| 1. * | O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)! |
| 2. * | Arise and deliver thy warning! |
| 3. * | And thy Lord do thou magnify! |
| 4. * | And thy garments keep free from stain! |
| 5. * | And all abomination shun! |
| 6. * | Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)! |
| 7. * | But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant! |
| 8. * | Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded, |
| 9. * | That will be- that Day - a Day of Distress,- |
| 10. * | Far from easy for those without Faith. |
| 11. * | Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!- |
| 12. * | To whom I granted resources in abundance, |
| 13. * | And sons to be by his side!- |
| 14. * | To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable! |
| 15. * | Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet more);- |
| 16. * | By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory! |
| 17. * | Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities! |
| 18. * | For he thought and he plotted;- |
| 19. * | And woe to him! How he plotted!- |
| 20. * | Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!- |
| 21. * | Then he looked round; |
| 22. * | Then he frowned and he scowled; |
| 23. * | Then he turned back and was haughty; |
| 24. * | Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old; |
| 25. * | "This is nothing but the word of a mortal!" |
| 26. * | Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! |
| 27. * | And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is? |
| 28. * | Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!- |
| 29. * | Darkening and changing the colour of man! |
| 30. * | Over it are Nineteen. |
| 31. * | And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this ?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind. |
| 32. * | Nay, verily: By the Moon, |
| 33. * | And by the Night as it retreateth, |
| 34. * | And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,- |
| 35. * | This is but one of the mighty (portents), |
| 36. * | A warning to mankind,- |
| 37. * | To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;- |
| 38. * | Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds. |
| 39. * | Except the Companions of the Right Hand. |
| 40. * | (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other, |
| 41. * | And (ask) of the Sinners: |
| 42. * | "What led you into Hell Fire?" |
| 43. * | They will say: "We were not of those who prayed; |
| 44. * | "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent; |
| 45. * | "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers; |
| 46. * | "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, |
| 47. * | "Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain." |
| 48. * | Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them. |
| 49. * | Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?- |
| 50. * | As if they were affrighted asses, |
| 51. * | Fleeing from a lion! |
| 52. * | Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out! |
| 53. * | By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter, |
| 54. * | Nay, this surely is an admonition: |
| 55. * | Let any who will, keep it in remembrance! |
| 56. * | But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness. |
