleased with their striving,
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
in a Garden on high,
لَا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً
where they will hear no idle talk.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ
A gushing fountain shall be there
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَرْفُوعَةٌ
and raised couches,
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَوْضُوعَةٌ
and prepared goblets,
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ
and arranged cushions
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ
and outspread carpets.
أَفَلَا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created?
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
And how the heaven was raised up,
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
and how the mountains were firmly fixed?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
And how the earth was outstretched?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder.
لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍ
You are not charged to oversee them.
إِلَّا مَنْ تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
As for those who turn their back and disbelieve,
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ
Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ
Indeed, to Us they shall return,
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ
then upon Us shall rest their reckoning.
