1.  *     By the heaven adorned with signs;
 
2.  *     by the promised day of judgement;
 
3.  *     by the witness, and the witnessed;
 
4.  *     cursed were the contrivers of the pit,
 
5.  *     of fire supplied with fuel;
 
6.  *     when they sat round the same,
 
7.  *     and were witnesses of what they did against the true believers:
 
8.  *     And they afflicted them for no other reason, but because they believed in the mighty, the glorious God,
 
9.  *     unto whom belongeth the kingdom of heaven and earth: And God is witness of all things.
 
10.  *     Verily for those who persecute the true believers of either sex, and afterwards repent not, is prepared the torment of hell; and they shall suffer the pain of burning.
 
11.  *     But for those who believe, and do that which is right, are destined gardens beneath which rivers flow: This shall be great felicity.
 
12.  *     Verily the vengeance of thy Lord is severe.
 
13.  *     He createth, and He restoreth to life:
 
14.  *     He is inclined to forgive, and gracious:
 
15.  *     The possessor of the glorious throne;
 
16.  *     who effecteth that which He pleaseth.
 
17.  *     Hath not the story of the hosts,
 
18.  *     of Pharaoh, and of Thamud, reached thee?
 
19.  *     Yet the unbelievers cease not to accuse the divine revelations of falsehood:
 
20.  *     But God encompasseth them behind, that they cannot escape.
 
21.  *     Verily that which they reject is a glorious Koran;
 
22.  *     the original whereof is written in a table kept in heaven.
