Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ

Faces on that day will be downcast,

Wujoohun yawma-ithin khashiAAatun

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ

labouring, weary,

AAamilatun nasibatun

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً

entering very hot fire,

Tasla naran hamiyatan

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ

being made to drink from boiling spring.

Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

There will be no food for them except that from the thorn tree.

Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ

It will neither be nourishable by them nor will it make them free from hunger.

La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ

(Other) faces that day will be happy,

Wujoohun yawma-ithin naAAimatun

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ

pleased on account of the effort they had put in earlier.

LisaAAyiha radiyatun

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ

(They will be) in a high garden,

Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً

therein you will not hear useless talk,

and cushions set in rows,

Wanamariqu masfoofatun

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ

and carpets spread.

Wazarabiyyu mabthoothatun

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

So do they not see towards the camel how it is created,

Afala yanthuroona ila al-ibili kayfa khuliqat

وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

and towards the sky how it is raised,

Wa-ila alssama-i kayfa rufiAAat

وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ

and towards the mountains how they are rooted

Wa-ila aljibali kayfa nusibat

وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ

and towards the earth how it is spread?

Wa-ila al-ardi kayfa sutihat

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

So remind, you are only to remind.

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

You are not in authority over them.

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

But one who turns away and does not believe,

Illa man tawalla wakafara

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ

so he will be punished by Allah with a great punishment.

FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathaba al-akbara

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ

Their return is certainly towards Us,

Inna ilayna iyabahum

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم

then certainly, it is on Us to take their account.

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
