Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyati

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ

Some faces on that day will be downcast

Wujoohun yawma-ithin khashiAAatun

Tusqa min AAaynin aniyatin

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ

They will have no food save that of dry, bitter and thorny herbage

Laysa lahum taAAamun illa min dareeAAin

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ

Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger

La yusminu wala yughnee min jooAAin

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ

And some faces on that day will be joyful

Wujoohun yawma-ithin naAAimatun

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Do they not then look at the camels, how they are created

Afala yanthuroona ila al-ibili kayfa khuliqat

وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ

And at the heaven, how it is raised high

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ

Admonish, therefore, for thou art but an admonisher

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkirun

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ

Thou art not appointed a keeper over them

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytirin

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

Inna ilayna iyabahum

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم

Then, surely, it is for US to call them to account

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
