اس روز بہت سے منہ (والے) ذلیل ہوں گے
For people on the Day of Resurrection will either be wretched or blissful. The faces of the wretched will be humiliated and downcast.

اور خار دار جھاڑ کے سوا ان کے لیے کوئی کھانا نہیں (ہو گا)
They will not have any food to nourish them except among the vilest and filthiest of it from a plant called Shibriq. If it dries up, it becomes poisonous.

فِیْ جَنَّةٍ عَالِیَةٍ ۟ۙفِىۡ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۙ
بہشت بریں میں
In a paradise elevated in place and rank.
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِیْهَا لَاغِیَةً ۟ؕلَّا تَسۡمَعُ فِيۡهَا لَاغِيَةً
وہاں کسی طرح کی بکواس نہیں سنیں گے
In the garden, they will not hear any word of falsehood and frivolity, let alone hear any prohibited word.
فِیْهَا عَیْنٌ جَارِیَةٌ ۟ۘفِيۡهَا عَيۡنٌ جَارِيَةٌ
اس میں چشمے بہ رہے ہوں گے
In this paradise, there are flowing springs that they will cause to erupt and direct however they wish.
فِیْهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوْعَةٌ ۟ۙفِيۡهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرۡفُوۡعَةٌ
وہاں تخت ہوں گے اونچے بچھے ہوئے
In it (Paradise) are high couches.
وَّاَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوْعَةٌ ۟ۙوَّاَكۡوَابٌ مَّوۡضُوۡعَةٌ

اَفَلَا یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَی الْاِبِلِ كَیْفَ خُلِقَتْ ۟ۥاَفَلَا يَنۡظُرُوۡنَ اِلَى الۡاِ بِلِ كَيۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ
یہ لوگ اونٹوں کی طرف نہیں دیکھتے کہ کیسے (عجیب) پیدا کیے گئے ہیں
Allah highlights the contrast between the wretched and the fortunate in the Hereafter. He then draws the attention of the non-believers towards the beauty of His creation and the power it demonstrates. This serves as evidence for them to believe in Him and gain entry into Paradise, thereby becoming among the blissful. He states:
Do they not look reflecting at the camels, how Allah created them and subjugated them to human beings?!
وَاِلَی السَّمَآءِ كَیْفَ رُفِعَتْ ۟ۥوَاِلَى السَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ
اور آسمان کی طرف کہ کیسا بلند کیا گیا ہے
And look at the sky, how He raised it so that it became a preserved ceiling above them that does not fall on them?!
وَاِلَی الْجِبَالِ كَیْفَ نُصِبَتْ ۟ۥوَاِلَى الۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ
اور پہاڑوں کی طرف کہ کس طرح کھڑے کیے گئے ہیں
And look at the mountains, how He erected them, stabilizing the earth with them such that it does not shake with the people?!
وَاِلَی الْاَرْضِ كَیْفَ سُطِحَتْ ۟ۥوَاِلَى الۡاَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ
اور زمین کی طرف کہ کس طرح بچھائی گئی
And look at the earth, how He spread it out, and made it prepared for people to settle down upon?!
فَذَكِّرْ ؕ۫— اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ۟ؕفَذَكِّرۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنۡتَ مُذَكِّرٌ
تو تم نصیحت کرتے رہو کہ تم نصیحت کرنے والے ہی ہو
After directing them to witness the manifestation of His power, Allah directs His Messenger, stating:
So admonish, O Messenger, these people and instill fear of Allah's torment. You are but a reminder; all that is upon you is to remind them. As for them attaining faith, that is in Allah's hand alone.
لَسْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِمُصَۜیْطِرٍ ۟ۙلَـسۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِمُصَۜيۡطِرٍۙ
تم ان پر داروغہ نہیں ہو
You do not have the power to compel them to believe.
اِلَّا مَنْ تَوَلّٰی وَكَفَرَ ۟ۙاِلَّا مَنۡ تَوَلّٰى وَكَفَرَۙ
ہاں جس نے منہ پھیرا اور نہ مانا
However, whoever turns away from faith and rejects Allah and His Messenger,
فَیُعَذِّبُهُ اللّٰهُ الْعَذَابَ الْاَكْبَرَ ۟ؕفَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللّٰهُ الۡعَذَابَ الۡاَكۡبَرَؕ
تو خدا اس کو بڑا عذاب دے گا
Then Allah will torment him on the Day of Resurrection with the greatest torment by entering him into Hell where they will remain eternally therein.
اِنَّ اِلَیْنَاۤ اِیَابَهُمْ ۟ۙاِنَّ اِلَيۡنَاۤ اِيَابَهُمۡۙ
بےشک ان کو ہمارے پاس لوٹ کر آنا ہے
To Us alone is their return after their death.
ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَیْنَا حِسَابَهُمْ ۟۠ثُمَّ اِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا حِسَابَهُمْ
پھر ہم ہی کو ان سے حساب لینا ہے
Then, holding them accountable for their actions is indeed upon Us alone. It is not upon you or anyone else.
