اِذَا وَقَعَتِ الۡوَاقِعَةُۙ ١
56:1When the event befalleth -
لَيۡسَ لِـوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌۘ ٢
56:2There is no denying that it will befall -
خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌۙ ٣
56:3Abasing (some), exalting (others);
اِذَا رُجَّتِ الۡاَرۡضُ رَجًّاۙ ٤
56:4When the earth is shaken with a shock
وَّبُسَّتِ الۡجِبَالُ بَسًّاۙ ٥
56:5And the hills are ground to powder
فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءً مُّنۡۢبَـثًّاۙ ٦
56:6So that they become a scattered dust,
وَّكُنۡـتُمۡ اَزۡوَاجًا ثَلٰـثَـةًؕ ٧
56:7And ye will be three kinds:
فَاَصۡحٰبُ الۡمَيۡمَنَةِࣙۙ مَاۤ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡمَيۡمَنَةِؕ ٨
56:8(First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?
وَاَصۡحٰبُ الۡمَشۡـَٔـمَةِࣙۙ مَاۤ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡمَشۡـَٔـمَةِؕ ٩
56:9And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand?
وَالسّٰبِقُوۡنَ السّٰبِقُوۡنَۚۙ ١٠
56:10And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race:
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الۡمُقَرَّبُوۡنَۚ ١١
56:11Those are they who will be brought nigh
فِىۡ جَنّٰتِ النَّعِيۡمِ ١٢
56:12In gardens of delight;
ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَۙ ١٣
56:13A multitude of those of old
وَقَلِيۡلٌ مِّنَ الۡاٰخِرِيۡنَؕ ١٤
56:14And a few of those of later time.
عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مَّوۡضُوۡنَةٍۙ ١٥
56:15On lined couches,
مُّتَّكِـــِٕيۡنَ عَلَيۡهَا مُتَقٰبِلِيۡنَ ١٦
56:16Reclining therein face to face.
يَطُوۡفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُوۡنَۙ ١٧
56:17There wait on them immortal youths
بِاَكۡوَابٍ وَّاَبَارِيۡقَࣙۙ وَكَاۡسٍ مِّنۡ مَّعِيۡنٍۙ ١٨
56:18With bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring
لَّا يُصَدَّعُوۡنَ عَنۡهَا وَلَا يُنۡزِفُوۡنَۙ ١٩
56:19Wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness,
وَفَاكِهَةٍ مِّمَّا يَتَخَيَّرُوۡنَۙ ٢٠
56:20And fruit that they prefer
وَلَحۡمِ طَيۡرٍ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُوۡنَؕ ٢١
56:21And flesh of fowls that they desire.
وَحُوۡرٌ عِيۡنٌۙ ٢٢
56:22And (there are) fair ones with wide, lovely eyes,
كَاَمۡثَالِ اللُّـؤۡلُـوٴِالۡمَكۡنُوۡنِۚ ٢٣
56:23Like unto hidden pearls,
جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ٢٤
56:24Reward for what they used to do.
لَا يَسۡمَعُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا لَغۡوًا وَّلَا تَاۡثِيۡمًاۙ ٢٥
56:25There hear they no vain speaking nor recrimination
