| 1. * | Nun. By the pen and that which they write (therewith), |
| 2. * | Thou art not, for thy Lord's favour unto thee, a madman. |
| 3. * | And lo! thine verily will be a reward unfailing. |
| 4. * | And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature. |
| 5. * | And thou wilt see and they will see |
| 6. * | Which of you is the demented. |
| 7. * | Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who walk aright. |
| 8. * | Therefor obey not thou the rejecters |
| 9. * | Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise. |
| 10. * | Neither obey thou each feeble oath-monger, |
| 11. * | Detracter, spreader abroad of slanders, |
| 12. * | Hinderer of the good, transgressor, malefactor |
| 13. * | Greedy therewithal, intrusive. |
| 14. * | It is because he is possessed of wealth and children |
| 15. * | That, when Our revelations are recited unto him, he saith: Mere fables of the men of old. |
| 16. * | We shall brand him on the nose. |
| 17. * | Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed that they would pluck its fruit next morning, |
| 18. * | And made no exception (for the Will of Allah); |
| 19. * | Then a visitation from thy Lord came upon it while they slept |
| 20. * | And in the morning it was as if plucked. |
| 21. * | And they cried out one unto another in the morning, |
| 22. * | Saying: Run unto your field if ye would pluck (the fruit). |
| 23. * | So they went off, saying one unto another in low tones: |
| 24. * | No needy man shall enter it to-day against you. |
| 25. * | They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose. |
| 26. * | But when they saw it, they said: Lo! we are in error! |
| 27. * | Nay, but we are desolate! |
| 28. * | The best among them said: Said I not unto you: Why glorify ye not (Allah)? |
| 29. * | They said: Glorified be our Lord! Lo! we have been wrong-doers. |
| 30. * | Then some of them drew near unto others, self-reproaching. |
| 31. * | They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous. |
| 32. * | It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! we beseech our Lord. |
| 33. * | Such was the punishment. And verily the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they did but know. |
| 34. * | Lo! for those who keep from evil are gardens of bliss with their Lord. |
| 35. * | Shall We then treat those who have surrendered as We treat the guilty? |
| 36. * | What aileth you? How foolishly ye judge! |
| 37. * | Or have ye a scripture wherein ye learn |
| 38. * | That ye shall indeed have all that ye choose? |
| 39. * | Or have ye a covenant on oath from Us that reacheth to the Day of Judgment, that yours shall be all that ye ordain? |
| 40. * | Ask them (O Muhammad) which of them will vouch for that! |
| 41. * | Or have they other gods? Then let them bring their other gods if they are truthful |
| 42. * | On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able, |
| 43. * | With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt. |
| 44. * | Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement. We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not. |
| 45. * | Yet I bear with them, for lo! My scheme is firm. |
| 46. * | Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are heavily taxed? |
| 47. * | Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof)? |
| 48. * | But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair. |
| 49. * | Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate. |
| 50. * | But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous. |
| 51. * | And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say: Lo! he is indeed mad; |
| 52. * | When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation. |
