لَّيۡسَ لَهُمۡ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٖ

For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

لَّا يُسۡمِنُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِن جُوعٖ

Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ نَّاعِمَةٞ

[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

لِّسَعۡيِهَا رَاضِيَةٞ

With their effort [they are] satisfied

فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٖ

In an elevated garden,

لَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةٗ

Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.[1]

فِيهَا عَيۡنٞ جَارِيَةٞ

Within it is a flowing spring.

فِيهَا سُرُرٞ مَّرۡفُوعَةٞ

Within it are couches raised high

وَأَكۡوَابٞ مَّوۡضُوعَةٞ

And cups put in place

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصۡفُوفَةٞ

And cushions lined up

وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبۡثُوثَةٌ

And carpets spread around.

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ

Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ

And at the sky - how it is raised?

وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ

And at the mountains - how they are erected?

وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ

And at the earth - how it is spread out?

فَذَكِّرۡ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٞ

So remind, [O Muúammad]; you are only a reminder.

لَّسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِمُصَيۡطِرٍ

You are not over them a controller.

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ

However, he who turns away and disbelieves

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرَ

Then AllŒh will punish him with the greatest punishment.

إِنَّ إِلَيۡنَآ إِيَابَهُمۡ

Indeed, to Us is their return.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُم

Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ

By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٖ

And [by] ten nights[1]

وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَسۡرِ

And [by] the night when it passes,

هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?[1]

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ÔAad –

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ

[With] Iram[1] - who had lofty pillars,[2]

ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ

The likes of whom had never been created in the land?

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ

And [with] Tham´d, who carved out the rocks in the valley?
