Al-Ghashiyah

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَـٰشِيَةِ

Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـٰشِعَةٌ

On that day (many) faces will be downcast

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ

Toiling, weary

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

Scorched by burning fire

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ

Drinking from a boiling spring

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ

Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ

In that day other faces will be calm

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

Glad for their effort past

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

In a high Garden

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَـٰغِيَةً

Where they hear no idle speech

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ

Wherein is a gushing spring

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ

Wherein are couches raised

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ

And goblets set at hand

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ

And cushions ranged

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ

And silken carpets spread

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Will they not regard the camels, how they are created

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

And the heaven, how it is raised

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ

And the hills, how they are set up

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

And the earth, how it is spread

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

Thou art not at all a warder over them

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

But whoso is averse and disbelieveth

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ

Allah will punish him with direst punishment

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ

Lo! unto Us is their return

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم

And Ours their reckoning
