* | quran | * | 88. al-ghashiya. the overwhelming calamity      <   > 

y_ali
 
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.
