بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ ﴿3﴾
Wa maa adraaka mal qaari'ah
3. And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
اور تم کیا جانوں کھڑ کھڑانے والی کیا ہے؟
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ ﴿4﴾
Yauma ya koonun naasu kal farashil mabthooth
4. It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
(وہ قیامت ہے) جس دن لوگ ایسے ہوں گے جیسے بکھرے ہوئے پتنگے
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ ﴿5﴾
Wa ta koonul jibalu kal 'ihnil manfoosh
5. And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
اور پہاڑ ایسے ہو جائیں گے جیسے دھنکی ہوئی رنگ برنگ کی اون
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ﴿6﴾
Fa-amma man thaqulat mawa zeenuh
6. Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
تو جس کے (اعمال کے) وزن بھاری نکلیں گے
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ ﴿7﴾
Fahuwa fee 'ishatir raadiyah
7. He will be in a pleasant life.
وہ دل پسند عیش میں ہو گا
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ ﴿8﴾
Wa amma man khaffat mawa zeenuh
8. But as for one whose scales are light,
اور جس کے وزن ہلکے نکلیں گے
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ ﴿10﴾
Wa maa adraaka maa hiyah
10. And what can make you know what that is?
اور تم کیا سمجھے کہ ہاویہ کیا چیز ہے؟
