Al-Ghashiyah

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَـٰشِيَةِ

hal atāka ḥadīthu l-ghāshiyati

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

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـٰشِعَةٌ

wujūhun yawma-idhin khāshiʿatun

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

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ

ʿāmilatun nāṣibatun

Working [hard] and exhausted.

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

taṣlā nāran ḥāmiyatan

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

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ

tus'qā min ʿaynin āniyatin

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

laysa lahum ṭaʿāmun illā min ḍarīʿin

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

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ

lā yus'minu walā yugh'nī min jūʿin

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ

wujūhun yawma-idhin nāʿimatun

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

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

lisaʿyihā rāḍiyatun

With their effort [they are] satisfied

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

fī jannatin ʿāliyatin

In an elevated garden,

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَـٰغِيَةً

lā tasmaʿu fīhā lāghiyatan

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ

fīhā ʿaynun jāriyatun

Within it is a flowing spring.

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ

fīhā sururun marfūʿatun

Within it are couches raised high

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ

wa-akwābun mawḍūʿatun

And cups put in place

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ

wanamāriqu maṣfūfatun

And cushions lined up

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ

wazarābiyyu mabthūthatun

And carpets spread around.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

afalā yanẓurūna ilā l-ibili kayfa khuliqat

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

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

wa-ilā l-samāi kayfa rufiʿat

And at the sky - how it is raised?

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ

wa-ilā l-jibāli kayfa nuṣibat

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

wa-ilā l-arḍi kayfa suṭiḥat

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

fadhakkir innamā anta mudhakkirun

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

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

lasta ʿalayhim bimuṣayṭirin

You are not over them a controller.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

illā man tawallā wakafara

However, he who turns away and disbelieves

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ

fayuʿadhibuhu l-lahu l-ʿadhāba l-akbara

Then Allāh will punish him with the greatest punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ

inna ilaynā iyābahum

Indeed, to Us is their return.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم

thumma inna ʿalaynā ḥisābahum

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
