هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ

Has the story reached you, of the overwhelming

Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ

Some faces on that day shall be humbled

Wujoohun yawma-ithin khashiAAatun

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ

AAamilatun nasibatun

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

While they broil upon a burning Fire

Tasla naran hamiyatan

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ

While they drink from a boiling spring

Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

No food shall they have save from the bitter Dhari

Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ

Which shall not nourish nor avail against hunger

La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ

Other faces on that day shall be joyful

Wujoohun yawma-ithin naAAimatun

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

Content with their past endeavours

LisaAAyiha radiyatun

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

In a lofty (sublime) Garde

Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً

Wherein they shall hear no foolish word

La tasmaAAu feeha laghiyatan

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ

Wherein is a flowing fountain

Feeha AAaynun jariyatun

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ

Wherein are Thrones (of dignity) raised on high

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ

And cushions arranged

Wanamariqu masfoofatun

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ

And carpets spread

Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Do they not look then at the camel, how she is created

Afala yanthuroona ila al-ibili kayfa khuliqat

وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

And at the heaven how it is raised high

Wa-ila alssama-i kayfa rufiAAat

وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ

And at the mountains how they are set firm

Wa-ila aljibali kayfa nusibat

وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

And at the earth how it is spread out

Wa-ila al-ardi kayfa sutihat

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

Therefore, remind them: for you are only one to remind

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

you are not in authority over them

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

But such as turns his back and disbelieves

Illa man tawalla wakafara

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ

Him will Allah punish with the greatest torment

FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba al-akbara

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ

Verily, unto us is their return

Inna ilayna iyabahum

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم

And, verily, for Us is their accounting

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
