بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ هَل أَتاكَ حَديثُ الغاشِيَةِ

Did you hear of the Overwhelming Event?

وُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ خاشِعَةٌ

Some faces on that day will be humbled.

تَصلىٰ نارًا حامِيَةً

Exposed to a fiercely blazing fire.

تُسقىٰ مِن عَينٍ آنِيَةٍ

Made to drink from a flaming spring.

لَيسَ لَهُم طَعامٌ إِلّا مِن ضَريعٍ

Their only food will be bitter thorns.

لا يُسمِنُ وَلا يُغني مِن جوعٍ

Which neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.

وُجوهٌ يَومَئِذٍ ناعِمَةٌ

Other faces on that day will be joyful.
