| 1. * | I swear by the daybreak, |
| 2. * | And the ten nights, |
| 3. * | And the even and the odd, |
| 4. * | And the night when it departs. |
| 5. * | Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding. |
| 6. * | Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad, |
| 7. * | (The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings, |
| 8. * | The like of which were not created in the (other) cities; |
| 9. * | And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley, |
| 10. * | And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts, |
| 11. * | Who committed inordinacy in the cities, |
| 12. * | So they made great mischief therein? |
| 13. * | Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement. |
| 14. * | Most sure!y your Lord is watching. |
| 15. * | And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me. |
| 16. * | But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me. |
| 17. * | Nay! but you do not honor the orphan, |
| 18. * | Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor, |
| 19. * | And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately, |
| 20. * | And you love wealth with exceeding love. |
| 21. * | Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces, |
| 22. * | And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks, |
| 23. * | And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him? |
| 24. * | He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life! |
| 25. * | But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement, |
| 26. * | And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding. |
| 27. * | O soul that art at rest! |
| 28. * | Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him), |
| 29. * | So enter among My servants, |
| 30. * | And enter into My garden. |
