| 1. * | The God of MERCY |
| 2. * | hath taught the Koran, |
| 3. * | Hath created man, |
| 4. * | Hath taught him articulate speech, |
| 5. * | The Sun and the Moon have each their times, |
| 6. * | And the plants and the trees bend in adoration. |
| 7. * | And the Heaven, He hath reared it on high, and hath appointed the balance; |
| 8. * | That in the balance ye should not transgress. |
| 9. * | Weigh therefore with fairness, and scant not the balance. |
| 10. * | And the Earth, He hath prepared it for the living tribes: |
| 11. * | Therein are fruits, and the palms with sheathed clusters, |
| 12. * | And the grain with its husk, and the fragrant plants. |
| 13. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 14. * | He created man of clay like that of the potter. |
| 15. * | And He created the djinn of pure fire: |
| 16. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 17. * | He is the Lord of the East, He is the Lord of the West: |
| 18. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 19. * | He hath let loose the two seas which meet each other: |
| 20. * | Yet between them is a barrier which they overpass not: |
| 21. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 22. * | From each he bringeth up pearls both great and small: |
| 23. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 24. * | And His are the ships towering up at sea like mountains: |
| 25. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 26. * | All on the earth shall pass away, |
| 27. * | But the face of thy Lord shall abide resplendent with majesty and glory: |
| 28. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 29. * | To Him maketh suit all that is in the Heaven and the Earth. Every day doth some new work employ Him: |
| 30. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 31. * | We will find leisure to judge you, O ye men and djinn: |
| 32. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 33. * | O company of djinn and men, if ye can overpass the bounds of the Heavens and the Earth, then overpass them. But by our leave only shall ye overpass them: |
| 34. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 35. * | A bright flash of fire shall be hurled at you both, and molten brass, and ye shall not defend yourselves from it: |
| 36. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 37. * | When the Heaven shall be cleft asunder, and become rose red, like stained leather: |
| 38. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 39. * | On that day shall neither man nor djinn be asked of his sin: |
| 40. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 41. * | By their tokens shall the sinners be known, and they shall be seized by their forelocks and their feet: |
| 42. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 43. * | This is Hell which sinners treated as a lie. |
| 44. * | To and fro shall they pass between it and the boiling water: |
| 45. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 46. * | But for those who dread the majesty of their Lord shall be two gardens: |
| 47. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 48. * | With o'erbranching trees in each: |
| 49. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 50. * | (missing in translation) |
| 51. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 52. * | In each two kinds of every fruit: |
| 53. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 54. * | On couches with linings of brocade shall they recline, and the fruit of the two gardens shall be within easy reach: |
| 55. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 56. * | Therein shall be the damsels with retiring glances, whom nor man nor djinn hath touched before them: |
| 57. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 58. * | Like jacynths and pearls: |
| 59. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 60. * | Shall the reward of good be aught but good? |
| 61. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 62. * | And beside these shall be two other gardens: |
| 63. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 64. * | Of a dark green: |
| 65. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 66. * | With gushing fountains in each: |
| 67. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 68. * | In each, fruits and the palm and the pomegranate: |
| 69. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 70. * | In each, the fair, the beauteous ones: |
| 71. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 72. * | With large dark eyeballs, kept close in their pavilions: |
| 73. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 74. * | Whom man hath never touched, nor any djinn: |
| 75. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 76. * | Their spouses on soft green cushions and on beautiful carpets shall recline: |
| 77. * | Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye twain deny? |
| 78. * | Blessed be the name of thy Lord, full of majesty and glory. |
