وُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَٮِٕذٍ خَاشِعَةٌۙ ٢
88:2On that day (many) faces will be downcast,
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌۙ ٣
88:3Toiling, weary,
تَصۡلٰى نَارًا حَامِيَةًۙ ٤
88:4Scorched by burning fire,
تُسۡقٰى مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ اٰنِيَةٍؕ ٥
88:5Drinking from a boiling spring,
لَـيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنۡ ضَرِيۡعٍۙ ٦
88:6No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit
لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِىۡ مِنۡ جُوۡعٍؕ ٧
88:7Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger.
وُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَٮِٕذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌۙ ٨
88:8In that day other faces will be calm,
لِّسَعۡيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۙ ٩
88:9Glad for their effort past,
فِىۡ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۙ ١٠
88:10In a high garden
لَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيۡهَا لَاغِيَةًؕ ١١
88:11Where they hear no idle speech,
فِيۡهَا عَيۡنٌ جَارِيَةٌۘ ١٢
88:12Wherein is a gushing spring,
فِيۡهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرۡفُوۡعَةٌۙ ١٣
88:13Wherein are couches raised
وَّاَكۡوَابٌ مَّوۡضُوۡعَةٌۙ ١٤
88:14And goblets set at hand
وَّنَمَارِقُ مَصۡفُوۡفَةٌۙ ١٥
88:15And cushions ranged
وَّزَرَابِىُّ مَبۡثُوۡثَةٌؕ ١٦
88:16And silken carpets spread.
اَفَلَا يَنۡظُرُوۡنَ اِلَى الۡاِ بِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ ١٧
88:17Will they not regard the camels, how they are created?
وَاِلَى السَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ ١٨
88:18And the heaven, how it is raised?
وَاِلَى الۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ ١٩
88:19And the hills, how they are set up?
وَاِلَى الۡاَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ ٢٠
88:20And the earth, how it is spread?
فَذَكِّرۡؕ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنۡتَ مُذَكِّرٌؕ ٢١
88:21Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,
لَـسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِمُصَۜيۡطِرٍۙ ٢٢
88:22Thou art not at all a warder over them.
اِلَّا مَنۡ تَوَلّٰى وَكَفَرَۙ ٢٣
88:23But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللّٰهُ الۡعَذَابَ الۡاَكۡبَرَؕ ٢٤
88:24Allah will punish him with direst punishment.
اِنَّ اِلَيۡنَاۤ اِيَابَهُمۡۙ ٢٥
88:25Lo! unto Us is their return
