| 1. * | Ha. Mim. |
| 2. * | By the Scripture that maketh plain |
| 3. * | Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning - |
| 4. * | Whereon every wise command is made clear |
| 5. * | As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending - |
| 6. * | A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower, |
| 7. * | Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure. |
| 8. * | There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers. |
| 9. * | Nay, but they play in doubt. |
| 10. * | But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke |
| 11. * | That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment. |
| 12. * | (Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers. |
| 13. * | How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them, |
| 14. * | And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman? |
| 15. * | Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief). |
| 16. * | On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish. |
| 17. * | And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger, |
| 18. * | Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you. |
| 19. * | And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant. |
| 20. * | And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death. |
| 21. * | And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go. |
| 22. * | And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk. |
| 23. * | Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed, |
| 24. * | And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host. |
| 25. * | How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind, |
| 26. * | And the cornlands and the goodly sites |
| 27. * | And pleasant things wherein they took delight! |
| 28. * | Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk; |
| 29. * | And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved. |
| 30. * | And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom; |
| 31. * | (We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones. |
| 32. * | And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures. |
| 33. * | And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial. |
| 34. * | Lo! these, forsooth, are saying: |
| 35. * | There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again. |
| 36. * | Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth! |
| 37. * | Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty. |
| 38. * | And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play. |
| 39. * | We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not. |
| 40. * | Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them, |
| 41. * | A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped, |
| 42. * | Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful. |
| 43. * | Lo! the tree of Zaqqum, |
| 44. * | The food of the sinner! |
| 45. * | Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies |
| 46. * | As the seething of boiling water. |
| 47. * | (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell, |
| 48. * | Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water. |
| 49. * | (Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble! |
| 50. * | Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt. |
| 51. * | Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured. |
| 52. * | Amid gardens and watersprings, |
| 53. * | Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another. |
| 54. * | Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes. |
| 55. * | They call therein for every fruit in safety. |
| 56. * | They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell, |
| 57. * | A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph. |
| 58. * | And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed. |
| 59. * | Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting. |
