By the daybreak!
|
|
2. * |
And the ten nights!
|
|
3. * |
And the even and the odd!
|
|
4. * |
And the night when it departs!
|
|
5. * |
Truly in this is an oath for men of understanding.
|
|
6. * |
Hast thou not considered how thy Lord dealt with ‘Ad,
|
|
7. * |
(Of) Iram, having lofty buildings,
|
|
8. * |
The like of which were not created in the land;
|
|
9. * |
And (with) Thamud, who hewed out rocks in the valley;
|
|
10. * |
And (with) Pharaoh, the lord of hosts,
|
|
11. * |
Who exceeded limits in the cities,
|
|
12. * |
And made great mischief therein?
|
|
13. * |
So thy Lord poured on them a portion of chastisement.
|
|
14. * |
Surely thy Lord is Watchful;
|
|
15. * |
As for man, when his Lord tries him, then gives him honour and favours him, he says: My Lord honours me.
|
|
16. * |
But when He tries him, then straitens to him his subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.
|
|
17. * |
Nay, but you honour not the orphan,
|
|
18. * |
Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
|
|
19. * |
And you devour heritage, devouring all,
|
|
20. * |
And you love wealth with exceeding love.
|
|
21. * |
Nay, when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
|
|
22. * |
And thy Lord comes with the angels, ranks on ranks;
|
|
23. * |
And hell is made to appear that day. On that day man will be mindful, and of what use will being mindful be then?
|
|
24. * |
He will say: O would that I had sent before for (this) my life!
|
|
25. * |
But none can punish as He will punish on that day.
|
|
26. * |
And none can bind as He will bind on that day.
|
|
27. * |
O soul that art at rest,
|
|
28. * |
Return to thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing,
|
|
29. * |
So enter among My servants,
|
|
30. * |
And enter My Garden!
