Hal atāka ḥadīṡul-gāsyiyah(ti).

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

وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ ۙ

Wujūhuy yauma'iżin khāsyi‘ah(tun).

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

عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ ۙ

‘Amilatun nāṣibah(tun).

Working [hard] and exhausted.

تَصْلٰى نَارًا حَامِيَةً ۙ

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

تُسْقٰى مِنْ عَيْنٍ اٰنِيَةٍ ۗ

Tusqā min ‘ainin āniyah(tin).

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

لَيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنْ ضَرِيْعٍۙ

Laisa lahum ṭa‘āmun illā min ḍarī‘(in).

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

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِيْ مِنْ جُوْعٍۗ

Lā yusminu wa lā yugnī min jū‘(in).

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ ۙ

Wujūhuy yauma'iżin nā‘imah(tun).

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

Lisa‘yihā rāḍiyah(tun).

With their effort [they are] satisfied

فِيْ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۙ

Fī jannatin ‘āliyah(tin).

In an elevated garden,

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيْهَا لَاغِيَةً ۗ

Lā tasama‘u fīhā lāgiyah(tan).

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

فِيْهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ ۘ

Fīhā ‘ainun jāriyah(tun).

Within it is a flowing spring.

فِيْهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوْعَةٌ ۙ

Fīhā sururum marfū‘ah(tun).

Within it are couches raised high

وَّاَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوْعَةٌ ۙ

Wa akwābum mauḍū‘ah(tun).

And cups put in place

وَّنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوْفَةٌ ۙ

Wa namāriqu maṣfūfah(tun).

And cushions lined up

وَّزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوْثَةٌ ۗ

Wa zarābiyyu mabṡūṡah(tun).

And carpets spread around.

اَفَلَا يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَى الْاِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْۗ

Afalā yanẓurūna ilal-ibili kaifa khuliqat.

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

وَاِلَى السَّمَاۤءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْۗ

Wa ilas-samā'i kaifa rufi‘at.

And at the sky - how it is raised?

وَاِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْۗ

Wa ilal-jibāli kaifa nuṣibat.

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

وَاِلَى الْاَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْۗ

Wa ilal-arḍi kaifa suṭiḥat.

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

فَذَكِّرْۗ اِنَّمَآ اَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌۙ

Fa żakkir, innamā anta mużakkir(un).

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

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍۙ

Lasta ‘alaihim bimusaiṭir(in).

You are not over them a controller.

اِلَّا مَنْ تَوَلّٰى وَكَفَرَۙ

Illā man tawallā wa kafar(a).

However, he who turns away and disbelieves

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللّٰهُ الْعَذَابَ الْاَكْبَرَۗ

Fa yu‘ażżibuhullāhul-‘ażābal-akbar(a).

Then Allāh will punish him with the greatest punishment.

اِنَّ اِلَيْنَآ اِيَابَهُمْ

Inna ilainā iyābahum.

Indeed, to Us is their return.

ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ ࣖ

Ṡumma inna ‘alainā ḥisābahum.

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
