Surah Al-Ghaashiya

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ ﴿1﴾

Hal ataaka hadeesul ghaashiyah

Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming?

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ ﴿2﴾

Wujoohuny yawma 'izin khaashi'ah

On that day (many) faces will be downcast,

عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ ﴿3﴾

'Aamilatun naasibah

Toiling, weary,

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ ﴿4﴾

Taslaa naaran haamiyah

Scorched by burning fire,

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ ﴿5﴾

Tusqaa min 'aynin aaniyah

Drinking from a boiling spring,

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ ﴿6﴾

Laisa lahum ta'aamun illaa min daree'

No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ ﴿7﴾

Laa yusminu wa laa yughnee min joo'

Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ ﴿8﴾

Wujoohuny yawma 'izin naa'imah

In that day other faces will be calm,

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ ﴿9﴾

Lisa'yihaa raadiyah

Glad for their effort past,

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ ﴿10﴾

Fee jannatin 'aaliyah

In a high Garden

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ ﴿11﴾

Laa tasma'u feehaa laaghiyah

Where they hear no idle speech,

فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ ﴿12﴾

Feehaa 'aynun jaariyah

Wherein is a gushing spring,

فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ ﴿13﴾

Feehaa sururum marfoo'ah

Wherein are couches raised

وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ ﴿14﴾

Wa akwaabum mawdoo 'ah

And goblets set at hand

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ ﴿15﴾

Wa namaariqu masfoofah

And cushions ranged

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ﴿16﴾

Wa zaraabiyyu mabsoosah

And silken carpets spread.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ﴿17﴾

Afalaa yanzuroona ilalibili kaifa khuliqat

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

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ﴿18﴾

Wa ilas samaaa'i kaifa rufi'at

And the heaven, how it is raised?

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ﴿19﴾

Wa ilal jibaali kaifa nusibat

And the hills, how they are set up?

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ﴿20﴾

Wa ilal ardi kaifa sutihat

And the earth, how it is spread?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ ﴿21﴾

Fazakkir innama anta Muzakkir

Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ﴿22﴾

Lasta 'alaihim bimusaitir

Thou art not at all a warder over them.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ﴿23﴾

Illaa man tawallaa wa kafar

But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ ﴿24﴾

Fa yu'azzibuhul laahul 'azaabal akbar

Allah will punish him with direst punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ ﴿25﴾

Innaa ilainaaa iyaabahum

Lo! unto Us is their return

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ﴿26﴾

Summa inna 'alainaa hisaabahum

And Ours their reckoning.
