هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَـٰشِيَةِ١

Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?

Hal ataka hadeethu alghashiyat

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـٰشِعَةٌ٢

On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

Wujoohun yawma-ithin khashiAAa

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ٣

Toiling, weary,

AAamilatun nasiba

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً٤

Scorched by burning fire,

Tasla naran hamiya

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ٥

Drinking from a boiling spring,

Tusqa min AAaynin aniya

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ٦

No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit

Laysa lahum taAAamun illamin dareeAA

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ٧

Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

La yusminu wala yughnee minjooAA

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ٨

In that day other faces will be calm,

Wujoohun yawma-ithin naAAima

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ٩

Glad for their effort past,

LisaAAyiha radiya

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ١٠

In a high Garden

Fee jannatin AAaliya

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَـٰغِيَةً١١

Where they hear no idle speech,

La tasmaAAu feeha laghiya

فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ١٢

Wherein is a gushing spring,

Feeha AAaynun jariya

فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ١٣

Wherein are couches raised

Feeha sururun marfooAAa

وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ١٤

And goblets set at hand

Waakwabun mawdooAAa

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ١٥

And cushions ranged

Wanamariqu masfoofa

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ١٦

And silken carpets spread.

Wazarabiyyu mabthootha

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ١٧

Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?

Afala yanthuroona ilaal-ibili kayfa khuliqat

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ١٨

And the heaven, how it is raised?

Wa-ila assama-i kayfarufiAAat

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ١٩

And the hills, how they are set up?

Wa-ila aljibali kayfa nusibat

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ٢٠

And the earth, how it is spread?

Wa-ila al-ardi kayfa sutihat

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ٢١

Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

Fathakkir innama anta muthakkir

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ٢٢

Thou art not at all a warder over them.

Lasta AAalayhim bimusaytir

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ٢٣

But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

Illa man tawalla wakafar

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ٢٤

Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

FayuAAaththibuhu Allahu alAAathabaal-akbar

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ٢٥

Lo! unto Us is their return

Inna ilayna iyabahum

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم٢٦

And Ours their reckoning.

Thumma inna AAalayna hisabahum
