1. * |
BY the star-bespangled Heaven!
|
|
2. * |
By the promised Day!
|
|
3. * |
By the witness and the witnessed!
|
|
4. * |
Cursed the masters of the trench
|
|
5. * |
Of the fuel-fed fire,
|
|
6. * |
When they sat around it
|
|
7. * |
Witnesses of what they inflicted on the believers!
|
|
8. * |
Nor did they torment them but for their faith in God, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy:
|
|
9. * |
His the kingdom of the Heavens and of the Earth; and God is the witness of everything.
|
|
10. * |
Verily, those who vexed the believers, men and women, and repented not, doth the torment of Hell, and the torment of the burning, await.
|
|
11. * |
But for those who shall have believed and done the things that be right, are the Gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow. This the immense bliss!
|
|
12. * |
Verily, right terrible will be thy Lord's vengeance!
|
|
13. * |
He it is who produceth all things, and causeth them to return;
|
|
14. * |
And is He the Indulgent, the Loving;
|
|
15. * |
Possessor of the Glorious throne;
|
|
16. * |
Worker of that he willeth.
|
|
17. * |
Hath not the story reached thee of the hosts
|
|
18. * |
Of Pharaoh and Themoud?
|
|
19. * |
Nay! the infields are all for denial:
|
|
20. * |
But God surroundeth them from behind.
|
|
21. * |
Yet it is a glorious Koran,
|
|
22. * |
Written on the preserved Table.
