[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.
