هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَـٰشِيَةِ ﴿١﴾

Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـٰشِعَةٌ ﴿٢﴾

[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ ﴿٣﴾

Working [hard] and exhausted.

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ ﴿٤﴾

They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ ﴿٥﴾

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ ﴿٦﴾

For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ ﴿٧﴾

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ ﴿٨﴾

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ ﴿٩﴾

With their effort [they are] satisfied

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ ﴿١٠﴾

In an elevated garden,

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَـٰغِيَةًۭ ﴿١١﴾

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ ﴿١٢﴾

Within it is a flowing spring.

فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ ﴿١٣﴾

Within it are couches raised high

وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ ﴿١٤﴾

And cups put in place

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ ﴿١٥﴾

And cushions lined up

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ﴿١٦﴾

And carpets spread around.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ﴿١٧﴾

Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ﴿١٨﴾

And at the sky - how it is raised?

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ﴿١٩﴾

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ﴿٢٠﴾

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ ﴿٢١﴾

So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ﴿٢٢﴾

You are not over them a controller.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ﴿٢٣﴾

However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ ﴿٢٥﴾

Indeed, to Us is their return.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ﴿٢٦﴾

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
