| 1. * | By the dawn; |
| 2. * | By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Heejjah) , |
| 3. * | And by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah) . |
| 4. * | And by the night when it departs. |
| 5. * | There is indeed in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men of understanding (and that, they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbeliefs, etc.)! |
| 6. * | Did you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) not see (thought) how your Lord dealt with Ad (people)? |
| 7. * | Who were very tall like lofty pillars, |
| 8. * | The like of which were not created in the land? |
| 9. * | And (with) Thamood (people), who cut (hewed) out rocks in the valley (to make dwellings)? |
| 10. * | And (with) Firaun (Pharaoh), who had pegs (who used to torture men by binding them to pegs)? |
| 11. * | Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allah). |
| 12. * | And made therein much mischief. |
| 13. * | So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment. |
| 14. * | Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them). |
| 15. * | As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): "My Lord has honoured me." |
| 16. * | But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!" |
| 17. * | Nay! But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity (i.e. you neither treat them well, nor give them their exact right of inheritance)! |
| 18. * | And urge not on the feeding of AlMiskeen (the poor)! |
| 19. * | And you devour inheritance all with greed, |
| 20. * | And you love wealth with much love! |
| 21. * | Nay! When the earth is ground to powder, |
| 22. * | And your Lord comes with the angels in rows, |
| 23. * | And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance (then) avail him? |
| 24. * | He will say: "Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life!" |
| 25. * | So on that Day, none will punish as He will punish. |
| 26. * | And none will bind as He will bind. |
| 27. * | (It will be said to the pious): "O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction! |
| 28. * | "Come back to your Lord, Well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing unto Him! |
| 29. * | "Enter you, then, among My honoured slaves, |
| 30. * | "And enter you My Paradise!" |
