Al-Ghaashiya

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلۡغَٰشِيَةِ ١

Did you receive the account of the Enveloper?

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ ٢

Some faces on that day will be humbled,

عَامِلَةٞ نَّاصِبَةٞ ٣

wrought-up and weary:

تَصۡلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةٗ ٤

they will enter a scorching fire

تُسۡقَىٰ مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ ءَانِيَةٖ ٥

and made to drink from a boiling spring.

لَّيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٖ ٦

They will have no food except cactus,

لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِن جُوعٖ ٧

neither nourishing, nor of avail against hunger.

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاعِمَةٞ ٨

Some faces on that day will be joyous,

لِّسَعۡيِهَا رَاضِيَةٞ ٩

pleased with their endeavour,

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٖ ١٠

in a lofty garden,

لَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةٗ ١١

where they will not hear any vain talk.

فِيهَا عَيۡنٞ جَارِيَةٞ ١٢

In it is a flowing spring

فِيهَا سُرُرٞ مَّرۡفُوعَةٞ ١٣

and raised couches,

وَأَكۡوَابٞ مَّوۡضُوعَةٞ ١٤

with goblets set,

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصۡفُوفَةٞ ١٥

and cushions laid out in an array,

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبۡثُوثَةٌ ١٦

and carpets spread out.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ ١٧

Do they not observe the camel, [to see] how it has been created?

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ ١٨

and the sky, how it has been raised?

وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ ١٩

and the mountains, how they have been set?

وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ ٢٠

and the earth, how it has been surfaced?

فَذَكِّرۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٞ ٢١

So admonish—for you are only an admonisher,

لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ ٢٢

and not a taskmaster over them—

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ٢٣

except him who turns back and disbelieves.

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرَ ٢٤

Him Allah will punish with the greatest punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيۡنَآ إِيَابَهُمۡ ٢٥

Indeed to Us will be their return.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُم ٢٦

Then, indeed, their reckoning will lie with Us.
