88. Al-Ghaashiyah - The Overwhelming
1 | Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? |
2 | Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, |
3 | Labouring (hard), weary,- |
4 | The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- |
5 | The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, |
6 | No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' |
7 | Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. |
8 | (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, |
9 | Pleased with their striving,- |
10 | In a Garden on high, |
11 | Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: |
12 | Therein will be a bubbling spring: |
13 | Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, |
14 | Goblets placed (ready), |
15 | And cushions set in rows, |
16 | And rich carpets (all) spread out. |
17 | Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- |
18 | And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- |
19 | And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- |
20 | And at the Earth, how it is spread out? |
21 | Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. |
22 | Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. |
23 | But if any turn away and reject Allah,- |
24 | Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, |
25 | For to Us will be their return; |
26 | Then it will be for Us to call them to account. |
